A new game on the horizon

Progress on Contention and Switch HD (latest tentative title) has halted temporarily.

I decided to make a loose remake on a old game. It's called Birdy and the original version dates back to September 2005. This game is basically just a test to see how long it takes to make a relatively simple, but complete game.

Sporting some retro graphics, sound and music, this game is designed to look like it's straight out of the early days of games.

I've managed to program this game fairly quickly, no doubt all due to my new organization technique. Nearly every part of this game was planned in advance in a 6-page outline. Practically all that remains is level design. I have 8 levels made so far, I plan to have 20-30.

Portfolio Redesign

I have recently redesigned my portfolio website.

The aim of my portfolio website is to display my work, so I'm trying to keep the website's design relatively non-distracting.

In the coming weeks I will be adding some more flash examples.

Switch 2 the eXtreme

It's about time I showed you what Switch 2 is looking like:

No power-ups yet, as you can see, but what you can't see is that there is some nice fading of the tiles as you switch colours; a nice visual clue that you need to avoid a different colour now.

Switch 2 the eXtreme is not going to be the title of Switch 2, but I'm still working on that. Doubtless I will have to roll with either Switch 2, or just plain old Switch.

Let there be light!

Recently I've been working on my portfolio site, but there has been some good progress on my 3D game. As you can see above, I've added stars, debri, and windscreens.

Switch 2, however, is a different story entirely.
