Messenger Boy, early gameplay

Here’s a little narrated gameplay video of my WIP, Messenger Boy. Please leave your thoughts!

Pocket Protector~!

Here’s a little game I just kind of… Made. Mostly in my free time between frustrations on my current project.

Anywho, I haven’t released a game in a while. I’m always developing game, but never exactly releasing them. I typically get too caught up in making something awesome and usually quit some part through. I’m just putting this out for the hell of it~

I want to slowly develop it onto a kind of clusterfuck of gameplay, as I progress my current project. I don’t plan on being too serious about this. The graphics are tiny and sub-par, the code is hilariously messy, and there isn’t any sound.

With that said, I want your feedback anyway! Please try the game and tell me what you think. I want feedback to get some ideas where to go.

Controls:

F4-Fullscreen(recommended) / Z – Attack / X – Flamethrower(lolwut??) / Arrow Keys – Move character

You can download the game with the link below, at Host-A

ohai thar.

Teaser! Food for the mind, whatever. Leave comments?

 

Yeah.. Leave comments.

Semantics: ‘that’s not Indie!’

Recently I’ve been noticing an increase in semantics over the term ‘Indie’. Indie referring to an Independent game developer in the gaming industry.

It’s a topic that’s very easy to fling yourself into a debate of semantics over—The word independent itself is cause for debate. In the game industry, deals are often made with publishers or distributers to market games. This obviously applies to independent studios and teams as well—They strike deals with bigger guys to get their product out there.

So what bugs me is this constant semantics debate of what is and isn’t Indie. I’m not going to try to define Indie, but I figure so long as you have control of what you make, and you want to call yourself that, then you are! It frustrates me how people are arguing over it. A game is, I say! If it’s a good game, who cares who made it?

This strikes me directly, as I consider myself to be Independent.

If you read this blog and the issue strikes your interest, makes you mad, whatever—you should leave a comment below. Especially if you think this is a pointless thing to blog about and I just wasted your time. Leave your opinion!

I’ve received a new Sony VAIO E laptop which I’m gracefully working my arse off to pay for. This post is coming to you from said VAIO E laptop.

This laptop will greatly improve my mobility(and therefore productivity), so it’s a blessing.
