Fast News and A Request :)

Hey All,
As usual sorry for not posting for a while but I have been busy playing a friend of mine (@theBanov) newest game game (Phantasmaburbia) and its so amazing, you should check it :) Also I had some college work to do so everything is slowed down :( Sorry :(

You could be more updated of what I am doing by following me on Twitter (@amidos2006) as I tweet a lot more than here :)


First thing I am now working on my 2nd Commercial game which is an expansion to Balls game and the game is called All my Balls :) and I started a Devlog on Tigsource Forums where you can follow my updates on the project there :) (Go track the project).

About Alone in the Park till now we didn't get any sponsorship deal so if you know some contact to sponsor could you help us and tell him about the game :) I really appreciate that :)

Last thing I always wanted to be one of the finalist of FGS (Flash Game Summit) so could you vote for some of my games :) and here a list of my best games in 2012 so far Its easy just head to FGS Awards (link) and just fill the data with the game name and link on newgrounds

I hope I can sponsor Alone in the Park so I can nominate it in the FGS this year (I hope so) :)

Thanks everybody for reading my blog (as I never thank you before) without you I won't be able to continue working on my games (feeling that there is someone who likes to follow you and play your games really give me a push to continue).

That's everything for now

Bye Bye

Thats was long long time

Hi All Followers,
I know that it was long time since my last appear here on the blog but I was too busy and still too busy but I decided to make a very quick post for all my followers and friends who still check my blog.

I was saying that I am going to participate in YoYoGames 5th Competition with my game NightGuard I started working on it till I make a very descent engine but afterwards I stopped alittle due to my military training but when I finish the training, me and graduation project team where having a presentation that must be finished in two weeks maximum so we were working so hard these days and I didnt study anything during these days till we made a very descent presentation where lots of people love and we get good marks.

After the presentation we had very tight time before the midterm exams so we had to work hard everyday then by time we stopped for midterm exams because none of us study anything and if we didn't study well for it, Bad things will happen :D So due to all that I missed the YoYoGames 5th competition, so I stopped working on NightGuard but may be one day I will return back to it and finish it.

First lets talk alittle about what I have done in past days:

First about NightGuard:

As I said I made the engine and it works fine (its made by GameMaker 8 Lite version) and made some tiles and graphic asset but I didn't like the tiles alot I wish I had time to change it.

Here are some screen shots for the game:


Second My Graduation Project (Formally called Hello World!):

First of all I have said before that my graduation project by time is an Online Multiplayer Arena game (client server game). We still working on first prototype where you can move and attack (melee attack only).

Since due to very small time remaining an amazing artist (Hassan) decided to join to help us with the graphic assets. He didn't do isometric before but I know he will be amazing :) you can check his drawings here.

I knew hassan from a friend of mine called Ahmed Saker (well known on TIGSource Forum) as they are working on collab project called Fares you can check it.

The game will be a new type of gaming that never been made before (So stay tuned). Till the beta release here are some pictures for flyers and small intro made for by the flash for the powerpoint enterance (which we made at our presentation day):
