I made a simple – maybe the simplest – board game! Its called Hide No Seek and it is available at the a print and play service The Game Crafter. Although if you want to play it you can also just print it out, or write the rules on a card with a sharpie.

The Game Crafter had a single card game design competition. You had to design a whole game with rules and everything on a single poker size playing card. I liked the challenge and ended up making a design I thought was rather obvious. As illustrated by this image of the card:

A while back I experimented with the idea of rendering pixel art using post it notes. That game was pretty bad, but the idea of rendering pixel art in interesting ways was pretty neat. Inspired by past experiences and this painting by tubbypaws I decided to test out if I could render pixels to look like they were painted. The results were surprisingly good, so I crafted a smallish game around that. A big chunk of the game was made at Karlshamn game jam with Martin and Niklas.

Edit: Release 1.1 – Thanks to the feedback I removed the shaking camera and made the movement of the player a bit faster.

I made a small game about cutting stuff. It started out as a tech test for a completely different game. I ended up polishing up the test and creating some levels to it and now it’s a “real” game. And by real I mean as real as a quick and dirty prototype that was created in few days can be.

Dennis will probably compile the OS X version for you mac people out there, and we could technically put the game out for the iPhone as well.

A little while back Kokoromi organized yet another Gamma party. The theme for this year’s gamma was “one button games”. So we decided to give it a go and do a two player version of The Amazing Flying Brothers.

I made a game for the Experimental Gameplay Project’s March theme: 10 seconds. It’s a silly little Flash game that started out as a joke when we trying to come up with game ideas about 10 seconds with Dylan Fitterer. We actually came up with this pretty decent game idea, but it was just a little too ambitious to do. Also we had some political differences inside team about Sarah Palin 🙂
