The first iteration of new action game Sense: Survival Prelude is now available for immediate enjoyment on Spell of Play's hUb!

Go play now!

Then tell us what you think of the game so far here!

Enjoy! (and tell us what you think )

The first iteration of my new game project has seen the public light on hUb! So why are you still here? Go play it now!

Oh you kept on reading did ya? Well then I might as well tell you a little bit more. The name "Project L" is very much a working title. I definitely suck at game names (T.W.T.P.B. anyone...) so I'll wait for a while before nailing something down.

Also, it's not much of a game right now... mostly a set of controls and some world collision. Can you make it to the top? Actually.... what is the top... up is so relative from here

Anyway, the project (L) has officially started and I'm looking forward to your ideas, suggestions, impressions, comments, bug reports and what not! Remember you can be part of this game by contributing and feeding me!

I plan on continuing with 2 week iterations that works so well (for me) so there will be another release sooner than you think!

If you've missed out on indie game World of Goo, your in for a treat, you can get the full version for a mere $6.99 which is an absolute steal for that game.

World of Goo is a stylish, physics based puzzle game where you use globs of goo to build structures like bridges, towers and the likes to reach the exit. On top of this there is a really cool storyline, excellent controls, stylish graphics and awesome music. To tell you the truth, games don't come much better than this

So what are you waiting for? Go download World of Goo and give it a shot! You get a 60 min free trial and if that's not enough to get you hooked I don't know what will

Since SoPCON 1 I've been really busy with vacation (also know as try to paint your house) and some small side projects. Things are soon back to normal though as I'm headed back to the university next week.

SoPCON 1 came and went all to fast. It was really awesome to meet both new and old friends and I'm still super inspired by all the great feedback on hUb, our approach to development and the games. Amazing when you think about it that people actually come to spent their precious free weekend time to be creative and develop stuff. Kudos to you guys! There will definitely be a next time in some form or another!

While the first SoPCON was much a test, a free range of exploring, socializing and being creative. Possibly the next one will be somewhat more organized possibly with some workshops, compos or something to steer the event a bit more.

I personally did two bad things, first I did not make a game release. This bummed me out for a bit but since I'm really inspired now I've worked some on it and hope to make a release next week. Also my brain was quite fried Sunday afternoon so in retrospect it was not that strange that the coding did not come together as I wanted it to. The second bad decision I did was to drive home right after SoPCON, it's a 400 km drive and considering my lack of focus and being really mentally tired I'm happy that all went well.

Next time I'm definitely taking a good nights sleep before thinking about driving.

Anyway, I've got tons of inspiration, feedback and I'm itching to get a new game out there so less of the blogging and more of the coding!

I've posted a small update on Sense on my blog. Only screenshots this time because i need to work out some things before the next video. There's also some thoughts on the next steps of the game and a link to the design document i'm using (if anyone's interested in crazy but slightly structured notes).

Well, enjoy: Sense update with screenshots!"

I've hinted in the forum that we're working on a new game. I've now announced it on my blog and will continue to post updates with videos as substantial progress have been made. Hopefully i get to release the first iteration on hub later this year if Spell of Play let's me

Well it's called Sense: Survival Prelude and is a 2D cooperative survival action top-down game based on the three senses touch, seeing and hearing.
