Here's good old Obama. Nineties Cockpit Freakout is in pretty good shape also and tommorrow I'm going to jump into the exciting and scary world of the Wizard again.

Very good!

Today's gif featuring His Cyborg Familiar:

Welll, there was this on time , in .

Thanks for all the kind words! They keep me motivated during the difficult times like today when I tried to draw a pixel art portrait of Joe Biden... Dot Gobbler now has all the gameplay stuff I had planned. On the code side it is such a hilarious mess duct taped together but I'm happy it kind of works (and that it doesn't need to be a bigger/more complex thing).

Worked on the Violator some more. I have to keep reminding myself that these are supposed to be very short experiences so that I will be able to make a complete thing out of every one of these.

Great sombre but goofy atmosphere! I was trying to make some kind of Ghost Dog/Forest Whitaker joke here but I got nothing...

The Wizaaaaaa-a-a-aaard... First I was going to make something in the style of the first Zelda, but I realized Zelda II-like would be a more interesting challenge (and I have unlimited amount of nostalgia for that game). Now I have at least the very basics done in every game, and have a clear(er) idea of what the final experiences should be like.

That sad window blind is such a great detail.

It is the nineties and there is time for Klax shmups. Today's dev highlight was when a ceiling and ghosts from Dot Gobbler and Bargo Busters text from the Holo-Violator suddenly appeared in an early Nineties Cockpit Freakout test and I could not understand how it was happening.

Same here, but since there is no competitive aspect to this I thought, why not, let's see how many silly game things I can make in two weeks.

Looks cool, had not seen that one before, (and apparently there was a pretty wild looking unreleased of it?! ). 3D mazes that I knew from the 8bit era were from and Here's what I have for His Cyborg Familiar now. It will be about you as a cyborg protecting a hacker.

also good, and getting better!

I think I'm going to make a rough version of all of the six ideas first, and after that start fleshing them out depending on how much time and energy I have left. So today I started the XCOM Obama and in this gif, the main stupid joke (which is why I wanted to make this) is revealed. The platforming code is from Shaun Spaldings tutorials , I have tinkered with GML for a couple of years but this is still way beyond my skills.

Here's some authentic Big Dog noise samples that I had ripped from youtube, you might have some use for them in this project. bigdog_walk.wav bigdog_walk2.wav

Good thread idea! The music might make it unusable for you but the Ultra-Boost song has some quality stuff in it.

Cool uncle's incredible fashion sense is instantly recognizable even in 8-bit form.

You can almost hear the

Because of this reminder, the development of Dot Gobbler took an unexpected turn...

Thanks, it means a lot hearing that from the inventor of the Holo-Violator himself. Yes because it actually is , for my version though I'll try to make some truly oppressive survival horror that reflects the deep dread of that cover. Here is a Holo-Violator gif, it has some color flickering but nothing too crazy. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to explain what's going on in that gif. Well the story here is that in the dark cyberpunk future The Holo-Violator is a turbo malevolent adware that tries to sneak in to consumers HoloLenses by travelling amidst real quality content. Your goal as the player is to find the Violator before it is too late.

Spaff has such a great voice, like a smoother and more British Steve Gaynor. The podcast has now so many cool regular hosts and guests that it's fun to think about how different combos would work. I think my nightmare dream episode would be just Nick and Steve together...

Could be a nice idea, music making is one of my favourite hobbies but I've never really shared or discussed about it anywhere. Here's my Soundcloud page https://soundcloud.com/atteo/sets/new-notable And it looks like I haven't uploaded any new stuff for years, so maybe some outside inspiration/motivation/pressure would be a healthy thing for me.

Eurogamer article luckily/hopefully says: "Speaking in a press conference this morning, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata confirmed Nintendo would take charge of the actual game development - the front-end, gameplay and UI that players actually see."

Idle Thumbs podcast episode titles as the theme?! Here's a small selection of some titles that I found interesting: - The First Age of Extreme - Space Boss: The Lord of Space - His Cyborg Familiar - Nasty/Good/Badass - Dance Of The Treasure Goblin - Happy Dishonored Halloween - Free Macintosh Warez - Nineties Cockpit Freakout - XCOM Obama - Unmasking The Brain Burglar - A Divine Exodus of Snakes - Blondie, Freckles, and Glasses - KeLo. Is. Here. And here's the full list of spectacular episode titles (copied from http://idlethumbs.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_List) Idle Jam: Let the Games Begin / What is Game?

Very much interested! Yeah, some optional themes/categories would be nice. It should be interesting to see in the end how different people approached the same topics.
