]]> 24 Dec 2006 02:53:39 Sketchy is a "metroidvania" that I created in about six months during 2006. It was an attempt to make a commercial game entirely in Flash, but finally around October I realized that nobody would pay for a commercial game made entirely in Flash and abandoned it in favor of more potentially-lucrative projects.

It features a featureless person, on his way to rescue a pencil from a sinister castle. Just watch the intro, it'll make sense then.

Give it a whirl and let me know what you think.

]]> 08 Feb 2007 03:57:44 Scorched 3D is a game based on the classic DOS game Scorched Earth. Scorched 3D adds amongst other new features a 3D island environment and LAN and internet play.

The gameplay remains much like in the original game. Aiming towards a certain opponent is earily done with the A button, and after that the aiming with angle and power is exactly as in Scorched Earth. However, some weapons will react differently when landing due to the three dimensional terrain.

]]> 14 Apr 2007 08:27:43 Paradox is an action based racer, putting more emphasis on the thrilling events and obstacles you will encounter. This game will feel more like a thrill ride than a straight racing game. Each level will take place in a different time period and event. One level you may be racing in the Jurassic period with a t-rex attacking you, the next level may be cruising on a highway through space in the future.
The levels are not lap based as many other racers are. Instead, the levels are one long track you will travel through to find the time rifs.
This game is currently in production and will be realeased sometime within late 2007 to early 2008. This is the first game from the indie game company Vision Lizard.

]]> 08 Aug 2007 12:57:21 Although the controls take on the basic "pentomino" controls (Up, Down, Left, Right, Space for "drop", and Q to submit your high-score), the game-play takes a very unusual spin that tickles the "nonsense" nerve. You are presented with a quiet city scene where you control heaps of rubble dropped from the sky by a tiny alien (Minibyte), who decided to "pick on the big people" by planting his "Portable Entertainment System" (a giant crane) over Earth. The goal of the game comes in three tiers: to score by squishing people, play pentomino, and challenge your reflexes as blocks fall at random speeds. The traditional set of blocks are mixed with "surprise blocks" which you have to quickly find a place for in the grid. Even the individual block tiles are purposefully vague and hard to distinguish to add to the chaos. The game is very challenging to ones reflexes. The goal is to keep your grid under control as long as possible so that you can continue scoring on pedestrians. Only those with quick fingers can survive.

]]> 07 Jun 2007 06:06:37 The Cowboy Game is a showcase of a platform game engine made in Flash 8. The game is meant to annoy you. Before you can fight the aliens you must equip your gun using the inventory screen, by dragging the gun into your hands. To fire the gun, you must reload it first by clicking the revolver icon on the lower-right side of the screen. Items you pick up along the way, must be equipped the same way before you can use it.

Keys:
Direction left/right: Move left/right
Direction up: jump
Spacebar: fire gun (if equipped)
Run: equip your horse
