Having converted my PC XNA LD17 game to the Xbox 360 via XBLIG, I next used it as a learning experience for Flash. With flixel I’ve now got a browser version (with some improvements to the game, such as medals) so everyone who wanted to judge it during LD17 but couldn’t can now see how little they missed out!

Play it here! Please!

My entry into LD17 got tarted up, fixed a bit, had sounds added, was lengthened a tad, is more girthy, and has just come out on the Xbox 360. It’s in the Indie Games section now so thought I’d pass on the information. There’s an 8 minute free demo, so all those who couldn’t play my entry because it was XNA can now not play my entry because it’s on Xbox!

Instructions on how to find the demo on a 360 here.

Some screenshots and a slightly wry (sly?) video that deliberately tries to misinform the viewer about the game here.

It costs less than a dollar to buy.

Not great quality, and as you can see I spend very little time with art assets and level editor. The video is only 1:09 long

XNA for coding, PaintDotNet for gfx, sfxr for audio (I expect), mappy for level editing (if I go 2d route) and using an already existing simple 2d game as a base. I’ll spend the next hour stripping out everything to get a clean base. I’ll hopefully be doing a timelapse desktop recording (no webcam though), and code snapshots every hour or thereabouts when its running. I may check it works on xbox every so often, although if I do put it out (and sell it on XBLIG!) that will come later…

This is my first LD, so no idea what to expect. The photo also shows that Monster Hunter will be played in the background by the girlfriend to sort of keep me company, and also that my desk looks far smaller and messier than I expected.
