Like the title says I don’t have time to participate in this compo but I did make a nice mockup and started work on a game. I’ll probably finish it up sometime after the competition is over.

Retro Roads

BenW — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 21:50:26 +0000

I’m posting this a bit late because I’ve been out most of the day, but you can consider this my partial entry into minild6.

I didn’t finish any of the gameplay and its missing half the art and all the sound and music I made. I was trying to stick to the limitations of the original gameboy since it went well with the monochrome theme. All you can do right now is walk around with the arrow keys and make a road using the spacebar. I’m pretty sure if you try and make a road offscreen it will crash, but I haven’t tried it. Anyways, let me know what you think and I’ll try and finish it up some time.

LD10 Postmortem

BenW — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:06:09 +0000

I’ve written a postmortem for my LD10 entry you can see it on my website here. I’d repost the whole thing here, but I’m lazy.

Fixed my final entry

If you were having trouble running my final entry please download it again. I accidentally linked to a debug dll in the release version of my game. I have since fixed the problem and it should run on most peoples machines. I have also tested it under parallels with dx support and it runs fine. Finally I have not received any reports of it working under wine. If you manage to get it running under wine please let me know.

Oh Teh NOES! Game Over

BenW — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 08:44:06 +0000

Here’s my game over screen. Once again, it looks the same as every other screenshot I’ve made.

All of my screenshots look the same

BenW — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 07:09:26 +0000

It may look the same but the gameplay is much more fun now.

First Screenshot

It’s almost playable and all the music and sound effects are in.
