This is my 12th done-in-under-a-week game. It’s also my Assembly gamedev competition entry. Which means it was published on the Assembly website a bit earlier than it is published here. And thus it “leaked” to the internet and was blogged already by the2bears, indygamer and soldat movies.

The game is open to harsh critique and wish me good luck at the Assembly gamedev combo.

It’s hard for me to believe that this is already my eleventh experimental done-in-under-a-week game. This is a new take on the one button design challenge (previous one from me being Moo at the Moon).

And as usual the game is open to harsh critique.

My April Fools’ joke worked like a charm. The Divorce managed to fool some of my regular readers, most notably Bill of the2bears.com, who actually blogged about it And I also got an much needed extra day of development for the Forbidden.exe.

So here’s my real 8th done-in-under-7-days experimental game, which is a bit different from my usual style. It’s an experimental horror game. So be warned, there’s harsh language, violence and other fun forms of violation. One could say that it’s an experimental violation game.

The idea for the gameplay came from my talks with Daniel Benmergui at the GDC. After the Nuances of Design session, we talked about the idea creating a game (for the Eerie Horror Film Fest), where the gameplay would communicate that feeling that you get from watching a good suspense / horror movie. So here’s a elaborate prototype of that idea.

Forbidden.exe

Here’s my 8th experimental done-in-under-a-week game. I was inspired by Rod Humble’s The Marriage and decided to create my own abstract art game, where I crafted the rules of the game to communicate how I felt about my parents divorce.

The Divorce

Download
Divorce.zip (49 Kb) (Release 1)

The Games meaning
I recommend that you make your own interpretation of the games rules and their meaning, but here’s what I had in mind.

The bats are of course my parents. My parents are very long and thin, so this is represented by the shape of the boxes. The ball is an unwanted child of their marriage. I was quite young when my parent’s divorced so, that is represented by the size of the ball. Goal of the game is to score 10 points in court to ensure that the child doesn’t end up living with you.

The new year is here and so is my fifth (I can’t believe it’s already fifth) done-in-a-week game. And it’s my first two player game, although there’s also a single player mode available. But the game is definitely meant to be played with your friend on the same keyboard.

I proudly present my fourth done-under-7-days game: Cacodemon’s Barbecue Party in Hell. Actually it’s my first Game-In-A-Day (GID for short) game. Not surprisingly, the idea of GID is to create a game in day. To be honest I did cheat a little, I created the game in the course of four evenings and the total time spent on the development is 23 hours 30 minutes. So in theory its done in a day. Well anyway it’s done in under 7 days and that’s what matters to me.

Cacodemon’s Barbecue Party in Hell

Download
Cacodemon.zip (5.2 Mb) (Release 1)

Instructions
Mr. and Mrs. Cacodemon are organizing a barbecue party in hell. Unfortunately that means there’s some work to do. You play as Mr. Cacodemon and you have to pluck and grill the kittens.

To pluck the kittens you have to spin them in the air rapidly. After all the hair is gone, throw the kitten in the hell grill (the opening in the left side of the wall) for even better score.
