The next game will be out on April 30th, or earlier if I can help it. I’ve switched to and from a couple of different ideas, but I have one that I like now. I’ll see if I can post a couple of screenshots in the coming weeks.
Today, I have invaded Pakistan and installed a puppet regeme. After applying intense diplomatic pressure, the new government agreed to catch Osama bin Laden, who has been hiding out in the mountains. Success! Shortly thereafter, China invaded the Scarborough Shoal and Congress passed a resolution to reprimand me for my neglect. Things got so bad [...]
I was brainstorming game ideas today and I came up with some really good ones. In fact, I’m more excited about them than the current game. It’s never a good idea to work on a project that your heart isn’t in, so I’m switching gears to the new game. Fortunately, the space combat game was [...]
Where Circuit Breaker was the hardest project that I worked on, Pandora’s Gearbox was the longest. This is due to factors that I’ll discuss below. The game is probably the most popular of anything that I’ve ever made, so the work seems to have paid off. Still, I think that I could have done things [...]
The Pandora bonanza is behind us now; it was fun while it lasted. It’s time to look to the future and plan the next game. This one will be a bit different than the one before. I’m making a space combat game inspired by 18th century naval warfare. The planned release date is the morning [...]
I’ve released an updated version of Pandora’s Gearbox. You should see “Version 1.1″ in the lower right of the menu now. DOWNLOAD HERE Here are the changes: Fixed a graphical issue with low-end graphics cards Small robot control enhancements Changed Level 1 to make things a bit more obvious Changed Level 2 to eliminate a [...]
Pandora’s Gearbox is finished! It’s a puzzle game where you have to get a ball through a mystery machine. You can’t see inside the machine, so you have to explore it with a remote-controlled robot. DOWNLOAD HERE I’ve spent the last few hours adding a tutorial mode to the first level, so you should be [...]
The new game – Pandora’s Gearbox will definitely be released today. I still need to tweak a few things, so it will probably be late in the evening. Here’s a screenshot to get your appetite going:
The game is coming along splendidly. Now that I can actually make levels, I have much more motivation to work on things. I’m going to include 10 levels with the base game. I was hoping to do about 2-3 levels per day, but that proved to be wildly optimistic. The farther I progress, the longer [...]
I’m feeling rather silly at this point. The good news is that I was able to playtest some of the game levels today with friends. There are some problems; mixed responses. In other words, there’s more work to be done. About 30% of the levels are finished and I’ve yet to do the art, sounds [...]
