I am trying to make a game… again. But this one I intend to finish unlike my first attempt.

2014 was quite a year. Many things happened, many things I learned. Now is not the time to talk about that. Now is the time to reflect back on 2014 and talk about what I enjoyed best. Some of the items on this list were not released in 2014 but I have still added them to the list as I got a chance to experience them this year. Therefore, without further ado, here is my list of the best of 2014.

I am not going to lie. I like Chromebooks. I believe they are great. I believe they can be suitable alternative for 96% of laptop users. However, most people do not know that Chromebooks exist. Even people who know that Chromebooks exist do not know if it is the right device for them. In this blog post, I am going to write about what are Chromebooks, my experience with using the Acer C720P, and the type of users that should be using a Chromebook.
I also know that recently I have been posting less about games and more about technology. This will change very soon. I have had these articles saved for some time and decided to post them now, as I did not have much game-related content to post. Someone might be interested in this information, and someone out there on the World Wide Web found it useful. If not, it is here for everyone to see for the rest of time. This does not mean I am stopping game development or stop posting game-related content. In fact, I have big news that I am going to announce in the very near future (hopefully before the end of this month, otherwise early next year). But back to the topic on hand.

Bitcoins have been around for a few years now. However, most people do not know what Bitcoins are, how they can get them and where you can use them. In this blog post, I am going to write about all the above and everything else I have learned about them over the past year.

There are numerous different services that offer online advertising. These can be very effective way to showcase the business’ product to potential customers. The product can be anything from innovative footwear to videogames. In this blog I will explain why online advertisement is effective, what online advertising services there are currently available and my personal opinion on which advertisement service is the best.

I have been recently researching about 3D printers at my current job. Some of the things I learned from this research were quite interesting so I decided that I am going to post some of my research on my blog. I will start this blog post explaining what 3D printing is, how it works, where it has been used and my views on three different 3D printers I had used in the past.

As you may remember that at the beginning of this year, I decided to make around twelve games. Well nine games in and I have decided that I am going to stop creating one game a month.

I have completed my game for the GameDev.net Jam. If you had been following the development of the game, you will know that I have been working on it this past week. I am quite proud of how the game turned out. The only thing I am sad is that I did not get a chance to implement an online leaderboard system.
The goal in Toys In Space is to retrieve the stolen toys by pulling them in to your spaceship by using your magnet. This is done by controlling different aspects of your spaceship separately.
Toys In Space is also my game for September 2014 for One Game A Month.
I have also embedded a video at the bottom of this post to display the gameplay. This is mainly for people who might not understand on how to play the game.
You can download and play Toys In Space from itch.io.

This month I have decided to participate in the GameDev.net’s ‘The Week of Awesome II‘. This is a game development competition (game jam). I decided to create this post to state that I will be participating in this competition. I will be writing about my progress during the competition on my journal on GameDev.net. This blog post will also serve as my development log to make it easier for people to follow my progress. Everything what I talk about on my journal will also be updated on here.
