Hey All,

Sorry for not updating here for awhile but I was too busy in making the new game and training and lots of other stuff.

About the new game:


I didn’t pick a name for it and there is still lots of works to be done and I wish I can finish it before tommorow at 11:59 pm GMT as I wish to submit it in GameCOG competition. (Oooops my mistake I read the ending date is tommorow but I figured out that it is in August not July sorry)


Second thing is news about new competition that will start on GameJolt next month. I may participate in if the theme is nice. For more information here is the link.

Some small news about new Projects

Posted by | Categories Montada, News, Tocco Project

Hey All,


In the now time, I have two running projects. One is a Game and Second is a Poster for my cousin Graduation Project.

The Game is top secret right now but when I have a small WIP to show you I will upload it 🙂 I am working on the engine and arting at same time and I finished about 10% of the engine and no more than 3% in graphics so it need more time.

But What I can say about the game is that its made for a competition in an Arabic Forum called Montada (This is a translated link) where the theme of the competition is Ninja Warriors.

News-O-News

Posted by | Categories Competition, News, The CEs Blog, TIGSource

Hey All,

I have some good news this time :).


First There is a large competition held on TIGForums its Theme is Adult/Educational Compo. You have the rights to make one of the two themes or both themes as you can make an educational sex game but its some how difficult. The reason for choosing those both themes that they are both difficult and lots of game companies get away from sex games (adult) or educational game as they are very hard to be sold as very specific people will buy it and not all people.

Posted by | Categories Competition, Dream Build Play, Imagine Cup, News, Pace Maker

Hi All,

I managed to put Pace Maker on lots of gaming sites:

– YoYoGames
– RoketGames
– 2BeeGames

Beside GameJolt website.

Also I may start in new game couple of days as I had lots of ideas and don’t know which idea is rather I do it.

Also I may learn XNA development kit inorder to participate in Microsoft Contest DreamBuildPlay
You may say are you mad or crazy to participate in this competition where lots of powerful guys will be participating. I think that it will be a good experince beside I will be participating with a game with a very strange idea can’t reveal anything about it now. I may make a prototype for it using GameMaker or may be not to see the response before I made it using XNA in a better way.
