2 Years of Game Making

These two years were just, wow.
So much happened in them. I remember that I released The Escape at a Saint Valentine's night. The game was made in two days and my inspiration was a flash game called gnop. While I'm not proud of the game itself I'm stunted on how much I've learned in this two years since then and on the things I did. I would never thought I would launch an iOS game two years ago, but I just did it last October.
In celebration of all this I did two things:

1-
For today, and today only, Paper Physics is free. The game usually costs .99$. :)

2-
Today I'm announcing a new game called Sea Air : Lighthouse Festival:

What's Sea Air : Lighthouse Festival?
There's a lot to be determined and there's some elements I don't want to reveal yet, but I can tell you that Sea Air will be a point and click game in a first person view. For reference, see Myst. There will be an extra mechanic thrown in there, but it's too soon to tell.

What are the platforms that will be in?
For now just PC, but if I can I would like to see it in an iPad.

What will be the release date?
That's an hard one. I can't say but since I'm going to try to do this an one man project* it will take a good while until it's finished.

*except music. =p

In an ending note I would like to thank my family, friends, and everyone that supported me and my work. I hope to get better and better at doing games as time passes, but I'll always love what I'm doing. In fact perhaps I'm loving what I'm doing even more each year. So I'm glad that it all started on a Saint Valentine's night.

Paper Physics v1.1, Facebook and Google+ pages and more

Hello there. First of all, I'd like to thank everyone that brought and that is enjoying Paper Physics. It's the game that I've put more effort into and it's nice that people are liking it.
Here's some more news about it:

Paper Physics v1.1:
The main reason of I'm making this blog post is this update. This is a pretty beefy update, since it adds an awesome orchestral music by Vítor Eduardo and the corrects a couple of performance problems.

Flash Demo:
There's now a flash demo of it. It's the iOS lite version sans iAds, and you can find it on Stencyl.com, Kongregate, and on Game Jolt. The demo contains only 12 of the 48 levels on the game, and it doesn't have leaderboards nor achievements.

Twitter, Facebook and Google+:
You can know follow Satelite Play at:

Google+ - https://plus.google.com/b/114782423447323846846/
I'll use them to do giveaways and to post updates.

Making of:
I'll do a three-part blog post about the development of Paper Physics. It was quite a ride, and never expected to have gone so far with it. I'll post early concepts and concept art, too.

Once again, I thank everyone who have been enjoying Paper Physics, and I hope this update will further improve the game. See you next time!

Paper Physics


Releasing on the 31st October

This is my newest project, Paper Physics. I'm really proud of it, I never worked so hard on a game, and its my first iOS game as well, which is pretty cool.
I started it February as a simple Flash game for sponsorship, but I instead went to work on an another game. I started working it for real when I decided to launch it for the iOS with the upcoming iStencyl.
And now it's finished. But what's the game about?

The game:
- It's a physics puzzler with lots of level elements, such as windmills, gravity blocks and even bumpers. The objective of each level is to touch the checkmark blocks, using both timing and logic.





- There are four level sets; Beginner, Normal, Hard and Master, with twelve levels each, so it's a total of 48 levels.



- There's also leaderboards and achievements for extra fun!


And it's all for now! I'll update this blog once the game is out.

(Press Information: If you wish to review this game, contact me at sateliteplay@yahoo.com and I'll send a code to your way)

NEON ON and new project

I really need to keep up with this blog, so I'll do the promise that when I release a game I got to create a new post about it. Twitter serves as an informal "on the moment" feed about my games' development, but I should get this up to date with new releases, specially due to a game to be released that's mentioned below.

NEON ON:

NEON ON is a game that I did for Stencyl's Summer Game Jam. Didn't placed, but at least got a Staff Pick, which is cool. :)
It's a frenetic arena shooter with achievements and power-ups. While I'm happy with the end result I wish I had released some kind of beta to people try to improve the final version. The result of not doing this was the game being too easy.
You can play it at Stencyl.com, Game Jolt or Kongregate.

New Project: 


I don't want to spoil much about it, when the time comes I'll give more details of it. For now I can say that's a physics puzzle game that I'm making for iOS. My next post shall be about this game.

Blackheist

I got some things to talk about. I also (again) apologize for this late update, I should write a post at least when a launch a game, and not a mouth later of when I launch game launch. Anyway:

Blackheist:



I released a new game called Blackheist, which is a arcade game where you control a robot that shoots beams of lasers from its head to defeat evil robots. Personally I think this is my best game yet, but my favorite game of mine's is still Tea Time, probably because of the character design. Either way, I'm happy how Blackheist came out.

You can play it either on Kongregate or Game Jolt.

And it's all. I'll show some of my upcoming games as soon they are in a viewable state (without WIP graphics). I'm also thinking of adding some pages to this blog to be easier to see my games and perhaps one of pages can serve as a portfolio. Until next time. :)
