Alpha and Omega: A good and a sad news!

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 -

Next game: Doodle Parachute Drop

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!

New projekt: DOODLE BOUNCER

A sad news: The development of What A Nasty Game is on hold.

A positive news: While WANG! is on hold I develop a new, fantastic game – DOODLE BOUNCER.

After only four days of work I released today the open beta of DOODLE BOUNCER > download it here.

When the development if DOODLE BOUNCER is finished I will resume the work on WANG! Promised!

The leveldesign is done

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.

The tool behind WANG!

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.

Beginners could develop their first game within hours and share it easily and for free on the YoYoGames-community-website.

If you are an skilled programmer you have also fun with the GameMaker, because it has the possibility to use complex scripts and plugins. So, feel free and code clones of Super Mario, Metal Slug or Doom. Meanwhile I will finish my simple, but nasty game: WANG!

What’s new? Gfx changes, new traps and status display

How the idea was born

blackinmind — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 18:24:05 +0000

A few years ago I played I Wanna Be The Guy, one of the hardest games ever. I hated that game, really! And I loved it! Because the very hard skill level is a fantastic USP (unique selling point).

I descided to copy the fundamental game-design, but to emphasize the frustration-factor and combine it with a special kind of humor. The idea for the predecessor of What A Nasty Game, Das fieseste Game der Welt, was born!

Take a look at the Youtube-clip of I Wanna Be The Guy – it’s really weird and mean:

Screenshot: Cemetary

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:

Blood and gore

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:

- Important: If you’re under 18 years or from the german Jugendschutz or against violence or thin-skinned please DO NOT look on the image below!!! -

I will implement more bloody death-scenes – especially more funny death-causes – in the next weeks.

What do you think of blood- and gore-fx in WANG!? Or which kind of death-causes would you like? Please post it here!

Why PC only?

blackinmind — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 17:00:16 +0000

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!
