Game Dev Direct – February 2023 (TomInbound Direct)

Hey everyone, I’m looking to get back into game more regular game development videos. To start this off I thought it would be fun to parody a Nintendo Direct and do my own set of announcements mostly related to new games and updates to old ones with a few channel updates thrown in for good measure. The direct only has 4 minutes of runtime (Please Understand) thought its quite dense on content and to the point! A new devlog series will air straight after the presentation and a few other goodies will also be available shortly after. Hope to see you there!

Learning to be OPEN about my YouTube Channel

I’ve had a presence on YouTube since in some format since 2011. Around this age I assumed all the content I put out was great and would share it with people at school to the point of adding everyone in my friends list into a chat and sending out a video link to my comedy series “life sucks”, I did podcasts and even sang on YouTube on the same channel.

Protect The Green – Trailer (Zombies & Golf)

Trailer for Protect The Green

I’ve just created a new game ‘Protect The Green’, this was created for a game jam where the theme was ‘green’. I wanted to come up with something different and I’d never tried to do a game with fake 3d height before so it was very challenging. It was also a step up from my current ongoing 16×16 project that is side scrolling to a 4 directional 32×32 project. I’m glad I ended up scrapping 8 directional movement art as this would have been a lot more work!

Fragmented Space – Free on itch.io

I recently entered the Weekly Game Jam 210 with another developer. The theme was fragments, we created a game about knocking fragmented space debris into the correct collection zones. We had quite a lot of fun creating levels for this game as we were able to combine a lot of our systems in the later levels. It’s fully free on itch.io and can be played in browser or downloaded here. https://tompouchergames.itch.io/fragmented-space

Hold The Throne – Trailer (Weekly Game Jam 150)

Hold The Throne was creating for the Weekly Game Jam 150 taking place on itch.io last week. The Theme was ‘You’re The Enemy’ I interpreted this as you being able to cause damage to the player, just as enemies can. I decided to go with the idea of your projectiles bouncing and wrapping screens. These projectiles could hit you in the back and damage you similar to an enemy. You can play this in the browser for free here.
