The sun is out, and lately all I can think about is sitting in a pub or cafe and making sweet sweet games!

Time for jam revival? 

/bumping old topic as it has some relevant discussion.

The sun may be out but it's still damn cold 

Well, wasn't sure if this is the right place to post, but I guess it's an announcement for those who use or who are familiar with MMF2   And I'm kinda excited about it.

Yves over at Clickteam has recently (within the past hour) released the flash runtime for Multimedia Fusion 2. The price seems quite reasonable and it will be interesting to see where things go from here I guess, in terms of seeing click-flash games becoming noticed.

Anyway, more info can be found on the following link:

Edit: Actually this may want to be moved to general chat or indie games section?

Coney Island Waltz from Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest musical. Kinda creepy and inspiring

It would be a lot more fun if it looked nice 

Pretty cool, got a little hooked on it Kinda annoying when the app loses focus and the sheep just keep walking though 

Yeah but it reminded me of a certain character he had set as an avatar somewhere, blown up pixels and wobbling slightly.

Did you make im9today an avatar once? 

Clown and Chef 

Raccoon

Awesome version 

perhaps make the tail of the bookmark swing a little with overlap after the book has opened so quickly?

Granted, it's a form of art, and yes of course all video games are a form of art.

But I draw the line when something that looks like it could be made in a night (or probably less) with poor graphics and gameplay is excused because(to quote wiki):

"The game lasts exactly five minutes long, and focuses on life, mortality and the costs and benefits of marriage."

I don't think Ive ever heard such waffle. If we're supposed to look that deep and come up with such ridiculous conclusions, he may aswell give us a blank screen to look at so we can imagine it without having to look at the graphics.

There are people in the community who try so much harder and put so much more effort and time into making games or coming up with unique ideas, yet certain artists blaggers become substantially more recognised by trying to rebel by being the indie game's answer to Tracey Emin. Although, to be fair, she can actually draw in the first place

"The reason I thought Passage was "deep", was the fact that it could be interpreted on many different levels"

Like any other game can be.

These kind of "games" remind me of the people who weren't very good at the practical side of my university course, but got higher grades than everyone else because they had the capability to blag their way out of it in the final dissertation essays, waffling about a load of crap and churning out excuses as to why their work should be accepted.

Love those little blue and green sprites 

haha!

 

saw screens for this the past couple of days but only just realised what it was about having seen the video Must say, looks pretty darn cool  

 
Would love to see a nicer background than the simple gradient though, like a faded doodle of a garden or mansion gardens or something

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers -Zu Ambush

Such an exciting sounding piece, love it at 0.50 onwards

That's it for me game-wise at the moment

Wow that looks awesome Reminds me of this era:

Don't get me wrong, Ive thoroughly enjoyed the game till this point. No doubt Ill continue to afterwards.

Anyway, back on topic, my setup (nothing out of the ordinary o.O)

Perhaps she's a conehead
