GGJ 2014, Cats

Hey Guys,

The Global Game Jam 2014 was last week, and it was a blast getting to hang out with cool people to make games.

My game, which is a collaboration with Max Heyder, is MagnifiCat – Anima Meow.

You are Magnificat, exploring a colorful asteroid-field and completing missions given by your commander, Lady Admiral SpaceCat. To avoid deadly sentries you can disguise yourself as an asteroid for up to 7 seconds, during which you are invisible.
Features a Meow-Button, and passes the Bechdel-Test & Diversifier.

Making a Name-Generator

I wrote another tutorial for GameDevTuts!

• Quick Tip: How to Code a Simple Character Name Generator

This one is a Quick Tip, meaning it’s a bit shorter and more to the point.

Copperhead is objectively awesome

Strike Craft Copperhead, the game I made in three weeks for the Berlin Ouya Jam, won!

It made second place, and was praised for its high level of polish :)

Ranking second means I get an Ouya with 2 controllers as prize :D
