I am still working on my board game.  It's amazing how long it takes to design a board game, when you have to playtest with multiple people and can only do it once in a while.  

Kickstarter should be happening soon though.  Here is one of the cards in the game.

I'm geeking out and making a board game. It's got pirates.

I'm looking around to see if there are any serious artists who are interested in a bit of freelance work that may or may not pay since I'm doing this as a Kickstarter.

The game will need someone who can paint really fun but nice looking Dog Pirates. If I don't find someone I can do it myself but I am looking around just in case someone is interested in giving it a shot.

The game is really good and I'm working on getting quotes for getting it produced. Ping me if you are interested and have a good body of work.

Here is a picture of the current prototype just so you know I'm serious.

Still working on the Board Game.  Looking for artist.

Howdy folks!

So I'm not dead I'm just really busy lately. I'm working on several client projects and I'm actually working on a board game about pirates.

I'm more than happy to do the art myself for the prototype but I was wondering if any good artists out there would be interested in helping me punch up the art for a Kickstarter campaign.

I still haven't decided whether I will attempt to send the game to a publisher or try to self publish it, I am looking for someone who is interested in teaming up and working on polishing the game together.

I'm still playtesting the game and I'm not going to push out a sub-par product, I'm trying to make the game as much fun as I can.

I doubt anyone will be interested but I thought I would ask here since I'm always a fan of helping out Newgrounds artists when I can.

I've been working on making games and websites a lot so I recently started a small side project, I've been developing a Minecraft server.

It has been up for about 2 weeks now and we pretty much constantly have players on, it's a Towny Survival server with boosted ore counts, MCMMO and several cool arena plugins.

The name is FireFly Minecraft check out the website and if you play Minecraft check out the server it's a lot of fun.

Howdy! I'm currently working on BearBound but I thought it would be nice to work with an artists I haven't worked with before and make an iPhone and Android app.

I am looking to start a totally new project with an artist. We would come up with the concept and crank out a prototype in a week to a month's time. If you are interested in working with me please message me and I'll check out your work.

I am ok with artists who don't have a lot of experience working in animation, as long as they are willing to try.

Hopefully someone out there wants to take a shot at working with me, I haven't released much on Newgrounds lately due to working on client work and mobile stuff but my skills are sharp as ever. Also if the game is good I can make a Flash version to help get the word out about it. Though I would like to make the app version first.

If you can back the project please do that as well, every little bit helps.

Howdy folks!
I've been working away on Primary 2 and I recently took some time to take part in the 2012 IDGA Chicago Game Jam. Several developers came together and had a good time making games together and networking.

In the end my team was chosen as the winner thanks to my experience with game jams like the ones here on Newgrounds. If you want to make games but can't you should participate in the jam however you can. It isn't about winning it is about participating.

Anyway as I said I'm working on Primary and I have a pretty solid engine but the final game is still a long way off. So I'm working on a smaller project on the side. Bringing BearBound to mobile.

I have all the ground work done and need time to do art but money is tight so I'm dong a small kickstarter for the game soon. By the way, BearBound was made for a Newgrounds Game Jam.

So even if you can't do much participate in the NG game jams you WILL learn something. And you might make a hit game by accident.

Get in the Game (Jam) also BearBound KickStarter!

Howdy! So I'm working on a version of Primary for mobile and it is coming along nicely. I'm planning on doing a Kickstarter campaign and I was thinking about things I can use as backer rewards.

Since the original game was made for Newgrounds and Child's Play I thought I might as well post and ask if any NG artists would be interested in making posters for the game in their styles for the Kickstarter campaign. If so I can pay a small commission for the work or trade my services on small projects. I would also give anyone who participates a free copy of the game and beta access through test flight.

I plan on donating a portion of the finished games profits to Child's Play once it is released.

If you are interested play Primary a bit and get a feel for it. Drop me a line and I'll give you some updates on what the new game is like. It will have more environments and some slightly different powers but the basics are the same... though I have plans to expand the game episodically.

Call to Artists for Primary Kickstarter

Oh hi there! So yeah it's been nearly a year since I made a post on here... I've been busy with several things and haven't had time to really work on games as much as I would like to. BUT that's changing! I've been working on a mobile version of Primary for a while now and I'm planning on doing a kickstarter with it in the next couple of months.

The plan is to retell the story of the original and continue it with the mobile game so everyone who is sending me hate mail about the to be continued ending on Primary should be happy once it is done.

Right now there is a lot of work that needs to be done and i'm working on fixing issues with the base game mechanics on mobile, I'm trying not to dumb the game down at all for mobile but the touch screen makes it tough.

Can you guys point me toward platformer games on the iPhone that have intuitive control schemes? I really don't want to do a d-pad if I can help it and I have been working on alternatives myself but if there are other solutions I haven't thought of I would love to see them.

I'll try to keep you posted with screen shots from time to time once things start looking all smexky.
