  • Rewriting old player movement code

    In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Working on a small game to showcase the Devlog

    Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test 2

    Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • A long, long time ago, I was a pixel artist

    So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • A time for change

    Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

  • Some of my olddddd work

    (this is just a test, please ignore this entry)

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

I'm gonna be posting links of awesome games here that I come across. They could be flash games, interesting casual games, or really creative original indie games. It might serve to inspire other projects for team tsumea as well.

To start off with, this game is *awesome*. A tonne of fun, too.

Yeh, it would be perfect if you could use the mini map as a fast way to get around the level. Moving around the map slowly by putting the cursor at the edge of the screen gets a bit cumbersome. Oh, and the sexual moans every time you save a Viking could I could probably do without XD.

That Auditorium game is *awesome*! Not an original idea by any stretch (there are plenty of physics based ones - there's one on the iPhone), but it's executed really well.

Icebreaker was really good. I hope the tsumea teams will be making some things of the same calibre. It looks like that sort of game would be achiveable by a small team within a reasonable time scale, I expect the hardest part would be getting a worthy idea and addictive game play sorted out.

Ok, this isn't a flash game, but it's browser based!

This guy has managed to convert the old Sierra adventure games (Leisure Suit Larry, Space / Police Quest etc) in javascript for the web. While this is pretty cool in itself, he's done something extra, extra special. As you play online, you can see what others are doing as well! It's actually bizarre and pretty bloody hilarious as well to see dozens of other people using the same character and walking around, trying to figure out the adventure puzzles.

Whole heartedly worth a try :)

Check this out, this is brilliant! Looks like a whole lot of fun, and I totally dig the art style. Who said you can't have pleasing aesthetics with absolutely minimal art?

This is awesome..

It's called Little Wheel. Initially, I thought "looks great, but yet another platformer with black silhouette artstyle?". Thankfully, it's not a platformer. There are some simple (initiatively) puzzles in there that really help tell the story, and it really is perfect for something like the iPhone (if they haven't made it for it already).
