Time Gal VS. Time Gal, 1993/95

Wow. I really don’t get this design choice, considering the entire game is anime… That first box is entirely misrepresenting the game!

Why do we need feminism, you ask?

Who… who an earth is entering these terms into Google?
I don’t even mean like “who has such a backwards opinion that they’d think such a thing”, I mean why an earth would you literally search that? They’re not questions, they’re not a thing you search for, they’re random statements.

Are people just angrily venting to Google? Are they trying to have some sort of discourse with it?

“Ugh, you wouldn’t believe the day I’ve had, Google. Fuckin’ women and their equal rights and shit. If you ask me, women shouldn’t have rights!”

“Yeeah man, we’re totally on the same page! At least you get me, Google. Thanks for being there for me, buddy!”

breadbros:

The Evil Lab of Evil, at the end of the first day of arting. Needs shading on the walls and glass tubes, for sure.

Pixel friends!

1. How should I best shade them to get across “Hey, I’m a wall!”

2. Any other general feedback on the tileset?

1. Make the walls a bit darker than they are now. Also, add a shadow casting from them onto the ground of something. But mainly the contrast.

2. It’s very bright and clean for an evil lab of doom, needs to be darker in general. The floor colour feels like it should be rusty, but I feel the colour isn’t quite rust-like enough. Also, things should be a bit more dirty/textured in general.

Note: I’m no expert in pixel art, but do have knowledge of and an interest in visual design. Do what you will with my comments. :P

The Rebirth of Sully Chronicles

The Rebirth of Sully Chronicles:

Do you know the RPG engine Verge? Yes?

How about Sully Chronicles? That was fun, right?

Have a look at this, then. Even if you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about. It’ll be worthwhile. I mean goshdarn.

It's been 5 months since my last post.

Fri, 05 Oct 2012 07:33:14 -0400

Haha.

Not sure what happened to Sir Boingers. I suppose I lost my drive for a while, even though it’s a project I want to see finished someday.

For now, though, I’m actually getting the school’s time and resources to be able to work on a new game. So it’s one that will be finished. It’s a language learning game - but don’t worry! I’m a gamer at heart so I definitely want to make this a lot of fun.

Sir Boingers v2.0

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 12:58:58 -0500

I’ve been working on improving one of Tengu’s smaller games, Sir Boingers, to create a much enhanced version 2.0. It’s coming along nicely.

Switched game engines

Sat, 24 Dec 2011 11:53:02 -0500

Ugh. I can’t do HTML5 well right now. It’s draining my productivity. Switching back to a different game engine, Sphere 2, for the next little game, at least to properly get back into the game.

Next game is going to be Game Boy-styled, by the way. :)

Oh man look at me I am updating it so much

No, but seriously, now. I bookmarked Tumblr in a spot I check every day. No more of this laziness! I have enough to tell you. Occasionally.

So someone asked me for advice on her video game idea. (Never expected that!) I’ve been writing an answer to her for almost two hours now. Crazy, I know. Her idea is interesting, but difficult to do right. And it really got me thinking a lot and I came up with all kinds of ideas, some of them pretty crazy. No, I’m not just gonna share them here. ;)

Ugh. Found some problem with Gamelib’s resource loading system - it won’t load images or sounds at all anymore. I’m going to fix it in 0.5.

Games are a bit bland if you can’t use sounds of graphics. :P

Edit: aaand it’s fixed. It was a rather stupid mistake I made.

Userscript: Better HTML5 YouTube

Sun, 14 Aug 2011 08:53:46 -0400

This is a userscript I have written for everyone who uses YouTube’s HTML5-based player.

It basically enhances the player by adding a lot of useful keyboard shortcuts, and a few features like automatically fullscreening the video or pausing it on page load. It also has a little informational overlay indicating what keys you are pressing and what they do.

Check it out if you want a better HTML5 YouTube experience.

HTML5 Gamelib v0.4 release

Sat, 13 Aug 2011 21:10:00 -0400

I released version 0.4 of the game engine, which changed a decent amount of stuff, I think.

Changelog:

The canvas is now created inside the script itself (canvas resolution can be passed to Gamelib.init()).
Moved all functions and variables into the Gamelib “namespace” (just an object holding it all).
Renamed Main() to Gamelib.init().
Added Gamelib.State.onstart() which runs only once: when starting the state.
A state’s update method is no longer mandatory (but not recommended).
Added testing/template page.
Moved debug panel to a (hopefully) more convenient spot.

Download here.

Want computer game music samples? Here you go.:

These are some of the samples and soundfonts that I have collected over the years, some of which I started hosting on my own website. Hope they’ll come in useful if you’re looking for specific samples.

HTML5 game engine

Sat, 13 Aug 2011 17:20:35 -0400

I am making a very minimalistic game engine in HTML5.

https://github.com/DaVince/Tengu-GameLib

Currently in heavy development. The next version will have a revised API that makes things a bit easier and more flexible to use.

Hi.

Sat, 06 Aug 2011 09:04:01 -0400

I registered to follow someone on Tumblr, really. But now that I’m here I might as well talk about the game I’m developing.

It’s HTML5-based.
It’s 2D.
I was inspired by Minecraft when I thought it up (but it is not Minecraft, duh).
I’m totally not working on it enough at the moment.

And that’s it, I guess.
