The number of times I’ve tried to start a YouTube channel, or blog, or site, or whatever is too many to count. The problem I always have is this crazy idea that I need to stick to a single topic when the reality is that pretty much all of us have varied interests and hobbies and things that we devote our time and energy to. So that’s what I’m going to do here. Whatever I’m working on and interested in, it goes on the site. And maybe on the youtube channel if I ever make a video outside of competition entry videos.
[Read More]Rock Monster Rush 2.0 is coming for Meta's Elevate Your Mobile World competition
Yes it’s true, Meta is doing another competition. And after having some luck in the last one with It’s a Blast! I’m joining in.
The rules are that you have to take an existing mobile world and elevate it. Bring on the progression systems, and reasons to share, etc. Unfortunately, I only have two mobile worlds I’ve made, and It’s a Blast! doesn’t really fit with the progression system goals. And so, it’s time to make some updates to Rock Monster Rush, the very first competition entry I made (that sadly, despite getting some praise from fellow creators, got no love in the competition, or afterward for that matter).

I’m currently working with redacted on a NES project, which includes a small minigame collection. As such I’ve gone ahead and posted the base wrapper and a really stupid sample (I need to get an actual sample minigame written!) over on github.
It makes it super easy however to make a small NES game so if anyone’s interested, here it is:

More updates here to come as I flesh it out more. And I NEED to find a super simple tile/map editor I can share with people that will play nicely with this.
[Read More]It's A Blast!
This was my submission to the Meta Horizon Worlds Mobile Genre Showdown. It’s a pretty direct / blatant homage to one of my favorite party games ever. Time will tell if it hits at all, but it definitely feels like a better fit for the platform that my last entry (Rock Monster Rush, I should add a post about that).

The rather questionable YouTube video showing it is here:
