http://jayenkai.socoder.net A new game from Jayenkai, every week! (or thereabouts..) Thu, 18 Mar 2010 11:04:28 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Yesterday I mistakenly posted last week’s game. Today I post this weeks! NMcCoy’s been working on AGameAWeek of his own, for the past 8 weeks. Lately he’s stumbled upon a bigger idea which is taking a while, but is still managing to throw out smaller games, to keep up his ratio. That’s the way to do it!! Go McCoy! You can [...]]]> http://jayenkai.socoder.net/2010/03/nmccoys-agameaweek-8-redivider/ August 26th 2009 That’s the last time I did a Mailbag post! Blinkin’ eck! Over the past 6/7 months, I’ve occasionally dipped into the mailbag and plucked out little snippets, but I figured it was about time I did a proper one. A few of these have already been posted, but there’s a whole batch of new ideas here. Let’s [...]]]> http://jayenkai.socoder.net/2010/03/mailbag/ I’ve been meaning to start mentioning McCoy’s AGameAWeek games for a few weeks, now, but am usually too busy on a Wednesday to think about it. D’oh!! No matter… Today I’m at work, and have incredibly managed to remember, so here’s this weeks. Avoid Spikes is one of those “uhoh!” games that regulars here will [...]]]> http://jayenkai.socoder.net/2010/03/mccoys-games-7-avoid-spikes/ A great little platformer, this week, albeit one without an end! Well, there is an end, but I’m not 100% sure anyone will reach it. Having said that, I’m probably not the world’s best person to ask about that. I suck at playing! Anyhoo… Indeed! Directions and Jump are all you’ll be needing. Roam around the level, grab [...]]]> http://jayenkai.socoder.net/2010/03/y2w29-munky-in-a-mario-costume/ On Tuesday I’ll be posting the last of my planned Mar10 games, and it’s going to be a wild ride to see what oddities appear for the next couple of weeks. After that I’ve got the whole JNKPlat10 to do, but that’ll probably be more of a background thing. In the meantime, I’d like your game ideas, [...]]]> http://jayenkai.socoder.net/2010/03/dont-forget-the-suggestion-box/ As most of you know, I’m a bit crap at designing levels. I tend to leave that kind of thing to random generators, or other people! Today I’m designing a level, and it’s taking AGES! It’s already 10 o’clock, I’ve been at it for about 2 hours, and I’ve managed to make about 1/8th of a [...]]]> http://jayenkai.socoder.net/2010/03/munky-taking-ages/ I’ve got the basics down, and am now working on getting a nice big level to play. At first I was going to build a bunch of levels.. But.. um.. Time is of the essence, and all! This little screen resembles about 1% of the total level area, and it’s proving a wee bit tricky [...]]]> http://jayenkai.socoder.net/2010/03/this-week-15/ It’s already the fourth day of making Munky Mario, and yet I’ve hardly got anything going. Yikes! Munky runs and jumps and falls around the level, but there are no real obstacles or other gameplay elements yet. Lots to do, and with the realisation that Sunday is Mother’s Day, I’ve one day less to get it [...]]]> http://jayenkai.socoder.net/2010/03/my-what-a-complicated-munky/ This week, Munky in a Mario Costume. Next week, possibly Blockman in a Mario Costume. Third week, I should probably do Greenie in a Mario Costume, but that’s more ‘cos he’d look funny, than for any gameplay reasons! That brings us to April, and with my head spinning with ideas about “The BIG JNKPlat game”, I’m [...]]]> http://jayenkai.socoder.net/2010/03/three-steps-ahead/ Ever since I came up with this whole MAR10 Costume idea, I’ve had three games in mind. 1. Ted Bob was a great game, and needed an update. By making it More Mario, I could easily add extra bits into the mix. Job done, turned out nicely. 2. “Monsters Upside Your Head” played bizarrely, but nicely! [...]]]> http://jayenkai.socoder.net/2010/03/today-i-draw-a-munky/
