Hey People,
I know that it’s been all of one day since I last posted, but I’ve done a bit of work since my last dev blog, and I decided that I may as well give you a proper update as to what’s going on. While I’ve still yet to properly go over the various questionnaires that were filled out at the Perth Games Festival, I was able to identify several things that I could work on between now and the end of the semester. So, without stalling any longer, let’s talk about the most recent changes!
Hey guys,
I’ve been working pretty flat-out on other uni assessments since my last update, however, I was able to find the time to take both Samurai Showdown and Small Gods to the Perth Games Festival and (attempt to) showcase them both to the public. I’ve actually been to previous Festival’s as part of the Murdoch student showcase that they do there every year, however unlike last year’s visit which was solely so that I could pass a unit, this time around I put significantly more importance on people’s experiences and feedback as Samurai Showdown has turned into a properly commercial venture and so a great deal more rides on it than ever did on my past work.
This year I once again went as part of the Murdoch showcase and so in exchange for equipment and a space at the event, I had to hand out Murdoch branded items such as puzzle panels and wristbands —the latter of which I gave away so many I was only able to steal one for myself 😦 :P. It was still a pretty good trade, though, as I meant that I didn’t have to worry about bringing anything with me to the event and all the setup was basically done by the time I arrived. Despite this, however, there were some unfortunate technical issues that meant that I was unable to show off Small Gods and so I wasn’t able to get any of the feedback I was hoping for. Anyway, without further adieu, let’s talk about what it was like at the Perth Games Festival!
Hey everyone,
Firstly, I’d like to apologise for the delay for the gap in between dev blogs. Rest assured that I’m still chugging away at these games, I’m just getting swamped with uni work as semester two is slowly wrapping up. Since my last update, I’ve managed to get through a decent chunk of the testing notes I gathered from Playup Perth’s last event and I’ve started implementing a tutorial so that, when I show it off at the upcoming Perth Games Festival, I won’t have to stand around and explain what to do as I did at Playup Perth. So, without further delay, let’s talk about what’s happened!
Hey everyone,
So since my last update on Samurai Showdown I’ve managed to get a good idea of where I want the game to head in the next few months of development thanks to the awesome people at Playup Perth. The actual showcase of the game went fine —aside from my laptop overheating and shutting down three times during the event, and the shared game mode not working for some reason— and I managed to get a lot of valuable feedback which should help make Samurai Showdown awesome. So, with no more delays, let’s talk about the feedback I received and the changes I’ve made since, and the media that’s talked about Samurai Showdown!
Hey guys,
It’s just a small update today as I’ve been pretty busy getting Samurai Showdown ready for PlayUp Perth’s September 1st event. I’ll do a proper write up on what the event was like and the sort of feedback I got, but needless to say, it was a very useful experience for me. Now, without further adieu, let’s talk about the changes I’ve made since my last dev blog.
Hey everyone,
I know that it’s been less than a week since my last dev blog on Small Gods, but I’ve finally gotten around to making that video I promised you and I’ve added some stuff, too. As a result, I felt like now is as good a time as any to do an update on where the game stands now. So without further adieu, let’s talk about what’s changed.
Hey people,
This is just a quick update on what’s been happening to Samurai Showdown in the lead-up to the September 3rd Play Up Perth event. While I have been pretty busy since my last post on the 23rd, I’ve managed to find the time between working on Small Gods and other assessments to tinker with Samurai Showdown (apparently I hate myself and think that working on two games for my game dev class is a good idea :v). In any case, let’s talk about what’s been done.
Hey guys,
As you’re probably already aware thanks to the title of this post, this isn’t a standard dev blog as I haven’t gotten enough done since my last one. However, I have done a significant chunk of work on a feature that’s been desperately needed and I’ve finally been able to grab some quick images!
Hey all,
I know I’ve already written a post for today, but I decided to write about the work I’ve done on Small Gods in the six days since my last post. I’ve also decided to try and enforce a slightly more rigid outline of what’s been done in order to make these kinds of posts easy to read in the future.
I will, however, be keeping this update short due to a lack of images (when I get my first models and/or my logo back I promise I’ll spam pictures of them everywhere :D)
Hey all,
In my last dev blog for Small Gods I mentioned that I was working on another project and that there would be an announcement shortly. Well, this is it!
I’d like to formally introduce everyone to Samurai Showdown. A competitive, local co-op, arcade game coming from Otterspace Games sometime in 2017.
