Here we are at last. Week 10! For this week, we have Billionaire's Dilemma, a game where you have to spend your money or else be buried by it! https://youtu.be/iovPuFNZKpk This week's game was actually one of the most challenging, which I suppose is fitting for the final entry. It was largely inspired by sites… Continue reading Week 10: Billionaire’s Dilemma

For week 8, we have Nine Seconds of Blood, a fast-paced puzzle game where you only have nine seconds before you starve to death! https://youtu.be/xBvnoV212QE This game idea started with an old Minecraft game called Dwarves vs Zombies. One of the main mechanics of that game is the PROC, (Powerful Rampage Of Course), where if… Continue reading Week 8: Nine Seconds of Blood

For week 7, I've created Blitz, a action/puzzle game based around rapid bursts of movement! https://youtu.be/h1BxrjqAJRk Though it may not be obvious, this game felt like a significant jump in terms of the scope that I've been taking on for these projects. Between modeling and animating the player character and enemy robots, modeling the environment,… Continue reading Week 7: Blitz!

This week we have something pretty different: a laid-back game about trail running! https://youtu.be/P713xcD28Rs This week's game focuses largely on aesthetics and atmosphere, with relatively basic gameplay. I wanted to provide the player with something to keep them entertained, while still allowing them to take in the scenery I had created. I was very torn… Continue reading Week 6: Trail Runner

This week, we have a silly, physics-based action game about wielding a scythe that's also a gun! https://youtu.be/KP_cTC44x5M Now, obviously this idea is heavily inspired by the show RWBY, where the main character uses a similar weapon. In the show, she uses the recoil of the gun to help her move around, and I thought… Continue reading Week 5: Gun-Scythe

For Week 4, allow me to introduce Ghost and the Machines, a tower-defense game where you take direct control of your robots! https://youtu.be/mAwGDI2_Anw Try it out here: https://switchbackstudio.itch.io/ghost-and-the-machines This is another idea that was inspired by a Game Maker's Toolkit gamejam. In particular, it uses the theme of "Only One" from the 2019 jam. Typically… Continue reading Week 4: Ghost and the Machines

For Week 3 of the challenge, we have Light the Silence, an exploration-based game where you have to make noise in order to see! https://youtu.be/V7uJevr09iA Try it out on Itch: https://switchbackstudio.itch.io/light-the-silence This idea more or less sprang up out of the ether, I can't really think of any particular inspirations for it. At first, I… Continue reading Week 3: Light the Silence

It's now Week 2 of my 10 Games in 10 Weeks challenge!
