2014: My Goals and Resolutions for the New Year

Yesterday I put up a recap / personal reflection of my 2013. With the year being as crazy and awesome as it was, I can't wait to see what 2014 brings me. That being said, I have created a few goals for myself in 2014: Make more games, and ship some of them too: In 2013, I officially shipped two games, Wobbles and Codename Cygnus. On top of those, I worked on several side game projects such as Ball 2 Box, Paranoia, and a few other games. My goal for 2013 is to at least meet a goal of shipping two games, and maybe at least doubling that to four. I already have Sovereignty which will officially ship next year, and have a few others planned, so we'll see how that goes! As for side projects for games, I want to participate in every game jam I can this year. I…

2014: My Goals and Resolutions for the New Year

2013 Recap – One Hell of a Year!

2013 has been one crazy ride. I honestly am surprised how quickly it went by and what happened this year. Easily said, it's been one hell of a year for me (and I'm sure many other people too). Compared to previous years, I've done so much in what seems like a little amount of time. I've released not one, but two successful games on the iOS and Android platforms, attended three awesome gaming conventions/events, worked on countless side projects and started a brand new company on the side, and I've also made a ton of great new friends. I'm surprised I have time to sleep! Global Game Jam (January) Global Game Jam was my second game jam competition I have ever participated in. I did it with two of my teammates from Play Nimbus, Mike and Adam. We worked on a game called Paranoia, which ultimately is a simple puzzle…

Ludum Dare 28: Tumbling Towers – A Small Post Mortem

It's done. I completed my first ever Ludum Dare project. Over the course of roughly 48 hours, with the help of caffeine and little amounts of sleep, I finished a new game jam project, Tumbling Towers. Over that small course of 48 hours, I logged my progress through a variety of development blogs on the Ludum Dare site, YouTube videos and an entire stream on Twitch.TV. Here's a quick recap: What is Tumbling Towers? Tumbling Towers is a physics based, tower building game where you must build the tallest tower you can using only one type of material. There are three materials in the game: Wood, Ice and Stone. Each of the materials has their own attributes. Wood is very average, Ice is the lightest, but is a little bouncy and has zero friction (so it will slide on the slightest slant), and Stone is very heavy and falls very…

Back in August I did an interview with 100 Percent Indie about my game, Wobbles. I somehow didn't catch it when it went up, thus I didn't share it. During the interview, I talked about how we got formed as a team, the game development process, and much more. Head on over to 100PercentIndie.com to check out the interview!
