Oops

Well, it seems the AVG problem only affects Game Maker 8 files, so looks like my games won't be affected after all.

Everything's fine then! Just ignore me.

Sean 'th15' Chan

AVG False Positive

AVG is detecting Game Maker executables (i.e. all of my games) as some form of trojan. This is a false positive, AVG has managed to screw up again.

If you have AVG, attempting to run any Game Maker games will get the file exiled to the virus vault.

--Ways to get around this--

1. Add an exception to the virus list, you must have admin control over AVG for this.

2. Disable AVG before trying to run these games.


I expect Yoyogames (the company that made Game Maker) will get AVG to reverse this soon, I will update when they've done that.

Backspace Updated

Just a quick update on Backspace, fixed a couple of bugs with it displaying accented characters and added a random play button which instantly loads a text file. Sample texts included means that anyone can play it, even if you don't have MSN. It's a quick, simple game, go give it a spin here.

New Backspace

Put up a new version of Backspace. I fixed some bugs and included three default files to use with the game, a section of dialogue from Wuthering Heights, some choice quotes from Bash.org and a portion of Harry Potter with all occurrences of "wand" replaced with "wang".

More Carpe Universum:



Added meta-ball effects (enemy shields, background). Seriously amped up the distortion effects. And most importantly, I finally got audio syncing to work nicely so I can finally ramp up into content creation and get more levels done.

Battleships Forever

I guess I owe it to you guys.

I haven't released anything new for some time because I'm busy with work.

However, that work involves remaking Battleships Forever in a better engine.

What this means is multi-player, better performance with hundreds (maybe thousands) of sections. Think everything that makes Battleships Forever, Battleships Forever and multiply that by ten.

This will take some time. But not an absurd amount of time, Battleships Forever isn't exactly the most complex game ever.

I'll confirm features, timeline and other stuff as and when I'm able, for now, just hang in there!

Busy busy

I've been busy with work and stuff lately so I haven't got much development done. Here's a couple of screenshots of what Carpe Universum looks like now:

Seize the Universe

Carpe Universum is a SHMUP game that I'm doing on the side. Here's a video:


What's unique about Carpe Universum is the combo system. It combines the combo system of fighting games with a SHMUP. A sample of the moves are demonstrated in the video.

Also, you will be able to roll to dodge bullets. This means that you will never be hemmed in by bullets, if you die, you'll only ever have yourself to blame.

Finally, the forums may go down for a little while, might be upgrading them to PHPBB3 sometime soon.

This was Jonathan Mak's (Queasy Games, Everyday Shooter) rant at the GDC's Game Designer's Rant session on the last day of the GDC. Instead of ranting about anything, Jon wanted to remind everyone what games really are about and did that with balloons.

I helped set up and throw balloons at people.

Made some good friends over at GDC, will post more stuff later I guess.

More BSF on the net

Wheee, more articles about Battleships Forever:

Gamasutra
Gamedev
Eurogamer
Jayisgames
Freewaregames.net

The Encounter Maker is taking a little longer, having some trouble with the file format. My initial intention was to use a .zip format so that you'd be able to extract custom ships from within an encounter file but the .zip file handling isn't working out too well so I might do it another way.

Voting for the IGF is still on. It's up to you to make Battleships Forever a winner in the Audience Award category, so please go vote for Battleships Forever.

BSF Encounter Maker

I got some decent work done on the Encounter Maker today. It's about 50% complete, won't be too long before I release the next version (which will include this).

It'll be pretty rudimentary. You'll be able to set a bunch of ships against another bunch, but don't expect anything too fancy; I'm not about to build the World Editor.

Paying my way to IGF

Quite simply, I need cash to go to the IGF. I've calculated that I would need around SGD$1,500 (about USD$1,000) at least for airfare and lodging.

Battleships for Mak

In an interview, Jonathan Mak, creator of Everyday Shooter and Other Stuff and also a IGF 2007 winner, said this:

"I did play Battleships Forever. That game... man, I needed a roll of toilet paper next to me while playing it. It's like, a teenage boy's wet dream.."

Thanks man :)

The most prominent new feature is the ability to resize the Sandbox to any size you want. Be warned though, it can adversely affect performance. If the special effects become too pixelated in the sandbox, try running the game with Surfaces off.
