I linked the wrong page in my last blog post and I only noticed it today. If you want to try out the demo for Secret of Escape, go to the page here. You can also find the page by going to Games > 2013 and clicking on the Secret of Escape screenshot.
Sorry for the error.
Hey everyone! Just thought you should try out PuzzleScript, it’s a neat little Puzzle Game HTML5 engine with a very easy to use scripting functionality with an editor and a debugger to help you make a neat puzzle game.
I found out about it on Reddit and a few of my friends tried it out, and after a few hours of playing around I came up with this: Power of Two
Try it out here, and have some fun making puzzle games!
So the Midsummer Jam Week is over, and my entry (Secret of Escape) is now online, now with its own page on the site and a video trailer!
Let me say I had a great time on this jam, especially posting my progress along the way. If I get enough of a good reception, I will continue work on it to make it bigger and better!
Let me show you some other entries that I enjoyed from the games jam (click on images to go to their pages):
Beard Simulator
Spirit in the Forest
Advanced Grass Simulator
Hemlighet
Check out all of the games submitted here.
I hope to enter another games jam very soon, so make sure you follow me to know more.
The winners of the Construct2 TouchJam have been announced both on Newgrounds and Scirra!
Unfortunately, I did not win, but I’d like to give my congratulation to the winners, as well as other entries that I enjoyed playing. I also like to say thanks to Tom Fulp for dedicating himself to write opinions for every single entry and organising the competition along with the rest of the Newgrounds Team and Scirra.
Hey everyone!
Just finalised the paperwork for the Games Jam tomorrow. Can’t wait to see how many people turn up and what games will be made!
Also BOOM has its own page on the site, which you can check out here.
If you are interested in developing for Windows 8, make sure to check out www.windowsgamesambassadors.co.uk.
Not only is it the official website for the Windows Games Ambassadors, where you can find updates on what ambassadors like me are up to, but it is also a great starting point for finding all information on what you can use to make Windows 8 games, as well as how to implement Windows 8 Application features and services like Azure!
Yes, you heard it. I am running a Games Jam for students at Staffordshire University, taking place on Stafford Campus. Students will be working solo or in teams to make fun and short games made for Windows platforms, and the two best games will win either a Windows Phone 8 or a Microsoft Kinect for Windows! Games will be made using easily available game development tools such as MonoGame, Unity, Construct2 and Game Maker Studio, or for the more tech savvy, can be made using pure code to run on Windows 8/Phone 8 via HTML5 or C#, and can use the free platform starter kit to get them going.
Information on the Jam is on the Official Facebook Events Page.
Hey guys, I decided to make a quick update to my Game of Life game! It’s currently on the Windows 8 store, thanks to MonoGame for the easy porting process, and I’m currently working on a Windows version for none Windows 8 users.
As you can tell, I’ve simplified the interface, and the Windows 8 version also includes touch controls for drawing and buttons. The keyboard commands still work (Z, X, C and Space) as well as mouse controls.
I’ve also made it possible to change the orientation and resolution, and therefore, change the size of the grid as well. In the regular Windows version I’ll probably change this feature so you can resize the Window, since you aren’t forced into fullscreen.
Check out the Windows 8 store version here!
