Nordic Game Jam stuff

Hempuli — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 07:21:24 +0000

Jwaap and his crew did the greatest jam game ever! And I did musics for it. Also earned a ton of useful knowledge this year.

Play my JAM game

Play a trippy art game

Play INFINITE SWAT, the game I made musics for and worked on with JW, Ciro and Rami!

(NOTE! They ALL require XBOX 360 controllers!)

Well then, I’m now in Denmark, hanging with cool people and being the hugest nerd in the universe. What fun! Also making games.

MERRY

Yeah, exactly what it says there – I’ve been totally drowning in the amount of university stuff everyday, and also my motivation has been really low. Oh well, I’ll try to keep going, albeit slowly. Masjin’s level editor is coming up nicely, it’s just that I need to do some really big changes to it to get everything working; we’ll see how that goes. Officer Alfred’s also coming up slow but steady!

On other notes, I got my driving license yesterday. Very happy about that, but I’m not sure if I need it at all.

One day left!

Abloobloo Lacewing build #19

Hempuli — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 22:16:50 +0000

So, the creator of Lacewing, Jamie, has updated the network extension to a new version, with a lot of new stuff to have fun with. Problem is, there are still some little bugs and at the moment Masjin can’t really be updated until he fixes certain data-sending related things. I was quite worried today when the game suddenly stopped working, but I’ll try to contact him tomorrow.

Update to Barrel Facility

Woop, updated it to add more levels, enemies and mechanics. Also made some parts slightly easier. You can now press ESC to kill yourself in case you get stuck, too.

No More Sweden 2011

Hempuli — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 21:00:19 +0000

So, NMS 2011 was this weekend! It was a blast, I enjoyed it thoroughly. All the cool people were there and we got to test some really interesting games, such as Johann Sebastian Joust, and a new game from the same guy (Douglas Wilson) called ‘Monster’ (alternative name option would be ‘Beacon of Light’). It’s a lot of fun playing games that feel like those classic games I played with my friends were in primary school or such, but with additional control added with the Sony Move controllers.

Also, we of course had sort of a game-making competition; people wrote verbs on pieces of paper, and everyone had to pick 1-3 verbs and use them as the theme of their game. My verb was ‘Boooom’, which is a bit on the edge on whether it’s a verb to begin with. I used it as if it was meant as ‘to explode’; I made 2 games, the first of which failed because it really was too ambitious.
Here’s a picture:

The game was supposed to have the theme included in the plotline – the No More Sweden facility was going to be about to destroy Sweden with various bombs, and Hercule Poirot would’ve been sent to disarm them. The engine was quite solid, but doing a full game with it would’ve been a major pain.

I started a new game when there was only 11 hours left to the competition. This time I used much more simplified graphics in order to make it in time.

I’m actually very happy with the game itself. It turned out to be brutally hard, but other than that the style is kinda nice. I had to leave for my airplane right after the compo ended, so my game didn’t really make it to the voting. I also got some nice music composed by Anosou. Thanks Anosou!

GO PLAY THE GAME

Once again, I lied. My motivation has been really low lately. Hopefully I’ll get something done soon, though.

On another note, I am now a University student! Yaaay – this Autumn I’ll be studying some hardcore psychology.
