In 2 weeks time, I'll be releasing this year's Advent Calendar, titled "Alpha Collexion" (so that after Xmas, it's still relevant, and is just as playable!) (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/400-logo.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/400-logo-300x150.png" alt="400-logo" width="300" height="150" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4156" /> In order that the collexion is DEFINITELY in the OUYA store ...

It's alarming, how many people see "AGameAWeek", and imagine it's a haven for game reviews. .. They simply can't wrap their head around the idea of a single guy actually CREATING AGameAWeek!!! <br /><br />(URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_6998.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_6998.png" alt="IMG_6998.PNG" class="alignnone size-full" />

Ok, so, I need a new archive. It's been a good number of years since I originally created the Jayenkai Archive, and although the software's lasted through a fair number of rethemes, and a fair number of enhancements over the years, it all still pretty much has the exact same issues that it did on day one.

If you hadn't broken it, then it wouldn't be broken..

Regular AGameAWeek service will resume shortly. The Advent collection will be released on Dec 1st In the meantime, please enjoy the huge variety of games, previously released, available in the Archive. Thank You for staying with AGameAWeek during this short break. More to come. <br /><br />(URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_6969.jpg"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_6969.jpg" alt="IMG_6969.JPG" class="alignnone size-full" /...

Getting a bit panic'y now! So far I've got 7.5 games finished for the Advent calendar, which means I have about 25 days to complete around about 19 games. It's going to be scarily close. Meanwhile, I found myself wondering... What would Platdude look like, if turned into one of these over-size-head Pop Vinyl figure things.... <br /><br />(URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_6937.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_6937.png" alt...

Not sure how useful this'll be, but you now have a new way to chat about AGameAWeek.. Facebook Rooms is a new app on iOS, and I'm sure it's available via other methods, otherwise it's a great big waste of time!! <br /><br />(URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/IMG_6845.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/IMG_6845.png" alt="IMG_6845.PNG" class="alignnone size-full" />

The great online site, (URL "https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/10/17/freeware-garden-platdude-in-a-bit-of-a-spin/">Rock, Paper, Shotgun) seem to have randomly decided to feature a Platdude game, which is odd, given that they've picked the most frustratingly difficult one!! Platdude in a Bit of a Spin has been picked for their (URL "https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/10/17/freeware-garden-platdude-in-a-bit-of-a-spin/">frontpage)! Hurray for Platdude!!

During these later months of the year, whilst I'm busying away with my Advent calendar collection, there's going to be a slight delay in the usual AGameAWeek pace of things. Rest assured, I'm still coding, and there will be a nice end-result, hopefully!! In the meantime, enjoy this lovely picture. <br /><br />(URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/IMG_6669.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/IMG_6669.png" alt="IMG_6669.PNG" class="alignn...

Each year, time dependent, I like to do something special over Xmas, and this year I've opted to start early. If I want a whole Xmas Collection ready on the OUYA (And possibly iOS Store) in time, I need to get onto it quickly enough to have it finished, uploaded, and passed through review, in time for Xmas. And, if it's an Advent Calendar, then it needs to be ready even earlier, for Dec 1st. Yikes!! I started the planning stages of this thing a couple of months ago, when I asked folk on both Socoder a...

On previous releases of "Arcade Slots" games, people have consistently whinged that the games are "TOOOOOO RANDOM!!!". They then inexplicably ignore the actual game, and get stuck in a "OMG! ITS RANDOM!" loop, whereby they can't seem to enjoy the games at all. Of COURSE the games are Random! They're supposed to be random! It's a flamin' Slot Machine.. That's the whole bloomin' point of slot machines! .. But people can't seem to let go, so this time around I opted to pre-empt their whinging by adding a ...

A new spin on an old favourite. Can you guide Platdude through a series of completely random mazes! <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Platdude_in_A_Bit_of_a_Spin_20140930A_thumb.png"> <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Platdude_in_A_Bit_of_a_Spin_20140930B_thumb.png">

You may have noticed a slight lack of gaming over the past couple of months. Usually I cut down on AGameAWeek during the closing months of a year, and instead focus on a larger project, but over the course of this year I've already tackled a number of larger projects. Blockman Worlds, JNK Bombers, Future Classics.. They've all been substantially larger than my standard weekly output. As such, I'm actually struggling to come up with a decent "end of year project" that would be worth tackling. Instead, I...

As such, it's time to rearrange things in my bedroom.
