Get Lost Revisited

site admin — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 20:11:40 +0000

While doing some work on Get Lost to prepare it for syndication, I thought I would release some of the maps and other walk through materials.

Here is a depiction over the Over World:

Over World Labeled
Over World Tube Transport Grid
Over World Accessibility Map
Over World Item Finder

And here is the item chart for handy reference:

What follows are pretty severe spoilers:
Room Mortality Guide
Room NPC Guide

Looking back I’m definitely pleased with the look of this game, but have to admit some issues with the flow of gameplay. It definitely needed more directional arrows.

While on a drunken bender I commissioned one of my artist friends to paint a portrait of our cat dressed up like Emperor Napoleon. Instead of an indignant refusal, he vowed to get to work on it right away as long as I could produce a suitable mock-up for reference.

Will the real painting hold up to this, or will it ruin my wedding day? Only time will tell.

I am unrolling some new design elements, the new blog layout is mostly done, other sections will follow.

Comments on old post

I’m trying to troubleshoot an issue with the blog getting thousands of spam comments in moderation every week; currently I’ve turned off commenting on older posts. I was hoping WP-reCAPTCHA would help block the traffic. It apparently did not.

If anyone is interested, this isn’t a new problem, it just seem gradual spamming overtime has built up to this level. The askimet plugin is working fine, but I’d prefer this volume of spam not have to go through the database at all. If anyone has had experience with this and has advice let me know.

Steamshovel Harry was getting such a good response I whipped up a movie poster for it. Click for the large version.

Another game of mine went live today at e4.com, Steamshovel Harry.

After making so many annoying games, it was nice to put together an enjoyable, straight-up scrolling space shooter.

Special thanks to Brad for his work on the soundtrack, it really is an inseparable part of the game.

Hilarious Get Lost Walkthrough

site admin — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:27:16 +0000

I just stumbled upon a hilarious “walkthrough” of my most frustrating Get Lost game, which I am making some code update to in preparation for syndication.

I really need this gentleman to narrate all of my games.

Curse of the Red Ninja

My latest game, Curse of the Red Ninja, has gone live on E4.com here.

In this game you cannot fight Hamlet.

There are no vampire yetis.

This also never happens in the game.

Mysterious Trivia Drawings

Instead of being helpful at trivia night, I prefer to draw unintelligible pictures on the remaining sheets of official trivia paper, forcing my team to forfeit.

Apparently I can draw Zoidberg from memory much better than Bender. Please don’t sue me Matt Groening.
