The good news first: Today I released the alpha version of WANG! What A Nasty Game. Download it here:
>> WANG! What A Nasty Game (work in progress) – Download
And now the sad news: This is the last life-sign of this project!
I decided to quit the development of WANG!, so there will be neither a beta nor a final-version.
- Over and out -
I confess: After the release of the final version of my last game-project DOODLE BOUNCER I didn’t return to the development of WANG!
Instead of the finalization of What A Nasty Game I started coding a new game: Doodle Parachute Drop. Now the second beta of this game is available, including a web-version in HTML5.
What do you think about this game? I’m looking forward to your feedback!
Ok, not really. But the first level is created.
I’m sure I’ll change some (or maybe: a lot of) things. But I’m glad and proud to see – and to play! – the result of my work.
The next task is to polish the gamedesign and remove bugs.
Usually modern games are developed in C++, Flash, Java, Unity or anything like that. But not WANG! What A Nasty Game. I develop my game with GameMaker.
GameMaker is a tool from Mark Overmars, published by YoYoGames. If you take a look at GameMaker, you’ll see it’s very simple.
What’s new? Gfx changes, new traps and status display
After every death a cross appears at your accidental place. So, after a few unsuccessful tries you create a kind of cemetary on your screen … like here:
WANG! What A Nasty Game will have reduced, retro-style gfx and it’ll be a platformer, but this game won’t be cute! It’ll be hard, nasty and mean. To emphasize this aspect I’ll implement many blood- and gore-fx! Take a look at the first bloody screenshot:

I develop WANG! What A Nasty Game on my PC and it will be released only on that system. “What da heck, are you crazy? The iPhone and iPad are much cooler, dude! PC suxxx!!” some may say. And they’re right. The iPhone and iPad are really cool! But the PC is neither dead nor oldscool. The computer is still alive and freshly young – thanx to all the Facebook-, Social- and Browsergames. And of course to the developers of fantastic games like Starcraft, WoW or Total War.
And in addition … the most important arguement: I don’t know how to code iPhone/iPad-games!
Maybe I will release in the distant future a version for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android and your toaster. But this will take time. Until then please look forward to the release of the PC-only-version of WANG!. Thank you!
We – the gamers – are braggarts! We like to boast. So we are hunting for achievments on Xbox Live, PSN and Steam to demonstrate who’s the best player in the world.
In WANG! What A Nasty Game you’ll have the possibility to show-off, too! Today the first achievement was implemented:
Which other achievements do you expect?
You have seen the first screenshot auf WANG! aka What A Nasty Game and you think you know it? This could be true. Because WANG! will be the advanced remake of the german freeware-game Das fieseste Game der Welt: Level 1 and Das fieseste Game der Welt: Level 2 (in english: The nastiest game of the world).
The target is to create a remake, but with new features and a lot of improvements. The list of ideas and tasks is long – maybe too long. Some ideas are fantastic, some funny, some standard. Therefore a lot of thing must be coded and testet.
But every journey starts with a (vague) target – so let’s do the first steps and see where it ends!
