This week has been hectic at the office this week, with a project approaching deadline (nothing gaming related, unfortunately)… It’s a weird project, since it’s web based and we’re using a mixture of PHP/JSON on the server side and GWT/JSON/Java on the client… since I’m new to these technologies, it has been an uphill fight, but it’s been rewarding in its own way…
Anyway, so I don’t get complaints about lack of posts, I’m just sharing some links with you guys:
First off, a game called “Cubesome”… Similar to “Exit”, it’s a platformer that you play on the surface of a cube, with parts of the level in each side; it seems fun:
Also, I found an interesting project for all of those that (like me) like to watch screenshots of games in development… It’s called “Screenshot Saturday”, and it’s a collection of screenshots, extracted from Tweeter feeds that feature the word “#screenshotsaturday” on them, grouped by weeks… You can access the site at http://screenshotsaturday.pekuja.com/. It doesn’t seem to work on IE9, but works fine on Firefox or Chrome…
Finally, I found an interesting tutorial on creating pixel art, which is great for people who lack artistic skill like myself… it gives some really nice pointers on how to improve that programmer art! You can check that out at http://gas13.ru/v3/tutorials/sywtbapa_almighty_grass_tile.php, and following the links…
And that’s it for today… 🙂
I’ll try to have some free time to put up some more stuff this week, but we’ll see…
