My New Year's Resolutions

It's that time of year, so I'm going to set some goals for the near future. I've been really busy with work lately, but I'd like to post more content here:

Chain Jam Afterthoughts

The Copenhagen Game Collective just started a new style of game jam called the Chain Jam. The gimmick of the jam is that everyone makes a very small game for four players, and after a minute the players are funneled into another game, with the scoring staying between games. It's a fun idea, and easy enough to make a game for.

I made a game for it, called Four v. Horde. It's basically Left 4 Dead, but simpler, top-down and made by me in most of a day (instead of a semi-competitive FPS made by Valve over a year). Players try to kill the most zombies without being killed themselves.

While making it, I realized a few things about the Chain Jam concept:

Unnamed New Game - Gravity Test

This is just a little thing I was working on right now. Eventually this will be part of a real game. Eventually.

It's pretty obviously incomplete (there's no background, or loss condition, or menus, and it doesn't keep spawning things as you move away), but it's almost a start.
You can move the "player" (the one at the center of the screen) with either WASD or the arrow keys, add new bodies to the simulation with the numpad's plus key and reset it with the 'r' key.
