Sticky Bump getting close to release

Jordin Kee — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 11:16:48 +0000

Yes! I’m getting there. Sticky Bump has gone through many changes and improvements, but finally I can say the game is getting close to being finished.

Work left is some finishing touches and getting it through peer-review on XBLIG. If you happen to have a developers account for Xbox, please do me a big favor and review my game (I can let you know when it’s on). The quicker it’s reviewed, the quicker it’s in the market!

Some other exciting news: Sticky Bump will be at the Festival of Games! So, if you’re close to Utrecht on the 19/20th of April, be sure to drop by! You can play the game and, hey, even meet the creator

HyperDodge WP7 got updated

HyperDodge for Windows Phone 7 got a real fancy update! It now features Online Global, Online Daily, and Local Leaderboards. But what’s really cool, is that it tells which position you’ll take on the leaderboards, while you’re still playing!
Grab it now if you’re owning a Windows Phone, it’s free and add-free!

HyperDodge is also on FaceBook!

Thanks to my colleague and friend Wouter de Vries!

Sticky Bump video

I held a test session with a couple of friends lately, and made some recordings at the same time. As the video shows… we had kind of fun

It’s still a work-in-progress, but it’s getting along nicely. Won’t be too long anymore!

Announcing: Sticky Bump

Jordin Kee — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 17:56:29 +0000

If you’re wondering what I’ve been doing all these months, here’s your answer. I’ve sidetracked from the Fishbowl a little bit and worked on a small Xbox360 multiplayer game.
A game called Sticky Bump.

It’s a basically a cat-and-mouse game between bumpercars. It can be played by 2 to 4 players and so far the testruns show it’s great fun! Will be available on Xbox Live Indie Games by the end of this year. Hopefully.

And for the Fishbowl fans (if there are any); it’s gonna be #1 priority when this thing is out of the way

“Speedrun for Arabian Nights 2D”

Jordin Kee — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 19:17:41 +0000

Found a hilarious “Speedrun” for my old game Arabian Nights today. As it was Prince of Persia inspired (and partly stolen, I have to admit), it got listed on the Prince of Persia Unofficial Website.
It’s mainly about how to avoid the bugs in the game

Great read with lines like:

Take the sword one screen more to the left, if you want, but that would be ridiculous, because the guards actually don’t awake. Anyway, climb up to the highmost level, press the switch and make your way as fast as possible to the other room, because it could be, that the guard really awakes.

And:

And I don’t think the movement sucks, the sword sucks! You don’t even need it! The guards almost never awake (unless you’re as slow as a grandma) and at the 2nd guard, if you’re right before the spikes, you can’t even shoot!

But honestly, I’m kinda flattered. It’s pretty cool that people take the time to try and write about a speedrun, in a game filled with bugs. It’s the kind of thing that keeps you going. So, thanks Maurice Kaltofen! I hope you enjoyed it

Fishbowl video

A quick video of the game in it’s current state.
Let me know what you think!

New Fishbowl screeny

Jordin Kee — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 19:44:06 +0000

Did a good amount of work lately. Built the first ‘real’ level for The Fishbowl to prove the concept of the game. And yes, I think the work was not all for nothing! Long way to go still, but I reckon this game can turn into something.
There’s a video coming in a couple of days, but here’s a screen of the game already:

The Fishbowl

Jordin Kee — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 17:10:32 +0000

A quick update just to prove I have done someting in the last couple of months.
The FISH-project is now finally moving along. I’ve decided to call the game The Fishbowl.

I spent alot of time experimenting with different types of movement (like jetpack, grappling hook, etc), but ended up with the good ol’ mario-style of movement. My ambition is to turn this into a puzzle-platformer, a bit in the style of the classic Prince of Persia games, with a strong narrative side-story.
Well, we’ll just have to see which parts will make it to the end

VirtuaGym took 4 bikes and Pedal Power to a fair in Amsterdam. Looks like they had some fun.
