New Yoyogames contest announced: Handheld games!
The new contest is about handheld games. We have hints that the game, or even GM could let the game be ported to PSP! Me and Miguel (frome my partners Edm-Games)are planning some kind of survival randomized shmup with a lot of weapon upgrades. Game will all be coded by Miguel with me on the graphics. More info will come once we have a more precise idea what the game will be.

New ninja stealth action platformer with awesome art from Punkythepenguin in prototyping!
I am teaming with punkythepenguin to design a new classic action platforming ninja game. It will mix retro but faster paced gameplay of classics like ninja gaiden and megaman, a touch of stealth and a two button sword mechanic. Expect wall jumping, sliding, billet dodging, stealth, and a lot of blood. Graphics will all be made by punkythepenguin while I am on the coding. More info will come.

Saut 2 is planned!
I am planning on refreshing the IP and mechanic, this time made by the full Edm-Games team. Expect new features. Our main focus is implementing a grappling hook mechanic. The engine will be recoded from scratch by Miguel, and art will be revamped by Ed. It might also be an entry at the Kokoromi contest, or we will take our time.

Ninja platformer
I've been working with FGG on that acrobatic fast paced ninja platformer for a while. It's about wall running, air dashing and a rock-paper-cisor sword fighting mechanic. It was in production for a while, but you might see a new derivate of this game as an entry for the Kokoromi contest in the next month.

We don't have that much time to work on Zuwaka, mostly because of all those contests. It is however still in production and we are planning on making a demo, possibly including some of the single player, in the next months.

MABIGAMES is online!

I will blog about the developpement progress of my current games, games I'm planning or dreaming to make, various game design stuff or games I played and loved.

I tend to start too many projects, and this will be a place to dump all my stuff. However, my resolution for 2010 is to not start new projects, and focus on my (what... 10?) current projects. You will learn about and be able to follow the progress on those projects if you follow this blog!
