Look, I like cars. No kidding, I really do. My first contact with the genre was Need for Speed II SE, a really old game for PC for those too young to remember. And I never really liked any other NFS game after the third one, which featured an amazing chase mode (being the PC [...]
Ok, here’s a short one: A friend of mine pointed me to this really interesting homebrew DS game/app simply called Colors! Simply put, is a tiny but rather impressive painting app for the DS. It makes full use of the little console’s pressure sensing technology for some awesome results. Here are some work made with [...]
I’ve been a happy Ubuntu user for the last few years, giving some distros a try from time to time. For one reason or another, I always go back to Ubuntu. Why is this? I’m not really sure, most likely because, 90% of the times, Ubuntu will do most boring admin tasks on its own [...]
And the All Mighty Banner Game Competition came to an end. While the final result is far from surprising, I’m happy that Zoomer didn’t make it the last. As I said before, I’m really happy I was able not only to finish a game, but finish a game that’s also more or less playable. Congratulations [...]
A few years ago I stumbled upon some japanese dude’s website where he published a few games he had made. I’ve always been a vertical shooter fan, specially japanese ones with bullet hell (some people calls them curtain shooters), and this guy (Kenta-Cho) happened to like coding shooters. A fine deal for me. At that [...]
A few days ago I was wondering what to do about the Zoomer look. While I like the minimalist approach, I also think the in-game primitive-based graphics just don’t look like they should (*cough*they’recrap*cough*). So I’ve been thinking about what direction should I follow on that regard. Since I wasn’t able to find any answers, [...]
I know it isn’t really polite start my post history with a rant, but I’m really pissed off right now. I’m currently writing this from a fresh Fedora 9 install. It’s shiny, looks polished, boots fast and runs even faster. Any issues, you ask? Nah, that’s impossible in the free software world. We’re fast, we’re [...]
The english version of the compo site is now publicly available. For those who don’t know (probably the vast majority, heh), this competition (organized by the Argentinian Game Development Association) was about making little games which couldn’t surpass the 600×90 pixels display size. I entered the competition with a simple arcade game called Zoomer. There’s [...]
Hi all, my name is Iván Vodopiviz and I’m a game developer from Argentina. First of all, welcome to my humble piece of the internet, I hope you enjoy your stay. I’m currently adding content to this website, stay tuned for more. In the meantime, you might want to download Zoomer, the first game I [...]
