In light of what has become 2014’s first phenomenon, I’m announcing my entry into the #FlappyJam, the games jam in tribute to Flappy Bird, and protest from the backlash it has gotten from being taken down. While it took me as long to make as the original game (less than three days), the story surrounding Flappy Bird made me unsure about whether I should put it up online or not. This game is Tappy Bird.
Hey everyone! If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you’d be aware that I was gonna take part in Ludum Dare 28. So now that the jam has come and gone and we are in the judging period, you are probably asking where the game is.
Hey everyone! Great news, my entry for Ludum Dare 27 is online!
10 Second Paper Flight is a toss game, your aim is to make a paper aeroplane fly for 10 seconds, however it isn’t easy with the wind being powerful, and the things that parks get in the way!
I built the game in Actionscript 3 using Adam Atomic’s Flixel Framework, with artwork in Photoshop, Music using Bu-Autotracker and SoundEffects using Bfxr. Considering it’s my first original game programmed in Flixel (no going through tutorials or dabbling about like I have done in Flixel for the last month), it’s impressive I was able to pull this off in 48 hours, with artwork AND sound done by me as well.
Check out the Ludum Dare page here.
Or play the game directly on Newgrounds!
EDIT: You can now check out a timelapse of the making of 10 Second Paper Flight below!
Make sure to vote and rate my game, as well as the many other brilliant entries that are online!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to vote on several game jam submissions!
I figured with my second year has now been over for far too long, it’s time to show you some three month old University work!
So it’s been a few weeks, so I figured I’d show you some of my favourite games from the passing GBJam. Of course there are many brilliant submissions (including the one I was involved with :P), but here are just some of the great ones that appeared.
Yep, over 6 hours ago, the deadline passed. and Alex Earley posted up the current version of our game Star Runner! The game is in alpha stages, as it is a very ambitious project for us and unfortunately, not all of what we want to include couldn’t be done in the time we have. However, the team are still planning on continuing our work, so keep an eye out on the GBJam page for the most recent updates.
“The game will follow a galactic star hunter seeking to find the most precious energy source in entire universe, baby stars. These baby stars are called starlettes. They are an ancient race that form the bright burning suns of our worlds. In their infancy they must bond together in an ancient ritual to become a star. Our hero must decide will he help the starlettes to become a huge atom smashing machine of incandescent plasma? or will he use their ability to burn hydrogen into helium for his own selfish needs…
We really wanted to release by the deadline, but the project proved to be too ambitious for our personal lives. We plan on releasing future versions. Currently you can explore about half of our world. In future releases we plan on including music and FX, puzzles, NPC’s and a truly epic story. If you browse the source files you can get a preview of what a lot of that will be =D
Stay tuned!” – Alex Earley
Hey everyone! So there is this game jam online where the only theme is that you are restricted to some of the limitations of the original Game Boy. Well I am in that games jam! Continue reading
