Hey everyone!
Just running through a bunch of exciting new site changes!
Best Posts introduces a way of archiving some of my favourite posts that I have done or most useful. This will hopefully give the posts that I have spent the most time on extra views and also prevent reposting as I will update these posts.
So I came up with a system last year which I used for a period of time over summer. It allows you to come up with self created ideas which should be triggered by asking you simple questions. I managed to come up with a few ideas I might share one day using this system I made.
Run through the questions below using an existing genre to get some ideas. Continue reading “Game Design: My Idea Generator”
A while ago (18th September 2013) I wrote an article called “What Should Nintendo Do?”. In the article I went over a few ideas that I thought personally thought could help improve and shape the company. I’ve decided to review what I said and see which Nintendo achieved.
I’ve always enjoyed games and wanted to make games however it never really seemed like a viable option until I was in sixth form. I changed which career I wanted to take a lot, from an early age you have to choose options at gcse, when I had no idea of what I wanted to do.

As you may know the site first started as tominbound.wordpress.com and featured some less professional content. However as I am nearing the end of my University Career as a Games Computing student I felt like it was time to update the site design, URL and also buy the domain name. So now whenever you want to stop by the site be sure to go to tompouchergames.com to find game development I have done, opinion pieces and reviews.
If you’re trying to get familiar with the new site the footer at the end of the page contains social media along with a trello page, linkedin and a behance portfolio, if you have any inquiries be sure to contact tompouchergames@gmail.com.
Update: Just figured out why https was crossed out and causing warning its because I added the menu buttons as links rather than directly through wordpress pages or posts. All fixed.

So the Global Game Jam 2016 has come and gone, I worked in a group of 3. I was the only coder in the team, whilst the others helped come up with our initial idea. The others also made all the art and some of the sounds. The game jam was 48 hours long, the longest I have ever participated in, of which we used around 24 hours.

This video is all about how I came up with the designs for DualShooter, due to my current place I am unable to speak as loud or enthusiastically, I hope you enjoy despite these issues!
Happy New Year everyone! 2016 should be a blast, hopefully more projects will come out this year and I will be able to do a year in industry in the second half of 2016 and really get on course to being a developer for a company. I hope you all enjoy the new year and that plenty of great games release =)
