  Lotsa Game Making 07:34 PM -- Wed December 12, 2012  

Boy, I'm gonna be doing a "End of the year" post sometime soon, and talk all about where Hamumu is and where it's (hopefully?) going. But for now, let me just quickly dash out some info on quick fun things going on right about now:

This Friday begins another Blackberry Port-A-Thon. I kinda ran out of things to port after the last one, but I'm thinking since a couple of the games I ported (which were accepted!) were Pirate Kart games I made in 2 hours, I can "port" games I haven't made yet! It'll be another fun round of cranking out mini games. I don't actually know how that will go, but isn't life always an adventure?

What's that you say? There's something more important you should be spending your time on this weekend? Why it's Ludum Dare 25, also starting this Friday! Join in and make a game based on [THEME]! Why, [THEME] is the most interesting topic of all. I like every game about [THEME]. You could also vote on the themes, but make sure you vote for [THEME], it's got to win!!

And not at all this Friday, 2013 kicks off with a bang (and continues to bang and/or kick at a steady pace) thanks to One Game A Month, a really really self-explanatory indie game development commitment. I've signed up. I haven't really considered if it's something I'm going to try to do, I just didn't want to miss out on the early adopter XP. XP is always good to have.

On a final note: Growtopia now includes a complete Santa outfit, and the Sack O' Joy is the first clothing item in the game to possess special powers.

  Growtopia is now in beta! 05:16 PM -- Mon December 3, 2012  

Got an Android device of any sort? Come check out Growtopia! Click here to get it!
It's along the lines of Minecraft - you have a world full of other players, and you chop it up to make new stuff of your own (with no real goals, just build and socialize and enjoy). However, instead of crafting things, everything grows on trees! You create new stuff by splicing together seeds of other stuff, plant it, and see what grows. It's very strange, and totally ridiculous, and it has a /dance command, so give it a try. We could use the feedback.

Eventually it will be available on iOS, other devices, and probably PC/Mac/Linux. But for the beta, we're doing this Android thing (because it's easy to update on Android, unlike iOS!).

  Sneaky Brats Is Done! 11:14 AM -- Sun November 4, 2012  

Hey, go visit Indiebuskers.net and get involved in Sneaky Brats! As an online game it doesn't exactly do much unless you can get a bunch of people on at the same time, but gather your buddies in the Hamumu chat and arrange it!



If you're wondering what it is, it's an online Capture-The-Flag game for up to 32 players. Each player can equip 2 of the 3 Imagination Powers: You Can't See Me, The Floor Is Lava, and Flappy Arms. Using these sneaky abilities, grab their flag and get away!

One thing not too obvious is how tagging works: If you're on your side of the field, you tag opponents (otherwise they tag you!). If you have the flag, you can't tag anyone.

  Indie Busking Now! 11:45 AM -- Fri November 2, 2012  

I am indie busking my game right now, for the next 48 hours or so! Come check it out at Indiebuskers.net! You can watch me do my work live at Twitch.tv/hamumu. And you can chat with me on IRC while I do it! Don't try to chat on the livestream, I am only watching the IRC.

I am developing the idea proposed by Matzerath, "Stealth game where you can cover your eyes to become invisible".

  Indie Buskers, Busking Again! 01:59 PM -- Wed October 31, 2012  

Hey everybody! The Indie Buskers are back with another buskin' good time! If you don't have any idea what I'm talking about, it's an event where a bunch of game jammers take 48 hours to craft games based on your ideas, livestreaming the whole thing, and you can toss some money into the hat as you watch, which is much better than a normal busker performance - you actually get copies of all the games for your money!

Visit Indie Buskers for more info. Visit Reddit.com/r/indiebuskers to submit your own ideas, and vote on which ones we should do (requires a Reddit account. Just upvote the ideas you like best!).

The whole event starts in just under 2 days from now (Friday morning my time), so don't miss out on the amazing wonderment that is Hamumu livestreaming game development. And all the other people doing it too.

Oh yeah, I didn't mention that - I'm one of the buskers this time!! Come check it out!

  Sleepless Hollow Update! 10:44 AM -- Wed October 31, 2012  

SpaceManiac has been at it again! If you are an owner of Sleepless Hollow, head on over to your My Downloads page and get the new beta version. It of course modernizes the color code so it shouldn't require any tricks on Windows Vista+, and it includes some nice editing features that are new. It also includes Blackduck and Moltanem's BHE from last year (two years ago?), the Sleepiest Hollow alternative world. You'll have to do some file copying and moving to actually play that though, as Sleepless Hollow wasn't exactly designed for add-on worlds. What else is new? Good question! I haven't found out yet because I wanted to throw this up quickly to greet you on Halloween! I'll have more info later.

And remember, this is a beta edition, this is the first public test at all, so give it a go and let us know on the forums if you encounter any trouble.

  The Amazing Testing Cooperative 01:46 PM -- Sat October 20, 2012  

The tagline for Dropbox is "Simplify Your Life", and that is exactly what I intend to use it for. For quite a while, I have failed to test addons, and that's not cool to you guys. But now, once I finally got the technology set up to make it possible to do again (for a very long time, I actually couldn't do it, because I had lost a bunch of key files between computer moves), I've discovered that it's one more of the many things getting in the way of me actually making games! I'm trying to do all I can to focus entirely on making games to combat extreme burnout syndrome, so this is one key step.

So that's where I turn to you, the potential future members of The Amazing Testing Cooperative! I've created a Dropbox folder (it's free to join and really really useful!) where I put the Supreme (and LL2) addons that are sent to me, and I leave it entirely in your hands. Anybody who wants to join the Testing Cooperative just send me an email with your Dropbox email address, and I'll share the folder with you.

Now you guys can organize the operation however you want, but the gist is, the addons will be in there, and somebody from the co-op just has to let me know when one is considered A-OK, and I will package it up, mark it official, and post it. The procedures you have for deciding that and notifying me are in your hands, I'll trust you on it.

You'll also be able to upload things to the folder yourself, so you can use that to share notes, or upload fixed versions, or however you want to work it. Power to the people.

Hopefully there's enough interest in doing this that worlds can keep getting added officially, and we don't have to resort to just simple forum sharing!

There's a forum thread here where you can discuss this and work out the details.

P.S. if you want to do this and you don't already have a Dropbox account, don't just make one! Email me, and I can send you an email to sign up with. I get 500MB more space in my account for each person who does this, and thus, more room for addons! I'd appreciate the boost!
