So I have updated the layout a bit by adding the hiscore links. Also, I fixed the hiscore display in Google Chrome.

Not much more, lots of Flash coding is going on.

New Release - Galagian

Maurice Zarzycki — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 10:08:48 +0000

Yesterday was marked by something really astonishing - I have released first pure action game. A space shooter. Called…
Galagian
Galagian was created with Cage, who was the graphic artist, designer (along with me), beta tester and guy from sound effects.
It was only one and half of a week of development to make this game and pretty much I am satisfied with the final effect. Right now we are working on another flash project, and if things go smooth, we will have it done by December.

From the other news though, I have decided to put Poing development on-hold for the time being. The main reason behind it is that I am right now on the final year of my High School education. Soon enough, I will have to go to university. I wanted to move from my house to something of my own, or even better shared. Living on your own requires money, so right now I have finally decided to drop purely Freeware games making, and try myself in other fields.
It doesn’t mean I will never ever make freeware games - No. I will, but not before I create some solid revenue stream (or find a work) and live on my own, which presumably won’t happen before summer break, maybe August, maybe September, or maybe sooner, but for sure not before July.

I don’t say that this site is going to be dismantled. No no no, don’t even think about it :).

That would be it for now. The site will be further updated, just not yet.

New layout

So as you can see, today we have came up with a new site skin, all-blue.
While the base of the skin is still the courtesy of The Cloisters the rest of it is my work. As you can see, I have got rid of the two left sidebars and changed the site to be of Fixed size. Changed the colors to light cyan-blue with gray, and added the Flash menu-logo to the top.

Though, Portfolio and Buy Games doesn’t yet work. Also, some other things are hidden at the moment, like Poing.

That is it for now. I will keep you informed of changes :).

A little update

I’ve brought myself to do a little update.
Kulkis II
Logical Pack I
Qualifier
Happy Runner
Linx
Happy Runner 2

These games were updated, and now should be Vista compatible!
From other news, I know it has been dead here lately. Can’t do much about it I am afraid. There is a lot of work going behind the scenes, and if things go lucky, this week a big site update will happen! Though I can’t promise anything, as for last two weeks, I have almost no free time, I spend all of it to work.

Oh, and as you can see, we have changed logo ^^

That would be it for now. Until later!

MMG: Trapdoorer

Ok, then. Yesterday I mentioned something about making short flash games and my hope to get some money through this. Wherein the game I am about to present might not be the best indication of my skills, I found it quite enjoyable to make. I think it quite neatly grasps the mood of C64 and shareware amiga games. At least I felt like playing some Amiga shareware :).

Mauft Mini Games: Trapdoorer. Mauft Mini Games is a series of short Flash and BlitzMax games I am about to start. Trapdoorer is a first production for this series. as for the description, let me quote myself:

“Trapdoorer is a logical game loosely based on Sensitive from C64, though truth be told my inspiration was D.R.O.D. (The best logic game in the universe, mind you). In trapdoorer, you control golden marble with an eye, which can jump from tile to tile, breaking the one underneath it with jump. There are three types of blocks - Normal, Hard (they need to be jumped off of twice) and Steel (They turn into normal if orthogonally adjacent block is destroyed).”

Unfrotunately, due to me not being great level-maker, there are only 12 levels, but if you feel confident I can pass the level editor to you :).

The game was created in less than 10 hours, and even though it is flash game, I created it using Flex 2 AS3.0, which means the whole thing is coded. And because flash is one irritating language, it was tedious at times.

Either way - Enjoy!
