New old WIP: Star Castle

December 28, 2010 By Sokurah

I made three games in 2008, three games in 2009 and since I’ll be trying to finish some of my current WIP’s instead of constantly starting new ones, I know I’ll make (at least) three games in 2011, but for a moment I was worrying if I would be able to finish as many games in 2010. Silly really – as no ones telling me I should absolutely release that many games a year, but once you get an idea into your head it can be hard to forget it. 😉

Luckily I had an almost finished remake of the old Atari vector graphics game, Star Castle – from 1980, knocking around, that I decided I could easily finish before the year is over, so that’ll be my third and final game this year.

Yay. 🙂

So, stay tuned for one more game before the year is over – this time a nice and glowy space-shooter. 🙂

Finished: The Night Before Christmas

December 23, 2010 By Sokurah

Just three days later than I’d hoped for (but at least still before Christmas ;)) I’m happy to present my latest game called ‘The Night Before Christmas‘.

It’s not a remake but instead an original game inspired by several retrogames – especially ‘Elevator Action‘…although it plays quite differently. It’s what I call ‘a quickie’ so development has only taken a little under a month, but it’s really festive and I hope you will find it fun to play. It starts pretty easy, but soon becomes very frantic.

The Night Before Christmas – delayed…but still on time.

December 21, 2010 By Sokurah

Yes, as you may have noticed december 20th came and went with no sighting of my new Christmas themed game. 🙁

It’s been a bit delayed because of one part of the game that gave me a bit of trouble, as well as not being able to find quite as much time to spend on it as I’d hope for. It’s a new game made from scratch, with a total development time of less than a month, and that’s not much time so any little delay can mean a missed deadline.

Anyway, I’ve solved the big problem I had and is now hard at work fixing the remaining small things that needs fixing.

Ironically enough it could end up being released ‘The Night Before Christmas‘ – but definitely sometime later this week – let’s see how it goes. 🙂

New game: The Night Before Christmas

December 11, 2010 By Sokurah

Here’s a little preview of a game I’m working on.
…all things considered I think I can safely say that this will be my next game.

As you may have guessed from the title it’s a Christmas game. I wasn’t going to do one again this year, but suddenly I had an idea and I began work on it two weeks ago. A bit late – it’ll be tight, but I’m aiming for a december 20th (ish) release.

I looks a bit like Mission Elevator, and that is exactly where my inspiration comes from, and it will (hopefully) be frantic retro-action, but it’s an original game and plays nothing like Mission Elevator…well, except for having to use the elevator to go between floors..but that’s it.

Currently I have a placeholder page for the game under ‘Works in Progress’, but once the game is finished it will move to the ‘Completed Games’ section.
