Been working on an in game manual...

In game manual... not that my game needed it :p

Global Defense Corps got featured in Kotaku

I'll be finishing work on Jack B. Nimble very soon... I'm basically down to just needing to code and test achievements 

Latest update from: http://noonan.design/update/end-month-update-september/

I know, Jack B. Nimble is not out. I’m working on it! So just a quick update for now…

There have been multiple reasons for the delays, but mostly because I want to do this right. There’s no such thing as a perfect game. You could work on a game forever and never be satisfied – I am aware of this – I just want to get as close as I can to achieving a polished product. You know, something I can be proud of.

As I’ve stated in the past, I don’t expect great riches from this project. I have shipped many games over the years with varying levels of contribution. But this game (with the exception of music) is entirely built by me. My intentions are of vanity. I want to be able to look back at this game with pride and to define what a Noonan.Design game is.

In other news I did the GBJAM last weekend and created Global Defense Corps - you can see a timelapse of my development below...

Hey man i just need to say that I remember GIF's from your game that you've posted even one year ago. You've skilled up, good work. I see many little details. +

Thanks! That means a lot. I guess most people just move on to other games once they're done, and improve on those... I just keep updating the same one :D

This weekend I worked on a #GBJAM game called Global Defense Corps

Tried doing a timelapse... I didn't have the capture rate low enough and I seemed to have only recorded a few bits... anyway:

Jill's sprite has been bothering me for a while...


I think I fixed it:


Matches the portrait picture much better now.

Fixed it:


I promise I'm still working on finishing the game

It's Jack's birthday - 2 whole years since the first iOS release!



The next update is coming along great - more footage soon

I've not been keeping on top of this... so here are a bunch of gifs









I've also been streaming my progress on twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/sean_noonan

And archiving streams here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLewv7LqmicX7IzNROXQUQKCnaYJiIB9ua

Almost done with the last level now...

Not sure this needed a tutorial, but...

Humans are hard...

Edit: I know it's a Parasol :D

Latest devlog is now available!




...and hello, kcbanner!
This latest version isn't available yet (but soooooon)!

As for getting the word out, your guess is as good as mine. I find making gifs helps get your game at least seen by people, you can share them on facebook, twitter and reddit (though I've had very little luck on reddit).

I too have found code giveaways to be pretty rough. I have found that if people are interested in the game, they'd buy it, people who scour the web for giveaways aren't really that interested in the games they grab...

I'll check your game out tonight

Because even devlogs take time, I've decided to start streaming my progress - I'm live (and tired) now!

New video devlog coming soon!

Almost done :p

Not sure if my Ludum Dare game exists (working long distance) but I did the art for it :D

It's weird making things with more than 4 colours...

Messing about with an old gamejam game...
