So I'm sure most of you have played some sort of 2D platformer videogame in your life, be it Super Mario, Sonic, Megaman, etc. Well, recently I've been playing a lot of this indie 2D platformer for PC called Spelunky [link] and my mind has been off in video game land.
Well, I think I've stumbled upon a great idea for a 2D platformer, but I'm not confident I could even manage to pull together the resources to make such a thing a reality. I don't want to go into too much detail about it in the event that I do give life to this idea, but it would be a fangame of a particular RPG favorite of mine, but as a platformer, and it would borrow a few gameplay elements from some well known platformers as well. I guess it may sound strange to take a RPG and make it into a platformer, not to mention that about 90% of the fangames I've come across are really tacky and unplayable. And believe it or not, the RPG I'd be basing this fangame on actually has a lot of things about it that would transfer pretty well into a platformer.
I wouldn't even go forward with this if I saw that the result would not be up to my own very high standards and expectations. I think in the meantime I'll fiddle around with GameMaker, possibly throw together a few sprite graphics, and if all goes well, post some sort of one level demo.
Wish me luck, I suppose.
(Oh also, I'm moving to NYC really really really soon.)
Welcome to the first entry of my newest blog. I hope it's an enjoyable experience for you. :)
So, just to refresh the minds of the people that may know me, and for those that don't, I'll start off by saying I'm probably not anyone particularly interesting. But I'm okay with that! I actually plan to use this new blog to push out conten...

... level. Some of this is done by jumping, or using warp stars. The effect of running around these small planets with gravity that pulls Mario towards them, coupled with the camera angles really makes the game interesting, and sometimes even nauseating! But all in all, this game is really great. I've spent the most time with this game, and I really enjoy it. This is by far the best game Nintendo has made in a long time. It feels so much more epic. This is basically what Twilight Princess did for The Legend of Zelda series but for the Mario universe.
Well, I find it kind of humorous that I spend all this time talking about these console and handheld games when only a month ago I bought a brand new computer for gaming. I could go on talking about Valve's Orange Box for PC, specifically Portal, but quite honestly, I'm much too tired. Good night everyone! :)
See from moving a stick and pressing buttons to story lines, great features, great graphics, and record-breaking sales. I believe you see how it went from simple to complex, these aren’t all the games just the ones I thought were the best of both era’s.
Video games started as arcade machines with simple graphics and even simpler stories, soon evolving into home gaming with The Magnavox Odyssey, the world’s first home-gaming console. It invaded living rooms in 1972, selling 300,000 units. Since then there has been many consoles and games released, some have been huge commercial successes which
Do you or any of your friends play video games on a console? If you ask gamers the question, “gaming console you like the most?” they will probably say Xbox One or PlayStation 4. Xbox and PlayStation are known as the most popular gaming consoles of all the time. These two consoles have been competing for a very long time for the throne of the best game console since 2001 until now. In this article, we are going to find out which console has the best advertisement, We are going to determine this not by the console’s hardware, not by its cool features, and not by what exclusive games they have. It is because to grade the games and features are good or bad is kind of difficult because everyone can has different games
Well, this is my first official blog post! Today, I’m gonna talk a little bit about my favorite surgery, the cesarean section!
For three decades, the Nintendo Company has been on the front line of the video game industry. With competitors continuing to develop new video game systems and more exciting games to play with those systems. The Nintendo Company has come up with their own ways to keep video game enthusiasts interests in mind. Even though the video gaming at home did not start with Nintendo, The Nintendo Company did start a video gaming revolution with the release of the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES in 1985. How did the first ad of the NES package have the effectiveness that appeals to video gaming enthusiasts to launch the revolution, as we know it today?
ames have been played before we began to record time. Almost 50 years ago, games changed into a new form. Magnavox Odyssey can be debated to be the first game console. Throughout 50 years ago and now, video games have become essential to every living room and a pastime to every young child. Companies have risen from this new industry, to produce games to young investors and dominate the game world. With new technology, graphics, and software: gaming franchises run mostly by public support. Each decade that passes, games are changed by America’s public these games change based on how the public perceives them.
Platformers will focus on the act of figuring a way to move from one platform, straight onto the next platform. This level of simplicity will only devalue the game for you will eventually come to the same experience that the last person had. All players will have had a difficult time with a certain level, but they will have gotten over the level with a little bit of practice. On the contrary, the role playing genre is full of complexity, such as in Dark Souls, the eternal damnation of those who choose to take on a challenge. In the case of Dark souls, the point of the game is to die in order to get used to the boss, or enemy; this is clearly shown by the 2540 average deaths per each play through of the whole game (Dark Souls Death Counter - Stats). In a game where you have to learn to dodge and attack only where there is an opening to take, there is no room for the beginners luck that is prevalent within platformers. There is a special spot in the hearts of gamers for games that are a challenge for them to complete, but when a game is far too simple and the gamer will reach a point where jumping on to the next platform becomes monotonous, whereas games that keep you on your toes lead to an engaged
I spend a lot of my time playing games like Pokemon, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, and almost any other Nintendo game I can get my hands on.
Every fighter in the 49 strong roster uses the same button presses to execute attacks and special moves but each one has their own unique style that is fun to learn. It makes it simple to play but challenging to master. Bowser uses burly strikes and kicks to bumble foes to submission. While Duck Hunt uses tricky move set of clay pigeon projectiles, explosive barrels and attacks that make playful references to the 8-bit era. Add in Mega man, Samus, Fox McCloud, Animal Crossing Villager, Pac-man, Wii fit trainer, Link, Mario himself and dozen of others and you’ve got something for pretty much anybody who has loved a video game.
It's been a minute hasn't it! A lot has happened in the month of August, from trips, shoots, meetings, school, and walking the catwalk a girl was busy. But now I'm back and better, and I have some exciting news. So lets start dishing!
Limbo is a 2D side scrolling game with a physics engine incorporated into the game. The character is able to interact with most of the objects to solve puzzles or to overcome difficulties that he has to face throughout his journey. Some games that would be similar to Limbo is "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons". The two games have similar controllers and similar physics engines however there are graphical differences.

The past year has been a personal quest to dissect and examine various aspects, memories and situations of my life. For a couple years now, prior to starting this Master’s program, I felt that I wasn’t living my best life and that I had some feelings and memories that seemed to be holding me up. The past year has been filled with narrative therapy and lots of healing work. I believe that each of us carriers our own stories filled with triumphs, tribulations, and just mundane events; but that these stories have shaped who we are, how we interact with others, how we form and maintain relationships, and how we cope with change or hard situations. My story, like a lot of others, has some triumphs, tribulations, and a lot of mundane events. I’ll share just a few incidents in my life, which I believe to have greatly contributed to my worldview and the person I am today.
The company has many different customers to impress with a new system. They must please both fair-weather and hard-core gamers as well as their shareholders. The company will build on the 2006 excitement created by the original remote controls by making enhancements to the next system. With the release of a new console, a new cohesive marketing communications plan will need to be developed and implemented.
