Programming Diversification!

2011-01-26T08:07:00.000-08:00

After much deliberation I have decided to use both Gamesalad and Corona SDK. Gamesalad will be used mainly for less action intensive games, which don't put a strain on the engine.

Corona will be used for high action games which need to keep up a high framerate and don't pause when objects spawn. Also this will allow me to add openfeint. One of my first projects will be to remake Bounty Hunter in corona, adding in openfeint and other improvements suggested by reviewers.

Most communication will be on twitter so follow us at http://twitter.com/#!/Biffcogames

Ballurst and Ballurst Lite

2010-07-25T03:39:00.000-07:00

I am currently developing my latest game, Ballurst.

It is a balloon popping game, which eases you then ramps up the difficulty by increasing speed, different balloon colours and number of balloons.

The aim is to only let the specified colour balloon reach the top of the screen, all other colours will lose you points.

In basic mode it is always the green balloons you need to avoid popping.

Advanced mode will change during gameplay and advise you which colour to avoid!

The full game will have 90 levels, 3 difficulty settings over the 2 game styles.

The lite version due soon has 8 levels and is only the basic game style!

Latest game developments

2010-07-24T17:30:00.000-07:00

Also due soon is Light Speed Lite!

New Iphone Game! Target Takedown

2010-06-10T11:20:00.000-07:00

Here are a few shots of my latest game. It is a shooting gallery game. The game has two styles of play, time or score. Each style has its own career and practice mode. you start with 100 bullets but can gain more by hitting the icon when it appears. The game has just been submitted so should hopefully be out in a week!

Latest Light Speed update

2010-05-26T02:25:00.000-07:00

I am approx two thirds of the way through updating the light speed game engine. It should improve responsiveness. Due to the increase in frame rate it is knocking the audio slightly out of sync, so I am fixing this as well. Should be sent to Apple by friday.

The update will also remove a bug which allows you to start at any difficulty level without first doing the easier modes. The game should make you play the easy mode, once thats done you can then start on easy or medium, and the same goes when you complete medium mode, it opens up all three.

I don't think I am going to create a HD version as the SD version should upscale pretty well.

Here is a review by a gamesalad forum member.

Light Speed V3.0 and Light Speed Free Edition V3.0

2010-05-04T15:01:00.000-07:00

I have just submitted the latest builds of light speed to the app store. Hopefully should be approved for the start of next week. Heres some pics of the new look. Im going to have a rest for a week before starting on re-editing the audio to be less choppy.

Light Speed overhaul

2010-04-27T08:59:00.000-07:00

Heres a screenshot of the new look for lightspeed. I was going to release it as a new game but would have felt like I'd cheated the people who have already bought the game. Its going to take a while.

Light Speed HD

2010-04-26T03:09:00.000-07:00

I have just decided that as I am overhauling the graphics on lightspeed, I may as well do a HD version for the Ipad and next generation Iphone. Not sure when it will be completed tho.

Feedback for Light Speed

2010-04-26T02:33:00.000-07:00

Thanks to people who have given me feedback for Light Speed.

Feedback has been pretty positive about the overall game idea. The main suggestion is that the graphics (lights, icon, background) are given an overhaul. Im now in the process of doing this using sketchup. It already looks much better and I've only done the lights.

I have an update ready which will allow you to play the game in either orientation. But I may hold off and combine it with the release of the updated graphics version.

Light speed updates

2010-04-19T06:22:00.001-07:00

I have almost finished some updates for light speed which will allow you to start from medium and hard stages once they have been reached. This saves you having to repeat the easy stage every time.

Latest: The latest build has now been sent to apple, with the free edition soon to follow

Apps in development

2010-04-14T15:18:00.000-07:00

Lightspeed (full)

Currently Im updating the code to include an option to begin on the harder stages when you have reached them.

Snooker made simple

This app shows a player how the snooker table should be setup, and also allows the players to keep track of scores by touching the ball they have just potted. This one is in early dev at the moment

Un-named driving game

This will be a top down rally time trial game, hopefully with several stages taking over 1 minute each to complete. This is still in the design stage.

Screenshots of Lightspeed

2010-04-14T15:14:00.001-07:00

Now my first game has been accepted I will show you some screenshots.

The aim of the game is to remember which lights are on, then when the music stops, touch the lights which were on. You need to do this before the music begins again otherwise its game over.

Light Speed now on app store

2010-04-14T15:09:00.000-07:00

My first game has been accepted on the app store, I will post a link to the app when I get one.

I'm now going to send off the free version.

First iphone app sent for approval!

2010-04-10T14:39:00.000-07:00

I have just sent my first iphone app off for approval. Fingers crossed!

Its a speed based memory game, it got quite addictive for me in development, always a good sign! If the full version is approved, I will be uploading a free version.
