Finally working on games again! :)

My game for Ludum Dare 37 (”One Room”): a small arena shooter where you grow plants to use as weapons as a bird gardener - 

Quick update on development:

Now explosions leave little flames behind, which wisp away after a couple seconds.

Also, I finally got a background tileset done for interior walls (see first gif) - good god, finding the right colors took a while

I made a game for Ludum Dare 36! (ancient technology theme)

It’s sort of like Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime in that you use a platforming character to control various parts of the Trojan mech-horse.

Use the horse’s high-powered missile cannon (they had those back then, right?) to break down the walls of Troy.

Quick gif, explosions damage larger props now - 

Basically, the props choose a random ‘damaged’ sprite upon contact with an explosion. It’s a simple system, but it stops giving the impression that the tables in the game are indestructible, so it works.

Hey there, it’s been a long while!

I've been working on the slow motion game a bit.

Basically, I recoded most of the game because the old code for the slow motion mechanic was greatly inefficient (I admit, previously the slow motion was achieved, horrifyingly, by changing the game logic speed from 400 fps to 60 fps during the game).

Now the game's a lot more efficient, so there are a lot more debris and effects everywhere!

True Matrix bullet time! Well, sort of. 

I’ve been working on expanding the gameplay for a while. The hero now has a substantial arsenal of ways to dodge bullets: shown in the gif are wall jumps, dodge rolls (mid-air dodge rolls in fact), and a slight downward boost. All to dance around enemies and their (now time-rippling) bullets. 

Updated level graphics, and a new enemy type!

There are a whole bunch of little effects here (added rain and smoke, from previous update; wires and other background props), but the main thing is the new detailed background! 

(It’s actually just one big vertical building duplicated and positioned to make a claustrophobic Kowloon-style city backdrop.)

We finished our Bad Box Art game jam entry, and it’s up on gamejolt!

I worked with dainryoo, who did most of the art on this game.

As per the 48h challenge, this game was based off of this existing cover art. The basic gist of our game is that you must balance two tasks: to win, you must furiously paint your fence as fast as possible.

However, the more you paint, the more your adorable dog is in danger from being eaten (and subsequently exploding). You must protect your dog using a double barreled AK-47.

Fighting the Vulture Tribe!
