In Depth Look at Project Conquer Alpha 0.2.4

The short clip show in the Alpha 0.2.4 video didn’t fully show off the additions that were added between versions so I decided to do a longer video detailing these features along with the UI system which is hard to describe in a normal trailer. Therefore I decided to do my first voiceover video! I hope you enjoy :).

Thanks for watching,

DualShooter Gameplay (my student project from 2014)

DualShooter was a pc game (later ported to mobile for personal use) that I made in November of last year. I never uploaded any footage because I was unsure about whether it could be uploaded. Since its been marked I feel like I can show you footage of the game. It was in development around 2/3 months.

Project Conquer Alpha 0.2.4

I’ve been relatively silent on project conquer which was rapidly making progress, because I put it on creative hold 3 weeks ago. This is so that I can fine tune the direction I want to take the game in. I want to make sure that the goals are carefully laid out ahead, so that the project does not go off course and prevent it from trying to add unnecessary elements. To make up for this I have made the Trello Page public, and you can vote on elements you wish to see prioritized. This page can be viewed here.

5 Days of Development – Project Conquer (0.1.9)

This site hasn’t been active in a long time, due to University work where I do Games Computing. Now that my first year exams are over I’ve taken to develop a game or games over the holiday. Here’s a look at Project Conquer.

Any comments on here or the YouTube video will be taken into heavy consideration due to its early development. A trello page for the game is currently private but will be made available soon. Maybe I should get one for the Site as well to increase my activity.

Enjoy,
Tom

Cloudberry Kingdom Review (WiiU)

So yes, this Christmas I was lucky enough to unbox a Nintendo WiiU. It’s been incredibly difficult to spend enough time with some games in order to give them a review score hence the lack of posts. Anyway Cloudberry Kingdom is a platformer which purposefully has a high difficulty ramp. At first glance the first few levels might seem easy and just look like a generic grab the coins and get to the exit type of game. Read on to find out why that’s not true.

Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS) Review

Image

Kid Icarus finally got a revival, it’s move to 3D was drastically different and a lot of fun.

I never really got into the original Kid Icarus partly because I was awful at it, either way until Super Smash Bros Brawl I never would have imagined how much of an important IP the game was. Pit was one of my favorite characters to play as in Super Smash Bros Brawl. I was originally quite skeptical because I had never really ventured into the genre of on the rails shooters apart from Lylat Wars on the N64(which I loved), and also the line Pit said in the trailer “Sorry to keep you waiting!” IT’S BEEN 25 YEARS PIT! Anyway on with the review.

Super Meat Boy (PC) Review

SuperMeatBoy

I knew before reviewing this that I was going to review this game highly, as the second game I ever purchased on Steam the first being Plants Vs Zombies. Super Meat Boy is an incredibly polished, difficult game that is incredibly rewarding. I’m going to make a bold statement here as a bit of a Mario fanboy and say that the controls feel as slick if not slicker than a Mario game due to the split second reactions needed and the sense of control when in mid-air. Read on for more information..

Dungeon Defenders (PC) Review

Image

Dungeon Defenders is a Tower Defence style game which sees you protecting the Eternia Crystal.

Dungeon Defenders is a game I played last year over the Christmas holidays with my brother. I put tons of hours into the game (54 hours according to Steam), it’s quite addictive however after playing multiplayer so much Singleplayer doesn’t interest me. If you have friends or love action and tower defence games read on.
