Y5:W23 – Kee, Bo and Ard Makes Three

Another week, another sequel.
This week, we’re revisiting the puzzle-maze world of Kee, Bo and Ard (Occasionally spelled “Key, Bo and Ard” due to me forgetting the spelling of the green character’s name!)

I also need a couple of features tested, so there’s quite a bit of rambling included below this post!

Forward Planning, or not..

Although I am sort of planning things ahead of time, I’m not really doing a good job with the things I’m planning.
In the majority of cases, the better AGameAWeek games seem to be those spur of the moment games that I cobble together fairly quickly.
Anything over-planned seems to die a death, halfway through!

At the start of May, I planned to do two fairly large projects.
Both of those projects have remained untouched for at least a couple of weeks.
Whoops!

AGameAWeek Gold – JNKPlat

AGameAWeek Gold is our daily trawl through the Jayenkai Archives, to dig out any games that might have been released, on this day in history.

For the most part, there’s some real stinkers in amongst this lot.

But every so often, we’ll come across a real gem.

AGameAWeek Gold – Unicorns!

AGameAWeek Gold looks back through my archive, digging out any and all games that I’ve previously released on this day in history.

Occasionally the games are absolute garbage.

Sometimes, they’re fantastic.

And then..
Other times..
There are UNICORNS!!!

Y5:W22 – MLG : Microscopic Lifeform Genocide

A remake, this week, of a popular old game, but one which appears to have lost it’s powerups along the way.
The game plays well enough, but it feels somewhat lacking.
Perhaps a little community-driven inspiration might help bulk it back up again?

AGameAWeek Gold – Stringy Things

AGameAWeek Gold takes a trip through my archive of games, and plucks out any games that may have been previously released on this day in history.

Sometimes it finds recent games from the past few years of me doing AGameAWeek.

Other times, however, it finds really really really old games, from a time when the concept of doing a new game every week wasn’t even a gleam in my eye!

AGameAWeek Gold – Mario’s Penis Extension.. !?

AGameAWeek Gold is a daily trip through the Jayenkai Archive, to see if I’ve previously released any games on this day in history.

Sometimes the day is uneventful. Not even I have managed enough to pad out every single day of the year!
Oddly, though, other days contain more than one game.

And today’s one of those days!

Unexpected Desktop of the Moment

During a moment of boredom, I wondered how long it’d take to remake my lovely Testcard Generator.
I attempted it in Monkey, and realised it wouldn’t work very well given that I can’t save an image.
Then I tried it in BlitzMax, but that wouldn’t allow me to work with images bigger than the desktop. (My Laptop is 1366×768, and I wanted at least 1920×1080)
In the end I opted for Blitz3D.
Blitz3D lets me work in practically any resolution I can imagine, while scaling it nicely to fit on my screen.
Lovely stuff!!

So, a couple (5!?) of hours later, I’d fashioned a nice looking Testcard Generator, and slapped Idigidragon into the middle of it.

…Why not!!
