Some small news about new Projects

Hey All,


In the now time, I have two running projects. One is a Game and Second is a Poster for my cousin Graduation Project.

The Game is top secret right now but when I have a small WIP to show you I will upload it :) I am working on the engine and arting at same time and I finished about 10% of the engine and no more than 3% in graphics so it need more time.

But What I can say about the game is that its made for a competition in an Arabic Forum called Montada (This is a translated link) where the theme of the competition is Ninja Warriors.

About the second stuff (which is a poster for my cousin graduation project) his projet is Multi touch surface (like microsoft surface) but in more simpler way.

Beside the surface he is doing a pen which can act on the projector output as the mouse also you can use more than one pen.

So I am working on making the poster for that project (Tocco Project) as he is kidna busy and the project deadline is near around two weeks and there still some bugs and issues that must be solved.

By the way he made a blog for the progress of the project so If you are intersted you can take a look (link)

When anything cool is finished I will upload it on the blog. But both (my) projects are still in begining.

Bye for now

New Competition

Hi All,



There is a plenty of competitions out there and I am participating on one on Arabic forum but the game will be in English ofcourse :)

Today I found a new competition on GameJolt not made by GameJolt team but by the owner of GroundZero Website the competition theme is Making a Really Hard Game.

Although it must be hard it must also be beatable :)

The problem in that competition is I know it right now which only leave for any one 3 days before the deadline (6th July).

I don't think I will participate in it as I am busy this period so If anyone intersted this is the complete information about the competition (link).

Hope to see really nice games there :)

News-O-News

Hey All,

I have some good news this time :).


First There is a large competition held on TIGForums its Theme is Adult/Educational Compo. You have the rights to make one of the two themes or both themes as you can make an educational sex game but its some how difficult. The reason for choosing those both themes that they are both difficult and lots of game companies get away from sex games (adult) or educational game as they are very hard to be sold as very specific people will buy it and not all people.

The starting day is today and it last for 6 weeks so the end date is 9th August(midnight). Anyone will enter he must make a topic about his game to show the progress in it (you should post it here) and when you finish you should make the label of the post contain word [FINISHED]. If you are going to make an adult game the topic title must have [18+] or [NSFW] tags.

For more information about the topic here is the original topic (link)

Another thing as I said before, I will make another blog for talking about my college work and software design and anything related to that field. This blog is done by now and I am not only the writer there is another writer there. Mohamed Ibrahim will write about his experince with interviewers. Anything related to computer engineering will be posted there :). My old topic about Vinter Antivirus is removed from that blog and posted there. So the link for the new blog is here.

This I think all the news for now.

Bye Bye

Pace Maker News and Some News

Hi All,


I managed to put Pace Maker on lots of gaming sites:

- YoYoGames
- RoketGames
- 2BeeGames

Beside GameJolt website.

Also I may start in new game couple of days as I had lots of ideas and don't know which idea is rather I do it.

Also I may learn XNA development kit inorder to participate in Microsoft Contest DreamBuildPlay
You may say are you mad or crazy to participate in this competition where lots of powerful guys will be participating. I think that it will be a good experince beside I will be participating with a game with a very strange idea can't reveal anything about it now. I may make a prototype for it using GameMaker or may be not to see the response before I made it using XNA in a better way.

Also learning XNA development kit will enable me to participate in next year Microsoft contest for students (Imagine Cup)

So if anybody of the readers interested I encourage him to participate as he will not have anything to lose if he didn't participate.

Also learning XNA is a good thing which will help you to importing games for XBox if you wanted to go commercial and lots of other stuff.

So Give them a try.

About what I posted for the college work I think I will make another blog with the team whom made the Vinter Antivirus on their website and this Blog will be dedicated for games only I hope so :)

ByeBye
