Living in a post-technological Utopian society was nice for nearly 500 years until a meteor storm struck the floating island of the Gulo Nation, wreaking havoc and killings hundreds of Gulos. Not only did the meteors obliterate what was left of the once great Nation, but the Oibri, helper robots designed to help preserve life, became corrupt and started attacking the Gulos.

It's up to one Gulo to take action and save what is left of his people.

]]> 03 Jul 2007 12:08:06 A Mini Falafel Adventure Episode 1 of a Gameboy-style platform adventure game. Collect ingredients to gain abilities and become the ultimate falafel.

Originally this game was started as an entry for a Retro Remakes competition.
]]> 09 Feb 2007 11:33:45 Prism NB: Currently seeking a publisher/funding to realise the full game.

Prism is an action adventure platform game featuring a character comprised of two contrasting software systems; a creative artificial intelligence and a restrictive algorithm. Roaming from level to level to neutralise viruses in a corrupted server network, Routine404 is able to take three principle forms: Biped Mode, Jet Mode and Pure Mode.

It is also possible for Routine404 to take the form of its enemies in later stages of the game after being subjected to enemy code. The game world takes place across 7 nodes of the server network. Each node is split into rooms called cells, and each node is joined by a vertical scrolling shoot-em up section where Routine404 is in Jet Mode throughout.

Some levels begin with 3D cut scene animation for storytelling purposes, and some actions such as opening doors or defeating end-of-level enemies trigger short 3D animated clips.

As the player progresses through the game, an increased effort is made to draw the player's attention to his/her interaction with the game. The purpose of which is to generate a perspective of self reference; one that encourages the player to question their role within the game, and the role of the game (and interactive media as a whole) in their life.

The climax of the game reveals that the enemy and hero are one and the same; both created for the purpose of storytelling by a force that remains elusive.

The reward for completion of the game is a generative level; one that is created dynamically at run time for the player to obtain a high score among a community of players.

Funky physics, stylish graphics, catchy music and bunch of weird levels to say it short.

The game is simple but hard.
]]> 10 May 2007 07:56:27 Pazzesco The game stars a... thing...
The rest of the storyline is still a working progress...
The gameplay is purely adventure/platformer. There are no enemies in the game, which might scare away a lot of gamers, but its more about story, finding new items, planting seeds, and more.
What makes it unique is the fact that there is no enemies, the art is very cool, and its going to be a storyline with a lot of twists, turns, and comedy.

WARNING: there are 3 things that may come as a bit of a shock.
1- There is no sound... yet. If you have musical skills, please contact.
2-There is a glitch that I am not able to run into at all, but others have seen it. I suspect it may be because of computer specs, but either way if you see this, I'd appreciate if you took a screenshot and explain what you did.
3-There isn't much to do yet... This is more of a tech demo than a gameplay demo, but if you want to help give ideas, etc then please contact.
]]> 12 Jun 2007 01:10:17 Exolon DX This is a PC/Mac remake of the old ZX Spectrum game by Raffaele Cecco and Hugh Binns, written for Hewson Consultants Ltd and released in 1987.

]]> 12 Dec 2006 02:22:32 Nuttz Welcome to Wonderful Woodland, squirrel! Maybe there aren't any nutts left so you can gather them for winter, but your neighbour sure has lots of them. You never really liked him, did you? Take his nutts and add them to your stash!

Nuttz is a game for two players, based on Capture The Flag. Each player controls one of insanely-quick squirrels and tries to run over to his opponents base (middle hollows), steal the nut, and stash it in his own base. You can only carry one nut at a time. If you stomp the enemy mario-like, he will be immobilized for 1 second, and will lose the nut he was carrying. From time to time, like in every normal forest, on middle-top platform spawns magical FreezeGem, which will immobilize your opponent for 5 seconds, he will not lose the nut however. You can use bottom and top hollows for quick transfers between levels. First player to get 10 nuts wins. You see amount of nuts in player1 and player2 bases in top left and top right corners respectively.

Blah Blah. Game is still in development (one reason why it's insanely fast is no framerate independency ;)). Want to add 1 or 2 more features, and then eventually totally rewrite code cause it's fugly. Nevertheless, it plays nice on my comp, and that's all that matters, right?
]]> 17 Jan 2007 04:45:54 Pushover A rather original game where you have to knock down dominoes to progress through the levels.
The fun part is that there are several different dominoe types which perform different actions.
You have one that split in two, one that floats, one that is a blocker, etc, and you have to arrange them in order to be able to knock them down with one push and making sure that one special dominoe that acts like the "goal" is the last one to be knocked down.
The game has 100 levels distributed across 9 zones.

Platform game where you must avoid hazards like fireballs, arrows and angry guards on your journey over the castle walls to save your love, Esmerelda.

Updated graphics and funky sound track gives the game a fresk lick of paint but the same game play that made it a "one more go" game remains.

So with this, he makes the decision to accumulate his marble collection once more and save the planet from the evil clutches of Dr Destiny and his Tinhead Army.

Willys not going to take it lying down, thats for sure. Oh no. He's going to collect that pile of rubbish up and give it straight back to the intergalactic travellers that deposited it in the first place.

If only the mansion wasn't so big...and if only the aliens had actually left and weren't throwing a party of their own.

Maybe its time to get a new housekeeper after all...

]]> 06 Feb 2007 03:24:45 Dizzy Remake "Dizzy was exploring the haunted forest, looking for some berries, flowers and a piece of wood with which to make a club when he uncovered a mystifying stone slab. Brushing the dirt aside he was able to read (after a great deal of head scratching) the faint inscription 'The Avawiffovee Potion' Dizzy remembered his Eggfather had spoke of such a potion. 'It is the only way to rid our land of athletes foot, and it can also be used to destroy the Evil Wizard Zaks.' Dizzy trembled with fear as he recalled these words. Zaks brought fear to the village, he cast spells that turned people old, made men blind and caused it to rain every Sunday afternoon during Cricket. Dizzy was determined to put a stop to all this, he would be the hero of the yolkfolk. He read on... 'Fill a potion bottle with cooked Leprechauns wig, cloud silver lining, Vampire dux feather and some troll brew - cook the potion and throw it at Zaks to dissolve his reign.' He covered it up and quickly made ready to liberate the land of KATMANDU."
]]> 06 Feb 2007 03:00:05 Dizzy's Bad Day
  • ***FIRST OFF UNDER 18 OR EASILY OFFENDED PEOPLE DON'T PLAY****

    • Dizzy's bad day was my entry into the 2003 Retro Remakes remakes competition.

    It won the comedy prize due to it's rather adult take on the Dizzy series.

    It is an authentic style Dizzy game with coins to collect, characters to interact with and puzzles to be completed.
    Puzzles may involve dildos, drugs and huge false moustaches but it's all in the standard Dizzy format :D.

    The flimsy plot is that Dizzy's porn shop has exploded, scattering his wares accross the land.
    His parents are coming to visit so he must gather everything up before they arrive and save his embarrasment.

    The game is NOT for the easily offended, as the big 18 signs on the title screen may indicate.

    Look out for a cameo by Magic Knight ;)
    ]]>     08 Feb 2007 05:20:20     Pogo Fred Pogo Fred is a fun platform adventure featuring blue pyjama wearing Fred and his new friend Adrian the Pogostick. Fred has no idea where he is, or what has gone on, but eventually with your help, he will learn the truth!

    Pogo Fred was designed for my third year of Multimedia Technology & Design at the University of Kent. PF is coded in Blitzmax with music written (by me) in MilkyTracker and most of the graphics drawn in Macromedia Flash (and then edited in Paintshop Pro X). It's taken 9 months to code and is admittedly a bit rushed to meet the deadline set but it has taught me alot about coding as well as the media that goes with it. I've also learnt an awful lot about planning and how important it can be to make a project run smoothly (recoded the editor from scratch 3 times :/).

    Anyhoooo enough yapping, this is the first chapter and I hope you enjoy it!
