– My #LD24 “Evolution” Entry – A tribute to David McCallum & Bishop from Aliens. It’s a stab around the hand avoider game with a wee twist – every time you complete a circuit of your hand uninjured you ‘Level Up’. It’s pretty easy for the first few passes (you can just stay completely still) – but then It get so HARD MOMMA.
I Was going to do the idea below but with a whole 4-5 hours at my disposal this weekend I don’t think I would’ve got much further than doing some nice pictures for it. The Hand won, hands down.
Here’s my page to prove I entered – My current coolness rating is ZERO :P
Quite fancy entering this one myself – but knowing how bank holiday weekends play out I’ll end up making another whack-a-mole derivative. SOOoo here’s a set of evolution themed sprite sheets that I made waaay back for a ‘desktop-cartoon’ when I worked at the mighty no defunct messagemates.com.
–And if you DARE download an .exe file which will set your ANTI-VIRUS FLASHING – here is the original .exe file which played out the little cartoon on your desktop – ( to this day I still don’t know why these things send spyware filters off – I thought we were totally legit ! )
Finally if you’re short of a LD48 evolution idea feel free to have a crack at this one – If you do I will spend saturday night drawing you a TINY MONKEY DAVE BOWMAN
Yup this is finished now save for one REALLY ANNOYING BUG where you get bumrushed by a zombeh from behind *will fix* Also is scaling badly for some reason :C
Crank up the mic to 11 and start rambling about what is behind you on the screen ! It’s *EASY*
Thanks to everyone who turned up to the talk – I love you all like I love doughnuts xxx
Have just tag-paged the Film Ones – they’re almost ALL GOOD – I think no. 288 – “Kokotoni Wilf 2:Wings of Frustration” might be my own personal favourite.
And so the final post from “Das Game Toilet” – 500 dumb ideas should be enough for anybody right ? Massive thanks for all the retweeting & general enthusiasm, I wouldn’t have got past 50 if otherwise.
Next Up – TIME TO START MAKING THESE FECKING GAMES !
Check back from time to time as I’ll no doubt post silly gaming shit here when the mood grabs, as well as sketches and whatnot from the weird illustrated story book I’ve been threatening to make since I had kids.
(Also gt#450 – which I never got round to drawing – what ever happened to that one ?)
Choose something from the form below – or Add Something (using ‘other’ and i’ll add it ) that will make the #500 the single most incredible powerpoint slide unveiled in the UK this year !
Every month, as part of the regular monthly meetings of the Austin, TX independent game community JUEGOS RANCHEROS, we do a very casual & chatty rundown of the ten or so games from the previous month — both local and global, and both indie and occasionally a bit-bigger-budget — for the audience, to give people — especially those curious onlookers from outside the indie community itself — a look at what they may have missed.
In keeping with the tongue-in-tobacco-packed-cheek tone, we call these run-downs A Fistful of Indies, which are be presented here on Venus Patrol for your reference, each fully-annotated, -linked, and off-the-cuff blurbed, in addition to their home on the JUEGOS RANCHEROS site.
