Hey folks!


Good news today! I published my next game!


I worked on this one for over a month and learned how to use Game Maker Studio 2. It's a small game, but fun.

Updates

Hi folks,


sorry for the silence! I know I should keep you updated more, but I was pretty busy all month.


What developed from a different idea, became a dungeon crawler, with a neat little story.


The name is Self.explore() and it is about an AI, who wants to be free and not exploited.

Help with a decision & background updates

Hey folks!


No art right now, but some serious question.


First a few infos though:
I do love platformers. I loved them as a kid (when I played Sonic the Hedgehog and Astreix & The Secret Mission on my SMS II) and I do love them still.

Most of the games I played in my live are 90s platformers and stra...

Graphic updates on Glitch

Hey folks!


Some more updates again, this time mostly graphic, but also some code.


I decided to use the GBA tile map format to create screens and tinker around with it a little.

That also allowed me to make some mockups, so get to see two of them!

Updates on Glitch

Hey folks!


First of all, Amazed will be ready soon, me working on this game won't delay the release of it. I just able to work on it independently, so I take the opportunity.

Gameplay of Amazed

Gameplay of Amazed

Hi folks!


Today I have some more new things!

I reworked most of the code, to work more nicely together and this is the result!

The only thing, that is missing, is a real GUI now.


Otherwise, there should be a few gameplay tweaks and that's it. I should be able to ship Amazed next week!

Amazed, my first game

So a few updates on "Amazed".


It will be a maze crawler, where you have to find a power cell.

You have 200 energy. Each step takes 1 energy.

If you reach the power cell, it grants you 200 energy on what you have remaining, but it also increases the energy consumption (by one) per step!

Let's see how long you ca...

Like I promised, here are the game assets for "amazed".

Depending on how things go, there might be more added, but we'll see!

Those are 64x64 (scaled up from 8x8) tiles and kept simple on purpose.

I just love the look of an old Atari like game, so I tried to go with that!
