First and foremost, it’s a new year. Can’t complain yet. Which given we’re 2 days in doesn’t say much, but let’s be honest… there’s certainly been years in the not-too-distant past where 2 days in I was already sick of it.
I’m not going to do a bunch of the typical New Year, New Me stuff, or resolutions or any of that. So instead, here’s just some brief updates…
[Read More]It’s been mentioned briefly before, but I’m just about ready to reveal the full details for the big It’s a Blast! update. The initial release (and few small updates following that release) came from a hackathon. It was fun and crazy, but didn’t really allow the time to flesh everything out fully. This big revamp update will take this game from a fun competition entry, into its first “full” release. But if this isn’t the full announcement, then what’s the point of this post? Is it just the announcement of an announcement? Not quite. Here, we’ll talk about what’s coming. Next up will be posts covering the specifics for these improvements, with a release date announcement as soon as it’s locked down.
[Read More]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).
[Read More]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).
