Playing Games, Making Games

Still alive and kicking - I haven't given up on Dokunibi, and there should be a new version out soon-ish: probably next week. I've worked on it a lot and it's got some pretty cool new features. I also got an artist on my team now to help out, which is really nice. Assuming Visual Studio cooperates (and it has a history of being uncooperative) the next demo will have some cool new features. Right now I'm working to add some interesting mechanics that force cooperation between Doku and Nibi beyond the basic "jump on her head".

You can get the new demo here . The core gameplay is finally in there, with 15 levels to show it off. The game will take care of explaining the controls. It's a cooperative platformer. You can play it alone or with a friend - try both, and tell me which one you find harder. Have fun!

I care a lot about about games, and spend ridiculously large amounts of time making them. I've worked in games industry as a programmer, and I want to eventually work as a game designer. This blog will talk about games - sometimes I will talk about my own games, sometimes I will talk about other people's games. --- As of late, I've been working on this game: There's a rough demo version out there somewhere. That's all for this first post. If you care about games as much as I do, you can tell me by e-mailing me: nagnazul (at) gmail.com. If you'd like to help me make games, th...
