I tried to make a little AI based challenge this weekend, but it didn’t work out. By the end of September/early October I’ll try and have something cool up. A mini game on the scale of the Samurai Girl game or such rather than a tiny 48 hour thing

Seeing as there was no Tigsource challenge last month, and I have found the things to be good for practice, I decided to challenge myself to make a Powerpuff Z game in 48 hours. I went a little over the time, but the extra time was mostly just tidying up the graphics a little, not the main bulk of the game code. Its got working AI, specials, beams, blasts, three playable Powerpuffs and one snow covered level.

The second ‘Monthly Unofficial Tigsource Thunderdome Jam’ is over, once again there were very few entries despite the fairly large volume of forum interest. Very odd. The theme this time was ‘Everything is Ruined Forever’ so I made a platform game where the world blows up. A lot.

Controls: —————————
Left/Right – Move
Up/Down – Increase/Decrease radius of weapon’s rotation
Up – Talk/Read [?] boxes
Z – Jump (and Double Jump)
X – Fire weapon
C – If energy is full, power up

The first ‘Monthly Unofficial Tigsource Thunderdome Jam’ was this weekend, a 48 hour game development challenge, and the theme was, alas, “Giant Naked Men” – despite this, I decided to enter and came up with the idea of making a tower defence game with giant greek statues attacking cities…
