Hi All,
I didn’t write here long time and I only wrote when it is a new game announcement \ud83d\ude42 but there was lots of things happening before that silence and I didn’t have time to tell you about its results or what happened (because I am a bit busy and lazy :S) so I decided today to write about all missing things here.<\/p>\n
First thing is about my collaboration game “Alone in the Park<\/a>” that has been in-development since ever (even before starting on Clean’Em Up<\/a>) but its now 99% finished just small polishing stuff and will be ready for beta testing and after 2 weeks in testing in that time we will seek for sponsorship for the game (Hope to get a cool deal as the game is nice and we put a lot of work in it) and then the release \ud83d\ude42 Since we didn’t say a lot of details about the game so I made a trailer (it is intended to be funny and don’t show anything about the story) Hope you like it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I think showing a trailer for Alone in the Park is a nice start to the blog and I hope some of you are excited about the game to be coming out \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n In the past few months some of my games got featured so here are the articles if you are interested to read \ud83d\ude42 (KillScreenDaily: Kabba<\/a>) (IndieGames: Clean’Em Up<\/a>) (IndieGame Magazine: Clean’Em Up<\/a>) (IndieCade: Clean’Em Up<\/a>) (Oddities: Connect<\/a>).<\/p>\n I am sure if any of you following me on twitter(@amidos2006<\/a>) he probably known about all these in time (even the trailer;)).<\/p>\n About my LudumDare 24<\/a> Game (Collect<\/a>) I didn’t post here or any where about the results or what happened to it so here is the results <\/p>\n As you can see it is better than Don’t Push the Button<\/a> results but that doesn’t mean its better than Don’t Push the Button<\/a> at all, what makes this game better in results that I cared to make lots of people vote for me (that’s by voting for lots of other people games (which I didn’t do in the last LudumDare<\/a>)) so the overall results of Collect<\/a> became better (although if you played both games you will find that Don’t Push the Button<\/a> is better than Collect<\/a> (in my view ;))).<\/p>\n I am happy with the results and I don’t regret that I have done that game (although on the delivery day I was totally upset and thought the idea is stupid and boring but I think it turns out nicely :)).<\/p>\n Do you remember the game called Find it!<\/a> that I made in 8 hours with Alexitron<\/a> just as experiment for FGL<\/a> to see if short games get sponsorship quicker than long games?, and I think I was correct in the debate with Alexitron<\/a> that the length of the game doesn’t depend at all for getting a fast sponsorship but the quality of the game and how fun it is overall make the sponsoring the game faster and what makes The Power<\/a> doesn’t get a good sponsorship deal(money) as you can’t understand the game and assess it depending on 2 mins or 3 mins playing at least you need to play it for 7 or 10 mins at least before giving it a score (I think it is a silly mistake and we could avoid it by more help from communities to market it or sending direct emails to sponsors (I have done that with The Power<\/a> but I think my email is marked as spam for sponsors as no one replied on me which is weird)).<\/p>\n So we put Find It!<\/a> now on Gameshop on FGL<\/a> and if it doesn’t sell in the gameshop we will release it as a kids game made in 8 hours \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n About my latest game Balls<\/a> as I said before its a prototype of a huge game called “All my Balls<\/a>” and we will start it if the prototype succeeded but that doesn’t happen as the prototype only got few views (3k compared to my other games) and low rating (3\/5 compared to my other games) some may say that may consider as a success for the prototype (yes its true if not compared to my other games :D) and since this game is nice so I decided to continue on larger version (Isn’t being indie cool ;D but it won’t be so huge nor short, you can say a moderate commercial game and if it succeeded will release an update with more content) so this will be our second Omidos<\/a> commercial game (I think;)).<\/p>\n Snayke<\/a> is an amazing game by Alex Szpakowski<\/a> since I loved the game feeling and his retake on classic snake game, I decided to make a tribute game. While I was playing this game and I got an idea for Snake game in a puzzle form and will call it Snazzle hope I start on it to finish it soon (Experimental game so you don’t put aim for long gameplay session) during that time waiting for my new game I recommend you go and grab a copy of Snayke<\/a> and play it \ud83d\ude42 you can try the demo<\/a> if you want before you buy<\/a> the game \ud83d\ude09 here is the trailer of the game<\/p>\n Last thing on this post is that I wish one day I can participate in the IGF<\/a> every year I wish that but I didn’t make a game that I think worth submitting. Every year at that time when I see lots of amazing games and talented indie developers submitting their games to the IGF<\/a> I feel jealous and want to make a game worth submitting ;). At now time the only one game idea I think is worth submitting will be Robotic Arm<\/a> but it will need to be larger and better which will be called Robotic Arm Plus<\/a> \ud83d\ude09 but it is too early to say anything about it ;).<\/p>\n That’s everything for now \ud83d\ude09 and sorry for the long post \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Bye Bye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi All,I didn’t write here long time and I only wrote when it is a new game announcement \ud83d\ude42 but there was lots of things happening before that silence and I didn’t have time to tell you about its results or what happened (because I am a bit busy and lazy :S) so I decided […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[34,24,10,8,44,16,31,42,21,43,15,45,38],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/akhalifa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/akhalifa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/akhalifa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/akhalifa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/akhalifa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/akhalifa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/akhalifa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/akhalifa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/akhalifa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
