“Underwater World”-themed game
Click here to download the .gmx file for the game.
This game was made as an assignment. It had to be made in under 10 hours, and using GameMaker : Studio.
I had the choice between three themes, from which I chose “Underwater World”.
While writing the code, I tried to be as rigorous as possible with semi-colons and indentation, as I realized that my runner game lacked such rigour.
All of the assets in the game, though modest, are original creations.
The goal […]

Procedurally Generated “Runner” Game
This game was created on my free time to better understand GameMaker : Studio.
I used assets gathered on opengameart.org. The player sprite was created by user “Zack Alvarado”, the platforms, by user “E-norm”, and the placeholder background, by user “ansimuz”.
The player has to jump from platform to platform to stay alive to get the best score they can.

Go Game
This game was made as a project for the last year of my “gymnase” studies. It features a Goban which applies the rules of Go (except the “Ko” and “No Suicide” rules).
At the start of the game, the Goban’s dimensions are 19 x 19. The players may choose to play in a smaller Goban by inputting the dimension they wish in the box on top of the Goban. If the players choose dimensions which are smaller than 5, as is […]

The theme is up!
The theme of the conference has been set – we call it M for Mature for short. Let me share a piece by Doris C. Rusch that helped inspire this choice;
“It wasn’t too long ago that a US court ruled that games were not worthy of first amendment protection. They were not understood as adequately expressive or communicative to justify it. Now, games are seen and studied as vehicles for meaning generation. They are […]

New things
I have upgraded the graphics of the Playable ship, now it is closer to completion. I did this by adding some temperature shifts, as well as shadows and lightning. I have separated the engine axle, the turret and the balloon so that they may be animated separately from the ships body. This allows for the animations of the parts to be controlled by player input. The idea is that the player can change the angle of the turret, however the […]
