This good fellow from the Nifflas’ forums made a nice playthrough of Jump, Copy, Paste! It’s really interesting to see how other people react to my puzzles.
First vidja (levels 1-10)

Oh Hey! I just finished a new game! It is yet another of those platformers-with-a-twist, this time related to copying and pasting of level areas. Because I’m lazy and don’t want to write everything for a third time, let’s use some copy/paste of my own:
Jump, Copy, Paste features a mechanic that at least I haven’t seen earlier, and it circles around copying and pasting parts of the game levels. The game was supposed to have a story of some sort, but due to an immensely infuriating and nonsense glitch I decided to get done with the game quickly. The story would’ve been quite cheesy anyway, so maybe it’s for the best that I didn’t include it. Noby Did again some wonderful music for the game. That guy is a genius.
* CONTROLS *
A + D = move about
W = jump
Left mouse button = choose the area to copy, release to perform. After copying, you can select a new area with another left click.
Right mouse button = paste the copied area.
R = restart
Esc = Quit

We had some amazing fun at Glorious Trainwrecks this weekend; They had planned a klik jam where everyone was to make as many so-bad-it’s-good games in 48 hours as possible. As I’m writing this the game count is 376, and 371 was the original aim. I created 4 games, one silly worms-clone and 3 amazingly epic RPGs. Even though most of the games are so terrible that no-one will probably play the games, just doing them and discussing the creation with others was great fun. Thanks, Glorious Trainwrecks!
HURRRKKK. Over 500 entries were created in the end. Woah, that’s really sick. Congrats!
Here’re my games listed:
MYSTEERILUOLA: Scanline Dungeon
Download link
“MysteeriLuola is a Dungeon Master -like RPG adventure game where you enter the SCANLINE DUNGEON to fight various beasts, such as NINJA PIRATEs. The game is packed with action and tricky puzzles! The very definition of Family Gaming!”
MYSTEERILUOLA II: Return of the Cunning Door
Download link
“Mysteeriluola II reveals new facts about the past of our mysterious dungeon hacker. In this brand new Hempuli adventure, you explore the vast Donut Mausoleum in order to find your way further to the Scanline Dungeon! Perfect!”
MYSTEERILUOLA III: Solitude of Circumstantial Preferance

COMBAT WORMS
Download link
“Combat Worms is a 1-player vs. CPU worm game. You try to collect more points than the CPU while avoiding collision with quite much everything. Even though the CPU AI is silly, it’s quite funny.”
Sometimes just making games is fun, no matter what the results are.

Not that anyone reads this blog, but I feel that I have to post something occasionally.
So, this place will probably become a bit more active in a couple weeks. I have a project going and will eventually post some information about it here. I’ll wait until I reach certain stage before talking about the game, though, because I hate it when I blabber about my next “AWESOME” game and then realize I have to abandon it. You know, some people might feel like they have been let down.

So this person called Terry Cavanagh has released his long-awaited platformer, VVVVVV. It’s shareware, but really worth the money, I enjoyed it thoroughly. This post is a bit late on the subject, but I felt I needed something to write about, if nothing but a short post. The game features fast-paced platforming, With A Twist, which is very amusing by it’s nature. It’s also very hard for a newcomer, which is obviously a good thing – prepare to die a couple hundred times.
GO GO GET IT NOW BOINK

After 3 weeks of voting, the results of the Ludum Dare are out. My overall score was apparently the third best, tied with Dock’s PenguinAgain. My game was also sixth in the Theme-category and seventh in Fun. Also I earned a gold medal for Coolness, because I rated every game submitted (121, phew).
Currently, I’m working on one game “actively”, and pondering several different games to work on as side-projects. I’ll post screenshots of this bigger project when I get far enough. That wont happen very soon, though, I fear.

Had an amazing weekend! Luckily the theme didn’t end up to be Twilight fandom but instead Exploration, so I could actually get some proper ideas. The development went mostly nicely, so that I had time for other things too, except for Sunday night when I suddenly found out a Huge, Game-Breaking bug which I then spent around 1½ hours fixing. The result of my work was Apocalypse Adventure, a Fallout-esque action adventure that I quite like; the gameplay is quite good and there are not THAT many bugs.
I had seen the trailer of cactus’ Life/Death Island some weeks earlier, and when I saw the theme suggestions “apocalypse” and “exploration” getting high scores, I started to ponder something based on what I had seen. My idea was at first an adventure game with lots of emptiness and some arbitrary puzzles here and there, but it eventually turned out more action-based. Also, when I started working on the game, I decided to keep it fully top-down to make spriting easier (just rotations). By making this decision I also subconsciously changed to the jwaap-drive, which may explain why the game characters ended up looking like something ripped from 4hRPG. At some point I also changed the large empty areas to be on a separate map to avoid it becoming boring and to make navigating easier.
When I had the basic engine running, I started to design the map. This proved out to be kinda hard, because I had little time to really plan things out and had plenty of area ideas for the map. I chose 13 of them and after some pointless scribbling made a simple map with the locations of the areas you can visit. Eventually, however, one of them (a “secret” underground temple area) had to be left out because of the time limits. I could’ve spent more time designing the areas so that there would’ve been some order in which to visit them, or some puzzles that require getting items from several places, but bleh, didn’t want to, and I think I managed to get some of that in anyway.
Hum, perhaps I oughtn’t write a full post-mortem here, I’ll just link the screenshots and put a download link.

I guess it’s better stop posting about some arbitrary plans and games that probably wont get made, so let’s take a more realistic topic.
I’m sure going to participate The Ludum Dare 48h game making competition that will be held next weekend. I’ve participated twice this far, and while my first entry was a terrible game, the second turned out to be Excavatorrr, which I thought to be certainly successfull in some sense. The atmosphere in LD is always friendly and the blog-form of the compo offers the competitors a possibility to tell about their progress (and post info about what they’re eating, hehe).
The only thing that worries me a bit that the theme suggestion “Twilight Fandom” made it to the final theme suggestion poll. I am not really interested of making a game about the romantic relationship of a girl and a pale-skinned boy. Of course that theme wont probably be chosen, and the other themes look rather good apart from some less interesting ones. Overall, I think (and sure hope) that the weekend will be rather interesting.

Having an urge to create another platformey roguelike. We’ll see what happens.

Hmm… A certain person from the Daily Click made me think of perhaps starting to work again / redo an older project I was working on last Spring, called As Usual. The project seemed mighty amazing until I realized the gameplay was really monotonous; you could only run, jump & shoot, and the slow pace made the concept seem boring. The idea was that there’d be an action platformer with branching paths, so that you couldn’t actually die, but instead losing would just send you to another path. Not always of course, because that’d soon result in huge amounts of branching paths. I had the game quite much planned out, and I was very happy with the graphics.
After this certain person talked to me and praised the demo I showed off before stopping working on the game, I thought I could perhaps try to redo the thing, this time with faster pacing, and with more thought put to the levels. Perhaps I could make it something like Contra, just with those branching paths and suchalikes. One reason I even started considering the recreation was because I liked many of the ideas behind the game; along with the branching idea, my intention was to put in a lot bizarre and memey stuff, perhaps a bit like things Paul Robertson has made. Though on a smaller scale, of course; Paul is just plain amazing and I could never achieve something as cool as his animations. Anyway, the guns that were in the game, for example, were rather hilarious.
Also I liked most of the boss ideas and enemy designs, though due to the slow pace of the game the basic enemies were kinda boring to fight; they could stand a lot of shooting, and because you had unlimited ammo, you just stood there shooting at them until they eventually died. I guess one of the ultimate reasons the game failed was that I didn’t think about the engine enough; after I had got the main gameplay idea, I hurried to get to work on the actual levels, and only later on checked if the gameplay can support a longer game.
Anyway, I’m thinking of this now. I’d definitely want to use some ideas I had reserved for the game somewhere, and I’d anyway have quite a lot assets ready. The problem is just that this time I’d really have to think stuff through before doing anything. I don’t like thinking.
