Games for Windows Article / New Game

Posted by jmtb02 - January 30th, 2008

Ziff Davis Media apparently loves me this month... Games for Windows Magazine ran an article called "The Top 52 Free Games to Play Now" in their February issue, and Dark Cut 2 was featured on page 52 in the simulation section! They link to Newgrounds in that article, which is great. Also in the magazine is a really nice article about getting into casual game design.

Also, 1UP.com recently ran an article for the top 101 free games of 2007, and I managed to get 4 games into that list! That list includes Ball Revamped 5, Dark Cut 2, Luminara, and Four Second Frenzy.

I also wanted to post a link to the new game I am working on. Production name "Elements", this game focuses on manipulating the level to make progress instead of the player. Take a look at the YouTube Video. It should have 30 levels of funnnnnn! The video quality sucks, so bare with it.

Okay, that's all... have a really lovely day!

The new game looks sick (already saw the video on armorblog, and congrats on the mention in the magazine, must feel spectacular =) I only got my game mentioned once in a magazine, but this must be ur 4th time? Nice job =D

The game looks like dizzying fun. I can't wait to play it. Congratulations on the publicized mentions. :)

I saw my friend playing your game Dark Cut 1 yesterday (probable on a site that stole it). Anyway, she loved it. I find it interesting how good flash media spreads.

You deserve all the street cred your getting.

...and I've had a great day thanks!

Your name reminds me of Apple Jacks, that cereal I ate when I was like 10. Thanks :).

So that looks like a Vista cursor.. I suddenly feel bad for you :(
Also nice game.. although maybe its just the video but it still looks like your controlling the player, not the level itself.. or are you rotating/scaling/etc.. the level?

jmtb02 2008-01-30 19:03:33

BOOO Vista is fine. Yeah, I'm scaling and rotating the entire level with the cursor.

aldlv 2008-01-30 19:23:01
