Happy Amiga Day!
Blog
31st May 2014
Today is, apparently, Amiga Day.
Not entirely sure what it is we're supposed to do on Amiga Day, but I figured it'd be nice to compile one of my old AMOS games, and stick it onto my Archive for all to laugh at!
I've actually dated this one in the code, as being from 1997!! No idea when in 1997, so I'll say it's probably December... but yeay! Oldest thing on my Archive

Man With A Gun!

*shrugs*
Been playing around with a nice control scheme for "Man with a Big Gun", and he seems to be fairly workable. Not sure exactly on how he'll interact with the world, yet, but I have a vague plan in mind, which may or may not result in a highly playable shooty game!
Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!

What happens when you take Platdude, sit him on a rocket, and send him blasting his way through a colourful rainbow tube, full of stars!?
Time to find out, as we take our monthly trip into the realm of Platdude!

Y6-May : JNKBombers
Blog
22nd May 2014
Last month, I set aside the whole month to create a nice and lengthy month-long project. Blockman Worlds surprisingly took just a week to create, and then I was right back to the regular AGameAWeek schedule!!
This month, I opted to delve into something even bulkier, and the resulting game is really quite nice. Oddly, it took alarmingly longer than expected, so isn't quite as chunky as I'd like it to have been.
As it is, though, it's a wonderful little highly playable local-multiplayer edition of DynaBla...

So far so good on the JNKBombers front.
Most of Battle Mode's features are implemented as planned.
Human players, AI players, Bombs, Shield, Coins, Shop and today I added a few cheap-as-chips themes into the mix for good measure. There's only 6 themes, but it's enough to keep it marginally interesting!
Over the next couple of days, I'll keep tweaking away at the AI, and maybe add some new powerups, but otherwise I'm now at the point where I can say "Yeah, that's what I wanted to play!!"
Still a coupl...

The game's coming along smoothly, now that I've finally settled on a vaguely decent AI. Obviously, it'll play a LOT better when you've got actual players to play against, but if you're sad and alone like me, you'll have something to play against.

As the game continues to get built up, I've started to work on a generic looking menu system for it.

I've just added my first Amiga game to my Jayenkai Archive.
I've had access to the disk's files for a long time, but never got around to getting the compiler stuff up and running.
Today, I finally buggered about with WinUAE and my collection of Amos disks, and got Amos Pro Compiler up and running.

JNKBombers?
Blog
9th May 2014
I've not attempted a Bomberman clone for many many years, so after a fairly short discussion on the OUYA forums, I sprang to life, and got started.
So far so good, but I'm thinking there's a lot of stuff to implement, so it'll probably take a little longer to finish this game than my regular AGameAWeek schedule.
Don't be surprised if this one drags on a little!

Ups and Downs

8th May 2014
One of the hardest things in the world of AGameAWeek is when you take time off.
The past week has been chaotic at home, and things got a bit down in the realm of the real-world. As such, I opted to take the week off from AGameAWeek, mostly because my mind wasn't in the right place to be designing fun little games.
The week off left me a little bored, and as is usually the case when in that mindset, I started to look back through the past few weeks and dig through the stats.

Seems I'm currently in the mood to do more odd other stuff, rather than the core game coding, this week.
Aw well, here's another tune, which may or may not find it's way into a future game.

My Spreadshirt AGameAWeek store has been available for many years, but is rarely ever bothered with.. .. Usually because I never bother to link to it!
Yesterday I posted the "Evolution of Dude" pic, and someone on Twitter suggested it'd make a nice TShirt.
...Yeah, why not!!
So, today, I'm reopening (and/or re-using!) the store, and have added the (URL "https://agameaweek.spreadshirt.co.uk/evolution-of-dude-tshirt-A28273211/customize/color/4">Evolution of Dude TShirt.)

No Game :(
Blog
4th May 2014
Although I started a game, the other day, something else came up and it's removed my normally-frantic coding spirit.
Family life is always more important than AGameAWeek.
Normal service will resume next week, probably with the game I started the other day.
Happy 4th of May, folks.
Live Long, and Prosper.
