A more accurate title would be “Just like Windows Vista, here’s a list of things I told you I’d be putting in, but haven’t yet bothered to, so will be missing when I release the game..” Except I’m one person, and have spent four weeks doing this.. Not 100 people working for 4 years… … [...]

Sometimes Copy and Paste works.. Having finally put the nice simple swooshy spawning sound back into the game, and got a couple of nice test levels up and running, and inside the scoreboard, and then got the whole “Nth position on the online scoreboard” display going, I decided to move onto more pressing matters. I [...]

In the old game you could create levels simply by making little 64×64 pixel .png images. The game would load them as it found them, and convert them to levels on the fly. This was handy, but it didn’t let you control all the possibilities of spawning, weapon types, and things like that.. This new [...]

Now I remember why the original Alien Deathmatch did this, too! If I check a directory for files (level directory!) to compile my list of levels, and then add a level in there (Downloaded) and then recheck the directory to make a new list of levels, Blitz has managed to keep a cache of the [...]

I’m now working on getting the whole upload/download thing working again. Shouldn’t take too long, but I think I’ll have to [...]

I’m not ignoring it!!! I woke up late, today, and time seemed to slip away fairly rapidly.. I spent about an hour browsing online shops, buying a cheap copy of Sonic Unleashed for only £20 (Gamestation) and an el’cheapo Digital Photoframe (£30 Aria.co.uk), and then surprisingly it was time to settle down, eat, and then [...]

I didn’t get time to fix this up properly last night, or this morning, either.. Blame Alien Deathmatch! So, this week’s game is exactly as it was yesterday, when posted over at Socoder. Wednesday Workshop #180 asked us to create a Darts game, so here’s a quickly made one. A target is written on the [...]

Folk who previously visited my DSBrew site will now find themselves plonked into this site. This is AGameAWeek, and here I write a game a week! Just as it says! I opened up my own little DSBrew site a while back, and started cataloguing DS games, but soon realised that keeping a DS Homebrew catalogue [...]
