My original intent was to write a blog post every day during the jam, but unfortunately I was so involved in improving the game I just couldn’t find the time. Instead I will just give you the whole story in one shot. So here begins the story of MagBall. The Rules For those who don’t [...]

I have decided to attempt to build a game in 10 days. The game will be submitted to Create, a contest being put on by Ouya and Kill Screen. If you don’t know, the Ouya is an upcoming game console recently funded via Kickstarter. It is a small, open, Android based console with HDMI out, [...]

Another long period has passed without much of an update, sorry for that. I have been quite busy working on AquaWars and some other contract work. The plan is now to launch AquaWars in January. I wanted to launch this month, but with the iTunes Connect shutdown and plethora of sales it isn’t the best [...]

So it is the end of the third week. Unfortunately life has thrown a couple of obstacles in the way, meaning I did not get as much done thus week as I wanted to. On Sunday I got a stomach virus that made it quite difficult to work on anything, and the next two days [...]

So the second week of development has come to an end. This week was primarily back end work to build foundations for the game, although I did end up adding a few cool front end features as well. I’ll go over one of those first. One thing I knew I wanted in the game since [...]
