Hey all, I can only say that its long long time this time more than every time before :S.
But really it was out of my hands as in my country every person have brothers must go to serve the military for at least one year which something sucks :S so I was busy in finishing some papers + I was trying to work hard on my new Collab Project With Alexitron trying to finish it before going to serve in the military, besides I was some how depressed because I dont want to go serving I just wanna make games :) and Hang with you guys even on the blog here (which is virtual hanging).
First lets talk about my projects :) before talking about indie game world.
First thing about Mountainer :) the new graphics made by Tomas Barrios is nearly finished and it looks stunning.
Here are some screenshots in the new version compared to the old version and tell me what do u think(press on the picture to enlarge it)
Second thing I will talk more about my Collab Game its................ .................. .................. .................. Take a guess, Its a nice game made by Alexitron. No one hate this game all people love it, and its talking about treasure hunter ...... Do u know it? its easy ..... very famous and nice and amazing .... ... ... ... ... Your Right its a port for The Power game :) YaaaaaaaaaaaaY and its not exactly the same game, some parts of the game have been redesigned and altered to be more amazing to play now around 70% of the game is finished.
By the way I am the programmer for the game, Alexitron is the Graphic and Game Designer for this amazing game, Brother Android and Pgil are the musician for the game :) Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay its amazing group I work with :) isn't it????
Here are some pictures of the game ... and soon I will make a sponsor video and gameplay video :) for the game.
The game is tested by the help of Poppenkast community and it gets nice and amazing feedback here are they:
- Andy: hey yeah, i've heard of Amidos. He's cool and he's really active in the indie world and just overall has a good presence. good luck on the project, guys! - Andrew: this is exciting. good luck buddy, keep us posted! - Stampede: Super! The Power was really good game. You gonna get lots of players with this! - Pgil: Sounds like things are going nice. I loved the Power... - DeadHeat: The power was great fun, hopefully this one goes just as well - Br.Android: The Power is awesome by the way. - Br.Android: Also also, this project is turning into basically an orgy of talent, and that's superexciting. - Alexitron: Awesome ! Amidos is so cool to work with - ChevyRay: Lookin great babe. - Andrew: this is shaping up great.
At last the game features lots of simple and small tracks that are really nice. So I am thinking that we should publish after the game finish The Power OST :) WOW :)

Hey all, I know that it has been long time since my last post here :S, which is really sucks I should return posting frequently here again.
First of all Mountainer have been finished (from coding point of view) using FlashPunk and now its over FGL getting feedback and waiting for new graphics made by Tomy (Artist of Hello World! project).
Here is some screenshots from the game and soon the demo video will be captured :)
About working I wanted to join Ludum Dare 18 either the Jam or the Compo but since I was too busy so I couldnt finish my entry which is called U.F.O.
I dont know if it will be nice or not but its idea is very strange :) Hope its good so I will try soon to finish a WIP for this game so as to test it.
Here is some screenshots from what I have reached till now in it.
Third project is a collab project between me and Alexitron, where we are going to remake one of his old games :) lets keep it secret for alittle bit and next post I will reveal it.
This is the news about my projects and stuffs, Let's take about the indie scene :).
Since I was talking about Ludum Dare; people there made lots of nice games in 2 days and every creator afterwards made a video called Timelapse where he shows the two days in about 5 mins and how he was working on the project, which looks nice.
Here is a video for Jonathan Whiting (he created a game called Collateral which is nice game)
Warlock Bentspine game soundtrack is released for free, by the way the game is very nice and you should try it (link).
Lets talk about Indie Game Movie :) They released another teaser which is a talk with Adam Atomic (creator of Canabalt) he talks in the video about this game specific.
At last FEZ Physics article has been posted by Polytron here is the link.
Thats all for now :) Hope to post at regular intervals rather than long times.
Long Long Long Time, I know that but I was too busy working on Hello World! as besides its MMORPG game I want to make its my graduation project in college and my delivery date was last Monday 26/7/2010 and I want to deliver a stable bug free version but this version was containing minimal features but stable at same time.
The main supported features in this version was moving, wearing equipments, pick items from ground, throwing items, melee attacking, ranged attacking, leveling up and assigning attribute points.
Then I stopped working on it because I was having bad week due to that I have to make some paper for the military services in my country so It took from me lots of time. So I was having no time either for the blog or the game :S which is a bad thing but when I became by now free again I decided me and my friends on Hello World! project to continue working on it till the IGF competition as we aim to deliver it into IGF 2011.
I will continue working on the game as soon as possible may be we will start this weekend :) I dont know.
Another piece of news is that GameJolt made a GameJolt Jam this past weekend and I participate in it with a nice person called Bret Hudson since he is still not proffessional in flash like me so we decided to use GameMaker 8 So I started making a game called Mountainer where you play with a mountain climber whom wants to get to the highest part in the mountain. The Game design and art (I made it) the code at the begining was made by Bret Hudson but since he was busy so I made the code (but he started it).
You can try a simple demo made for the Jam in this link.
I decided to continue the game but I will first port it to Flash using FlashPunk v1.3 so that to learn it as the only thing I learn was FlashPunk v0.7 which completely differ from v1.3.
After my game news lets talk about indie news in the scene :)
