About AGameAWeek


Every Tuesday morning, 10:30 GMT (or thereabouts, later if I sleep in!) I post a brand new game, right here on the site.
Or at least, I try to. Sometimes life gets in the way! But most of the time, there's going to be something here.

Each game is 100% coded by me, 95% of the graphics are done by me (with rare dips into the Google Image archive when I'm absolutely dry) and 95% of the audio is also done by me (with rare dips into the Aminet archive for the odd bit of music when I'm not in a composing mood!)

Sometimes they'll be in Blitzmax, ready to be played on Windows, Linux and Mac.
Occasionally they'll be created as Nintendo DS Homebrew.
And on very rare occasions, I'll try playing with something else entirely!
Meanwhile, there's already 200 games, and there'll be plenty more, each and every Tuesday.


The Torrent : Year 2

2 September, 2010 (23:17) | Coding | By: Jayenkai

This year, the Big Torrent is available from Monova.org!

If you’d like to play 53 out of 54 from Year 2, you can go grab it now.
I left out Rock My Chords, since it’s 49Mb on it’s own, and I reckon it’s got an audience of…. me!
But otherwise, the rest are in there.
All the Windows games, the DS ones and the one single little Java Mobile one, too.

What I’ve NOT included is the Mac/Linux packs.
I’ll be doing those later.

Judging by the interest in the current pack, they’ll be super popular, too.

ho-hum

Writeup later!

This Week…

28 August, 2010 (04:12) | Coding | By: Jayenkai

This weekend I’m planning on doing a nice big happy writeup about Year 2.
I’ll be hopping through and replaying all my year’s games, and jotting down little should/shouldn’t's about each one. I might even take the time to record a few seconds of each and then build up a nice big Year-2 Video.
That’d be nice!!

Meanwhile, I can’t sit still, and have already begun a new’ish game.

24 August, 2010 (03:34) | Release | By: Jayenkai

Fred is a happy Flea, and he loves to hop.
He especially loves it when all the Dandelions are casting their seeds around in the air, as he can grab on, and go for a ride.

Cardagain DS!

22 August, 2010 (06:17) | Release | By: Jayenkai

As promised, here’s a quickly bundled together edition of Cardagain DS.
I’m not sure if folk’ll play it, since nobody seems to play it, so I haven’t spent a lot of time on it.
It’s the absolute basics that are needed.

How to sell an extra copy of your magazine..

18 August, 2010 (04:59) | Coding | By: Jayenkai

Step 1.
Place an indie game into a copy of your magazine.

Step 2.
TELL THE DEVELOPER!

Step 3.
Profit

In this case, Webuser failed to tell me that NeonPlat2 was in their July 15th 2010 issue.
As such, I haven’t bought it.

They 100% lost a sale, because had I known I was in it, I would’ve damn well bought it.
I have three other copies of WebUser in my “Black box filled with magazines that my games are in”
But now I’m missing this one.

FFS, journalists!!
