new games and progress

I've done a lot and even made a few small games since the last time I posted, I'll try to keep this as concise as I can.

First and foremost, Maximus Cerebrum is almost complete. I still need a few more music tracks and then I'll be sending it out to some beta testers for feedback before a final release. I am rather anxious to see how well the game will be received.

In my free time I made a few quick games for the 3 hour game jam which is hosted each Saturday now. You make a game in 3 hours based on the theme given on the website and then post a download link to it on twitter using the hashtag #3hGj
I've made 2 games for it so far, the first theme was "Light Bulb" and I made Unscramble Adventures for that one.

The next theme was "Hacker" and I made a game called Access Denied.

In other news, the game I released earlier this year on January 31st, The Sound Of Murder, has been received pretty well. It is nearing 4000 views and has almost reached 2000 downloads. There have also been a few let's plays on YouTube of the game and I enjoyed one in particular by the ThingsWePlay channel:

I think I've covered almost everything now, I hope you've found this little progress update informative!

Maximus Cerebrum & Stone Spirit progress

It's been a while since my last post so I feel I need to give a progress update of sorts on my latest projects.

I've been putting most of my efforts into finishing the project I started over 2 years ago, Maximus Cerebrum. I'm trying to finish the game before I reach 18 years old, so that gives me just a few months... I've been devoting as much time to it as is possible.

Unfortunately, due to this deadline I've set upon myself for Maximus Cerebrum, I cannot afford to put much of my time into other projects, such as Stone Spirit. However, Stone Spirit is nearly finished, anyway. I don't expect it to be very long after I release Maximus Cerebrum that I will also be releasing Stone Spirit.

Really excited to finish these games.

The Sound Of Murder released

The Sound Of Murder has been released. You can download on GameJolt!

A big thank you to Nik Sudan and Bret Hudson, as well as the TPT community!

new url address

hey everyone
i changed my blog address to orange08games now, because it seems more sensible than just having "indie" in the url.

so some links might not work in places, I'll fix as many as I can.

Anyway I've been working on Stone Spirit a lot lately, and also a bit on Maximus Cerebrum. I can't wait to release them for you to play. In the meantime here are some new screenshots:

Ice Cream Dodger HTML5 released!

Ice Cream Dodger HTML5 is COMPLETE! That's right! You can now dodge ice cream cones in the comfort of your very own browser! Play now on Kongregate!
Big thanks go out to Matthew Pablo, ThatSnail, Hubol Gordon, tamper2, and YellowAfterlife for helping me out with this project! I love you guys!

Have fun, everyone!

working on more games

Surprise! I've been working on more games!

That one WIP I released, Sneaky Guy Search, has gotten a bit more work put into it. The graphics are (mostly all) customizable now, and you can change the music as well! I don't feel quite ready to release the update yet... it needs a bit more polish I think. Anyway, here are some screenshots.

Custom "Android VS Apple" Graphics:

I've also gotten heaploads of progress on Maximus Cerebrum, the game is steadily reaching towards completion. I hope that people will receive it well. Here's a fresh new screeny from that:

Ice Cream Dodger HTML5 is also nearly ready to be published... I just want to make it as perfect as possible before the final release, though. Thanks to some quick work from the game's composer, Matthew Pablo, the release is due to come much sooner than I previously thought. With luck I'll have it all ready by tomorrow night!

And now for a bit of surprise, I've actually been working on a revamp of "The Statues Live"(made for GMC Jam #3) recently. The name obviously needed replaced, so this game will be called "Stone Spirit". The game's graphics have also been completely remade from scratch. Additionally, there is now a lot more plot & cutscenes. Compare the difference.

That's all for now, hope I can release these games soon!

what up

hey guys whats up
It seems like I haven't posted in a while so just in case there's anyone out there whos actually interested, I'm just gonna give you the low-down on what is happening.

Last month there was that Game Jolt contest thingy, even though I'm a judge I still wanted to make something for it so I made Sneaky Guy Search, I'm currently adding little bitty updates to the game (making it so players can mod the graphics and stuff)... so hopefully I can release the update to that sometime soon.
I've also been playing some of the games from that contest to judge them, that's not so easy with internet as slow as mine. But I manage to scrape by with help from other judges who have faster interspeeds.

Just recently I started working a little bit more on Maximus Cerebrum. I had been busy with other things, but just recently found a bit of time and inspiration for it. I anxiously await the time when it is finished and I can release it to the world.

I've also been working on another project, Ice Cream Dodger... It's actually already finished, as a downloadable game. I started work on the game in hopes of putting it on Kongregate(and possibly other flash portals as well) as an addictive HTML5 game. Unfortunately, back then it was difficult to iron out the bugs that appeared once I imported the project into GameMaker Studio. But now I've gotten up the gusto and I'm making Ice Cream Dodger into a fun polished browser game! Let's hope it gets millions of plays when I'm done!

i think thats all
i cant be sure but i think thats all
