Sequel 2
Posted by Matt on 2009/Dec/Thu
Today we went in the Mac Suite in music (the teacher wasn’t in so we had to make yet another Powerpoint on a style of music) and nobody did much work. There was apparently two rows of people playing my game Stealth. Now I know it’s popular I think it’s time for a sequel. It shouldn’t take long because I can use the first game as a template, the only thing I need is inspiration for detailed level design. It gets boring thinking of levels and you get into the attitude where you try to stump the player with a ‘They’ll never get past this!’ kind of level. Also I think I’ll get James to help (It’s MattandJamesGames after all) so it’s slightly different.
When making sequels you need to change the game significantly to avoid being accused of reinventing the wheel, but not change certain parts and alienate the core fans.
Practice makes perfect…

Spending My Teens in the Teens? Or the 1ies or the Tenies?
Posted by Matt on 2009/Dec/Thu
We’ve had the eighties (well I haven’t) and the nineties, and the noughties… but what will the next decade be called?
The teens? The Ten-ies? The One-ies?
Any ideas?

The Problem with Jak 3
Posted by Matt on 2009/Nov/Sat
I recently played Jak 3 (I haven’t for ages). It’s a great game, but I’ve noticed a problem.
You get these Light and Dark Eco Powers, so you can grow wings and fly, regenerate health and have a forcefield, and even slow down time, before turning into a dark monster and beating the hell out of people.
This should make you feel all powerful, but it doesn’t. The guns don’t seem to make up for it either, or the jetboard, or the massive range of vehicles at your disposal.
You probably don’t get to feel like some kind of super hero or god until you’ve unlocked the invisibility and invulnerability secrets, which requires loads and loads of precursor orbs. Oh Well.

A book of Junk
Posted by Matt on 2009/Nov/Mon
The ‘Web User’ Magazine officially dislikes Facebook apps like Farmville, Cafe World and Mafia Wars for clogging up the news feed with pointless updates, but has anyone ever noticed how much rubbish people put on there themselves?!
