Hey everyone!
I hope you all had a great 2024. Here’s a final devlog for the year which added the Penkinos boss fight to my game. It also added a music remix system to a new pause menu.
Thanks,
Tom
An Overwhelmed Game Dev…
Hey,
I’ve just launched a second YouTube channel and I really wanted to highlight the struggles that went into creating the most recent devlog. Feelings of overwhelm, impostor syndrome and lack of motivation. I go into how I managed to overcome these issues on this occasion and talk through what that process was like. It’s different to my normal game dev videos but it’s quite a personal video and I hope you’ll enjoy it as you get to know me better.
Thanks,
Tom

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

Devil’s Diner – Weekly Game Jam 95
I decided to take part in a Game Jam for the first time in a while. This was my first solo Game Jam, in which I roughly spent a couple of days on. The personal gains for this Game Jam were to motivate me to create a game for the first time in a while by forcing myself to stick to a theme and see it through to the end. Devil’s Diner is a memory game about ordering food.
GMTK 2018 Game Jam – VacPac
Hello, It’s been about 18 months since I’ve started a game project due to finishing University and starting a full time job. That’s why I decided a game jam was the best way to reignite my creativity and motivation. I chose the GMTK game jam as it was hosted by Mark Brown of Game Maker’s toolkit who has a brilliant Youtube series on game design. The theme of the game jam was ‘Genre without mechanic’. This means that the game needed to be based on a genre and take away a key gameplay mechanic such as shooting in a first person shooter or not having the ability to jump in a platformer.
Check out my new game! COLOR DOME!
Today I released a puzzle game called “Color Dome” for Android on the Google Play Store. The game is a high score style game and you must rotate the planet to find the correct colours.
RunTapper – 1.4.8 – Out Now
The 1.5.0 update has been split up into smaller updates as I wanted to get the uncapped frame rate update and more accurate timer out as soon as possible. There is also a new logo on the store page you can see below.
Thanks,
Tom
Run Tapper – Next Update Plans
Hello all!
It’s been a while, I’ve just finished my University course and I am awaiting results. In the meantime I’ve thought about additions and improvements to Run Tapper. For version 1.5.0 I intended to implement or question the additions of the following. If an item has (?) beside it then I am considering adding it as a feature and any comments as to whether it should be implemented are greatly appreciated.
- Menu Music (?) – Annoying after long periods ie Level editor?
- In Game Music (?) – Not sure if this would become jarring if music was added to level generation as the game is fast paced. Perhaps dependant on movement speed.
- Revised Audio for surfaces
- Performance enhancements – raise from locked 30fps to locked 60fps
