Ludum Dare game - RocketStep [complete + free!]

It's done!

RocketStep is a fast paced shooter where your weapon is speed and agility.
The only way to kill enemies is to have them kill each other!

In all honesty i'm pretty happy with how this turned out, especially the art (thanks to Dylan).
This may actually be a game that's worth expanding on with things like more enemies + a more interesting map, also sound and some proper wave and progression.

Go and vote for it on the Ludum Dare page!

Ludum Dare - the prelouge

Somehow i've always missed the ludum dare in previous years (well actually last year I didn't know it existed, and before that I was making terrible blender games). But this year gaugepunk games (me as the programmer and Dylan (Obli) as the artist) will definitely be making a game for it!

We have a bit of an idea for a deep sea game, so if the chosen theme sways that way then we will be giving that a go. Though chances are we will end up doing something entirely different.

Lets see how this goes.

Completed game: Keas of Kings Peak (free!)

well it's done, at least for the most part.

Keas of Kings Peak (previously known as 'KeaGame') is a peculiar 3rd person game where you play as a kea (an alpine parrot native to New Zealand) in a closed-for-maintenance ski field.

Without the usual target of humans, the keas eventually formed into rival factions, each with their own fancy base and gang head-wear.

So, how does it work? well you can choose which faction you want to be a part of (the keas of the carpark, the keas of the ski slopes or the keas of the lookout) and then call upon your fellow birds in order to take over the other factions! 

To strengthen your faction you must scout the ski resort to find all sorts of 'human junk' like ski gear and wallets, and steal stuff from other factions who are doing the same... 

The more loot = the wealthier your faction is = the more keas will side with you!

This game was (in the end) pretty much entirely made by me, after the original artist started to loose interest, which is a shame. anyway, this game is FREE! and you can play it in-browser or for download here: http://gaugepunkgames.itch.io/keas-of-kings-peak

Now i am going to be working a little bit more on this game in the near future as it still needs a few little things. keep up to date with all the goings-on on the Gaugepunk Games twitter: https://twitter.com/gaugepunk_games

KeaGame - things and stuff

New news, I'm taking a bit more ownership of keagame now, since the artist (Dylan) will be putting more time into Mosh Pit. 
The 'new' goal seems to be to get off my ass and get this game to a demo/beta state as soon as damn possible, preferably within the next 4 weeks, as I'm off to university and that's sure to slow things down.

Meanwhile, Mosh Pit is still in development, though the programming is practically complete and all that's left is art. it's going to be quite different to the original game-jam version, and will have much more content and a better weapon system. God knows when that's getting finished.

Lastly, there's always the option of finishing off Tsar Roska and getting it to a state where its perfectly playable (but with much less content than i had first planned, sadly).

It's time for dev.
