Game 37: Dragondot’s Extreme Beach Volleyball

Nathan McCoy — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 00:33:32 +0000

Sometimes a joke refuses to remain just a joke. Sometimes it becomes an inspiration, and the inspiration becomes an obsession, and soon you’re finding yourself dropping everything else to pursue that crazy idea.

On the other hand, sometimes you just have a whimsical impulse to make a goofy spinoff game.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. Much love from me and the kobolds.

Game 35: RPG: the RPG

After lots of struggling, frustration, and exhaustion, I basically just burnt out on this whole turn-based RPG thing. So here’s a kobold with a rocket launcher instead.

Game 28: Giant Vex

I tried and tried, but with the title of this game being what it is I just couldn’t make a game that was not this game. That being the case, you will not be getting any apologies from me – it was simply not possible to prevent this game from being itself, so I did my best to make this game the game that it wanted itself to be. So go forth and vex already.

Game 18: Dragondot’s Sky

It’s finally here – the sequel to the much-beloved Dragondot! It’s kind of hard to explain all the sources of inspiration that went into this, so you should probably just try it out (and feel free to guess in the comments). Be patient with the download – I wrote a ton of songs for this one, so it may take a bit.
Oh – one more thing that may not be obvious at first: if you move into an area with 20% threat or higher, you’ll be forced to fight rather than passing through.

What are you waiting for? Go play it!

Game 13: The Floor is Lava

Nathan McCoy — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 04:25:09 +0000

This week’s game is about reckless stupidity in the face of adversity. This game was also my Ludum Dare 17 entry (I’ve slightly tweaked the difficulty curve in the version posted here based on feedback after the competition deadline). Jump from sinking island to sinking island, making it as far as you can across the lava pool before inevitably perishing. Collect ice cubes to restore coolth, or pass them up in order to be even more impressive.

This game is dedicated to myself, without whom none of this would have been possible.

Go kobold go!
