Finnish Game Jam, Pt.2

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Okay, the jam is almost over, our game is finished. Fire! To deadify! Your rivals! I am quite satisfied what our team of three accomplished in just 48 hours. We hadn’t met before and there was nothing ready before the jam. I felt it kind of unfortunate that I, almost immediately after the theme for the jam and the voluntary accomplishments were announced, came up with the game idea.

Unfortunate in the sense that in a happening like this, it might be a bit risky to hang yourself on an idea right-off-the-bat. Fortunately the idea carried us to the end. And stop reading this and try out the game!

Finnish Game Jam

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

At the moment I am taking part in Finnish Game Jam, part of the Global Game Jam. We are to make a game in 48 hours, without prior idea or team. There are certain constraints, mandatory and voluntary ones. Right now we are progressing rather nicely. We have a programmer, a designer (me) and an artist in the team.

We have a solid 20 hours to go…

Potential New Year Resolutions

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

A new year is upon us and in another year, a new decade as well. I had this crazy idea to try and write on my blog every single day something, anything, for the coming year. Instead of making up my own mind, why not ask the more essential people (=bots), you, the supposed readers.

What do you think? Should I take it upon myself to write something on this blog for every day a whole year?
