Evac MAC

Thanks to L there's a new Mac port. This time it's a small game I made for a game jam at HKU, called Evac (click for PC version).

Right now I'm working on Tuning whenever I get the chance, which I feel is way overdue by now. I'll try to make a few smaller games this year as well and not focus too much on big projects like last year. We'll see how it goes.

KEYBOARD DRUMSET FUCKING WEREWOLF

A collaboration between me, Fucking Werewolf ASSO (Music, Graphics), my brother (Cover Art), and gbsr (SFX).

Hot Throttle Released!!

PLAY IT NOW!

Me and Mark Johns' game Hot Throttle was just released on Adult Swim a few hours ago. The reviews so far are pretty wild:

"Words can hardly convey how ludicrous Hot Throttle is"
-Jordan Devore (Destructoid)

"It's like watching a car wreck."
-David James Peterjohn (jayisgames.com)

"It's not a gay pr0n simulation game as one would first think"
-WebPimp (JoystickWidow)

"It's pretty enjoyable, although those cutscenes remain creepy as hell."
-Michael Rose (indiegames.com/blog)

"Thank you... for everything."
-Anthony Carboni (bytejacker.com)

"Adult Swim’s New Game, Hot Throttle, is Bizarre, Even For Adult Swim Standards"
-Allen Park (DualShockers)

"Totally needs a graphics++ XBLA version asap."
-Dan Marshall (Zombie Cow Studios)

"It's all worth it for the strange and usually NSFW cutscenes!"
-Eric Caoili (GameSetWatch)

"this game is really wierd. i dont like it"
-Rebecca Sanchez (Adult Swim user)

"This game is just...awful"
-Liam Laferriere (Adult Swim user)

"wierd."
-Ck (Adult Swim user)

"This game is really wierd..."
-Joe (Adult Swim user)

"i like it this game naked game. and i got a boner too!"
-Anonymous (indiegames.com/blog visitor)

We will try to update the game with a bit more content that didn't make it to the flash version yet and add a little tutorial for easily troubled people. But do give it a try!

Next up would be my versus game, followed by Mondo and my comic around the same time. I'll keep you guys posted! <3

Stench Mechanics Mac Version

Forgot to post this. Another big thanks to L for spending his time porting the games!

Nordic Game Jam + More Mac Ports! + Misc

Yeah, I know you're waiting for the Mondo game and whatever else, but I can only update with what I've actually got! Mondo X-mas will be released soon, I've got it to around 50% made, the only thing that isn't there is actual gameplay, sadly.

So here's what I've got instead; a horribly crappy game about Nordic Game Jam. It's a joke game, although some of it is somewhat accurate. I enjoyed the event a lot, but I couldn't resist poking fun at it when I failed to finish the more serious project I started. I also made a trailer so you wouldn't have to actually play the game.

Further more, the ever awesome L has provided me with two more Mac ports and even sent me slimmed down versions of Clean Asia!, Fractal Fighter and Illegal Communications that he ported earlier.

So here's Burn the Trash and Block On! for Mac users:

Also, I edited a video of my acceptance speech at IGF last year for a talk I gave and decided to upload it to YouTube. So I can finally post it on my blog without having to link the vid of the entire event.



Tomorrow I think another one of my games will be released! And I'll leave you with a screenshot of my work in progress for the TIGSource competition.

New Mac Ports and Mondo

Mondo Medicals (MAC)



Fractal Fighter (MAC)




Illegal Communication (MAC)



Mondo XMAS (PC)



As usual; Mac ports courtesy of L. Be sure to thank him!

Clean Asia! - Mac Version

Mac version of Clean Asia! was sent to me by L today.
DOWNLOAD HERE (38 megs).

Be sure to thank him for porting it for me.

Psychosomnium Mac version?!

L, aka J-Factor of the excellent Soul Fighter (the game that initially got me into shmups) sent me a Mac port of Psychosomnium the other day. Seeing as I don't have a Mac it's hard for me to see if it actually works, but maybe someone here can verify that!



Game available here (12mb). Music by zabutom, titlescreen artwork by Cow.

Also, the blog has been pretty inactive lately so I'll see if I can get some time to do a small game next week. Some big projects in the works though!

Dear Agent

Dear Agent is the game I made for BTH's Game Jam. It's short and to the point. Music by Curt Cool.

DOWNLOAD DEAR AGENT!
I didn't have time to fully playtest it, so there might be some bugs in the game. Will fix as soon as possible if I get any reports!

Norrland & Gamma4 separate downloads

DOWNLOAD GAMMA4 - THE GAME


DOWNLOAD NORRLAND

Cactus Arcade 2.0

So this was meant to get done by Friday last week, but things don't always go as planned. I had a few annoying bugs to deal with, that was nothing but a pain to fix.

Anyway, here it is. The following games were included:
ad nauseam 2, blockon, evac, gamma 4, krebswelte, kryzta, norrland, ping pong, precision, protoganda II, retro 4, silent chain, space fuck, stallions in america, stench mechanics, this is infinity, ultra mission, xoldiers.

DOWNLOAD (~45 meg)
This is not the final release of the pack, Gamma4 needs new music since I haven't asked for permission to use Vitalic's awesome See The Sea (Red) as soundtrack. I'm not sure they'd mind, but I guess I should try to avoid any possible conflicts. So if you have a song you think would fit, please contact me if you want me to include it in the game!

Also, since I have one or two upcoming releases and don't feel 100% sure about the games selected, a change in the line-up might also be on my to do list. I'll also see if I can update the first arcade with vista comaptible game files. And I really need to update my game list on the site! But that's for another day.

Here's something new

Final issues of Norrland

Since all the auctions have bids so far, here's the rest of the batch. Thank you everyone for bidding! I really wasn't expecting much from this!

7 of 10 - 8 of 10
9 of 10 - 10 of 10

Norrland on eBay

CD 1 of 10 - CD 2 of 10 - CD 3 of 10
CD 4 of 10 - CD 5 of 10 - CD 6 of 10

Will put the remaining four online if all of these have bids by tonight.

Norrland Trailer

Since I didn't sell any of the copies I printed I'll put them up for auction on eBay. Once they're sold the game will be released for free online.

Please note that this is a bit of an "art game". I'm sure a lot of people won't like it.

Exhibition Game

Here's some screenshots from my project for the exhibit I mentioned in the last post. The game isn't 100% finished yet, but most of the things you see are in there.


So, if anyone wants to get a chance to play this thing early, come to Kulturbygden in Sollefteå this friday! There will be a limited number of physical copies of the game on sale, and you'll be able to play the game on site of course.

Krebswelte

Someone on the forums posted about an old game I made for the procedural generated content contest at TIGSource, so I decided to update the game slightly and put it up again.

New Version, Old Version
Updates include random mode, more generous amount of treasure chests, reloading by pressing DOWN + Z (or R), as well as a number of smaller fixes to make the experience a little bit more smooth.

THIS IS INFINITY

A very abstract game about exploring rules, graphics, goals, behavior and interaction. Created for Ludum Dare 16 with the theme "Exploration". Made in about 36 hrs... I started kinda late and finished late as well.



This is infinity. Download here!
Seems like I might be able to get back to releasing games a bit more frequently. Certainly have been feeling more inspired the last few weeks. Let's hope it keeps up.

UPDATE: Fixed a very small and somewhat insignificant bug!

GAMMA IV + Donations

Finished my GAMMA IV entry the other day. I don't think I'm allowed to release it at the moment so I made yet another trailer. Feels kinda crappy to finally finish a game and not get to release it, but I do enjoy making trailers so it's not that bad.


Also, I'm broke and need money for rent, dentist and beer. So feel free to donate. Anyone who donates using the button below will automatically receive the current version of the GAMMA IV entry (hopefully this won't disqualify me). It's short, hard and might throw an error on some computers, just so you know.

Dungeon

Finally a new release. This game's called Dungeon, and is what me and Arthur "MrPodunkian" Lee managed to whip up for the current Mini LD. The theme was Comedy and Tragedy. I think we went more for the latter.

Controls:
Arrow keys - Move
Z - Jump

This game was created in Multimedia Fusion and not Game Maker. Enjoy!
