Plug your shit

[zerofiftyone]

I actually became a convert to "video game" from "video game" this year

 

This surprises and delights me every time someone triggers it.

[Nachimir]

At least it doesn't capitalise it anymore.

[Spenny]

In the office, we had a little game jam. My team made a game called Dot Monster, which combines the puzzle game Dots with an RPG mechanic. Our animator did some really cool stuff with the monster and background, which scales from being the size of a blade of grass to being bigger than the planet. 

 

The game was made for Android, and you can get it here.

The past few months I finally finished up a freeware PC game vidcon I previously left abandoned for three years: The Illogical Journey of the Zambonis. It's a riff on an old 90s edutainment puzzle game, narrated in the style of an Eastern European fable and featuring puzzling scenarios, full voice acting and horrible clipart. 

[Cleinhun]

Oh hey, I remember playing that years ago. It was weird. I will have to give this version a shot.

[Joewintergreen]

Oh man, I played that. The computers at my primary school had it.

The backgrounds were in some format savable by ms paint, so I would open them up and write crass but subtle graffiti on the walls and people would spot it later and be weirded out. In hindsight I guess that was probably my first foray into modding.

[BigJKO]

Holy shit, yeah I remember the Zoombinis! I gotta check out your game later!

Hey everyone!

Here to plug my band Spook the Horses for your listening pleasure.

We're a five-piece post-hardcore outfit from New Zealand, with our second album on the way early next year.
We've released the first song from it here:

You can also download said song, as well as our first album, both for free on our Bandcamp. For more info visit our website, snazzily made in Squarespace (tyvm Thumbs for the discount).

For fans of Isis, Cult of Luna, Kongh, Keretta, Jakob, Explosions In the Sky and Kollwitz

[BadHat]

Hi fellow NZer! That song was pretty tight, I'll check out your other stuff and maybe fling a few New Zealandland Funbucks your way.

[Roderick]

The Zambonis have really taken hold of the internet. The time has come for me to try it, Noyb!

 

As for myself, after a really solid first half year of book sales, I've witnessed them petering out a little recently. So I'm curious to see if I can give it a Christmas holiday boost by making a little ad and putting it online. It's Dutch, but it features a typically corny bit of poetry. Nothing says 'buy my shit' like poor rhyming.

Like everyone else, I write about video games on the internet. 

Here's my portfolio site: http://www.marshallsandoval.com/portfolio/

[TheHollowNight]

I make things, occasionally video games, occasionally music, and rarely music for video games.

I made my portfolio website using Squarespace (before it was cool pfftt) so i guess I should plug that.

 

http://www.aseaton.squarespace.com/

 

I'm going to slowly turn it into a more traditional site, rather than it be a public show piece of my crap. I'd like to write more about my work as a developer, do opinion pieces and do videos/audio casts and streams and other cool shit. Also I need to buy a sweet domain name.

 

More recent music stuff is located on my soundcloud, though most of it is unfinished versions of things I'm working on.

Oh my god Rodi that rhyme is so bad it literally made me a little angry.

Nice man, great tune. I'm moving to wellington next year so ill keep an eye out for your band. If you don't mind me asking where did you do the recording in Welly?

[Nachimir]

I reviewed a load of cameras for the latest issue of Singletrack. It's not online, but in issue 94 if you're interested in mountain bikes or action cameras, and you can see a scan of the page with my face looking stupid at that link.

[Apple Cider]

I do a variety of things online, and I definitely already posted in the podcast thread before I saw this one, eek. 

 

Podcasts I host or produce:

http://justicepoints.com (gaming/feminism oriented)

http://trashartandtelevision.com (TV media critique with lots of laughs)

 

My writing:

http://applecidermage.com (gaming, mostly)

 

I will also come back and edit because I think my first published piece on gaming is going up on Paste Games today.

I made a point and click adventure game for the Point and Click Jam. It's super short and not hard, so go! Play it!

I got as far as two characters getting mysteriously beamed aboard an alien spaceship and then quit because I don't like PLAGIARISM.

[BigJKO]

I dan't know what game you're referring to, Ben.

[SuperBiasedMan]

Everybody's ben there with their games and dan that so I don't think you can claim plagiarism.

 

The game was good! Definitely approve of it being short and easy so I actually finished it, unlike most adventure games.

[Ben X]

I don't think you can claim plagiarism.

 

I definitely can, and what's more I'll sue him for every øre he's got.

Argh, this is fucking gorgeous, and pretty funny. (I think that being able to make simple, pretty point and click adventures is a talent that I am insanely jealous of.)

[BigJKO]

I definitely can, and what's more I'll sue him for every øre he's got.

Shut just got real!

I'm fairly certain the judge will look at the 8 frame walk cycle and immediately dismiss the case.

Rubix! Thanks so much! I've never made a point and click before so I'm just surprised I managed to make something playable at all in two weeks!

[RubixsQube]

And now, the right side of my menu bar looks pretty fun:

Yessss! :tup:
