This is a funny flash game where you have one minute to find a way to save the drowning boy in the pool. It is a little morbid but it’s really funny and memorable and people like games that surprise them. This was a project that was made with another artist and a musician.

I will be away from March 7th through the 9th to head out to San Francisco for the Flash Gaming Summit. I will be taking many pictures and I will be sharing them here on my blog with you.

I will be reachable by phone if you need to contact me otherwise please have a great weekend and I will talk with you on Wednesday!

So last summer I started a project with another developer online.  To make an action puzzle platformer game.   I have been working on this game for months and months now and after many ups and downs it’s nearly done!   I have spent all night putting elements into the game such as leaderboards, an intro and ending animation.    I’m working on the menus tonight, I am still waiting on some new music for the game to be completed but hopefully that won’t hold us up to much.

The game’s name is Primary.  It is about your character named Roy who is a man made of color, he can phase between the primary colors, red, yellow, and blue.  When he phases his body and his powers change, allowing you to solve puzzles and fight enemies.

It’s hopefully going to be popular, though you can never really tell.  I have been developing flash games for a long time now and this is one of my more complex personal endeavors… and though I don’t expect it to be a Bejeweled type hit I do hope for a few million plays in the first month.  That would be nice.

I have had several things happen to me while I was developing this game.  I became an uncle, I started freelancing again, and I started the meetup group that I have been leading.  I’m sure there are many more things but those are the big ones that come to mind.  It’s funny how I look back on my games and I don’t think about the games or the money that I get from them… I think about what happened to me in the time it to to develop the game.

When making a game the developer knows that game inside and out, and honestly by the time you are done developing and testing a game you can’t stand to see it anymore.  It’s a ton of work and anyone who creates games does it cause they love it.  So I’m really excited to be done with my new game and about ready to send it out into the world to sink or swim.  I’m so nervous… I hope it makes friends.
