ADROIT Is Out Today!

ADROIT is an endless vertical runner where the player has to dodge spikes at high speeds. Scrape along the sides, squeeze between spikes and dodge spikes at the last millisecond.

ADROIT is out today! I have been working on ADROIT for the past couple of weeks, whilst also continuing to work on Nameless. ADROIT is the first ever game I have made from beginning to completion. It is a casual game released for the Android platform. It is available to download from Google Play and Amazon Appstore. You can find screenshots, videos and press kits on the official ADROIT page. Did I mention it was free?

ADROIT is also my game for July 2014 for One Game A Month

Nameless Development Log 03

This is the third development log update on my Nameless game. In this video I talk about all the updates since my last development log video. This includes the change in the game direction, change of art style, and what I am working on now for the game. I also state the release window for the game (it is not any time soon).

If you got any questions, feedback or ideas about the game then leave a comment or hit me up on Twitter.

Low Rez Jam 2014

Pixel Tournament 2014 Logo

This month was Low Rez Jam 2014 where the goal was to create a game with a maximum screen resolution of 32×32 pixels. The game could be about anything so the only limitation was my mind. I decided to create a game called Pixel Tournament 2014.

Raspberry Pi Camera Timelapse

So I bought a Raspberry Pi camera module couple of weeks back and created some time-lapses of my garden in the back. The video above shows you one of the time-lapses I captured via the Raspberry Pi camera. I thought this was going to be fairly difficult but it turned out to be simple. So in this post I will tell you how to create your own time-lapse using your Raspberry Pi (this post will most likely be useful for other beginners like me).

Subconsciously Solving My Problems

Albert Einstein Quote

This is just a small post for everyone who has difficulty solving arithmetic (or any other) problems. Instead of trying to work on the problem to solve it, try doing another mindless task. This can be anything from eating, having a shower or even sleeping. This way while you are consciously doing the other mindless tasks, your brain will subconsciously work on the problem and solve it (or at least lead you in the right direction).

One Year On

Today marks a special day. It marks one year since I finished my final year report and more importantly, one year since I finished my first ever video game. The video game I created was called ‘Warrior Of Normandy’ and it was used to answer the academic question “Can video games teach basic educational principles to primary school children without them being aware that they are learning?”. I enjoyed creating the video game so much that after I graduated I started to learn Unity and GameMaker. I believe this was the first time I got interested in video game development and believed that I actually could succeed at it. The download links to the video game created and my final year project report can be found below:

EGX Rezzed 2014

EGX Rezzed 2014

So today I found out EGX Rezzed 2014 is happening tomorrow. Thankfully because my boss is a good guy he let me have tomorrow off. This means that I will be attending EGX Rezzed 2014 for all three days. This will be the first ever games convention I will have gone to. Hopefully I will be able to see some great games and meet some nice people. Sadly by going to EGX means that I will not be able to finish my Mini Ludum Dare Demake game. I will try and finish it another time instead. If anybody wants to meet up at EGX (would be nice since I don’t know anybody going) then leave a comment on this blog post or contact me via Twitter.
