Week Twenty - Last week!
Deep in the throws of the 12 days of Xmas, I continued to post one game each day up until last Tuesday!  Hurray!  12 games in only 2 weeks!

Week Twenty One - This week!
Since I've managed 12 games in 2 weeks, I decided to take it easy, somewhat, this week.
I've used most of this week to grow accustomed to using BlitzMax as opposed to Blitz3D.

I've taken the time to build a nice new entire Framework that my games can exist in, and am currently up to the "What will all the titlescreens look like" part of my new framework building.

Plenty more to do, but it's getting there.
I also now have the option to build in Linux (Ubuntu installed, and raring to go) and also on Mac. .. Although I'd need to build a Mac to let me do that, and I'm in no monetary position to do it.  So.. Those'll just all have to wait!!

Next week, I'll be back to normal, and building my first game in BlitzMax!

Hurray!!

Week Twenty One : Result
After spending what seems like ages working on the whole new framework, I'm finally posting a test.
Give it a whirl, and let me know what happens!

Munky Train 2 : Munky Tests his Engine


Windows Download
LINUX DOWNLOAD!!

Let me know how things go!

[Jayenkai]

Oops!

Week Twenty Four
After having 100 flu's this year, so far, I've finally managed to pick myself up enough to get some game making done.
*phew*

This week, a remake of a classic. (*classic Jayenkai game!)

Centipong 2 : Gentler, Calmer, Crazier



Nice and easy.
Hit the ball against the centipedes, keep the pods flying, and smash up as much as you can.
Weeeeee!! Bouncy!!!

Windows : 3Mb
Linux : 3Mb
(Hopefully the Linux one works.  Let me know!)

[Draknek]

Works for me in Ubuntu. Fun idea!

The fullscreen option didn't work, and nor did alt-F4 or the window's close button to quit. Minor things though.

[Jayenkai]

Yeah, fullscreen's being a git in linux, not really sure how to solve that!  Glad to know it at least half-works, though!

[Jayenkai]

Week Twenty Five
Added Alt+F4 and CloseButton!

Box's Adventure (aka BadgeBox)


A nice randomly generated maze, a bunch of random gems, some random badges and a whole swarm of random enemy.
Collect all the badges, then head for the exit.
Nice and simple gameplay!

Windows
Linux

Week Twenty Six
Today is my 30th birthday.
I've wasted about 20 years making piddly little games, and am in no rush to quit doing it now!

This week, two parts, sort of lazily, but also very much a complicated task!

Box's Adventure, Part Two
I've expanded last week's game by a boatload, adding new features all over the place.
You can read all about that here.

and
Jay's BlitzMax Framework
If you're not too scared of 1980's style programming, and already use BlitzMax to get things done, here's the basic framework that I'll be using in the immediate future.
It is very old-skool coding, although it does give you a little insight into my coding style.
Be very afraid!

Week Thirty Six

Ten weeks later, and a whole lot of fun-stuff has happened.
First, I spent a month doing little Mario themed games for MAR.10.  You can view these in this thread. There's four of 'em, and they're all equally as fun as each other.

If March was about Mario, then April had to be Platdude's month.  Taking one single game and spanning a series of gradual releases over the course of the month, I was able to come up with a lovely big Platdude game.
That one's over here.

With two themed months gone, it's time to get back into the regular weekly random junkpile of oddball games.
Hurray!


Gravity Bombs


Shoot the gravity holes with bombs, so they go Kablooweee, and shoot all the little bits that go all swirly and whooshy!
weee!!!

Downloadable here.

Week Thirty Seven
Last week I bought WarioWare DIY, (friend code here) and one of my first minigames was a little UFO flying across the screen and dodging a couple of spikes.

I then wondered what that might turn out like if I redid it properly.

UFO 246
Blimey!!


Downloadable for Win+Lin here.

Week Thirty Eight
It's MacWeek over at AGameAWeek, meaning I finally took the plunge and bought myself one of those little MacMiniDoohickeys.
I'm now in a position whereby all three systems (Win/Lin/Mac) have annoyingly different keyboard combinations, and I cannot for the life of me get the mouse speed the same on any of them!
God, that's frustrating!!


MacWeek
No new game this week, but I have uploaded TEN of the games that I've made in BlitzMax, recompiled especially for Mac. (Although they're Intel only, I'm afraid!)

I also updated JNKPlat, which now has over 130 levels, and Gravity Bombs, which feels a little more like a game, but even more like a big swirly artsy thing!

10 Brand spanking new freeware games for Mac!

Week Thirty Nine
Last week, I made a penis game!!!

Week Fourty
This week, I made a game that turned out a bit rubbish.
But it's Amiga themed..  Does that help?

Boing Again


Guide the Boing ball to collect all the ticks, whilst avoiding itself.
A nice idea that went kinda dull somewhere.  Bah.

Grabbable from The Jay Archive for Win, Lin and Mac..

[Anachronation]

Ha.  That ones rubbish. I think you need a brake or something.

[Jayenkai]

I'm definitely starting to run out of ideas, aren't I!!
No matter.  Hopefully thing week's should be better.

[Jayenkai]

Whoops, haven't been updating this.
Probably got put off by someone.
...

Anyhoo..

Here's the result

*phew*

Rest time...
