I am proud to announce my game Where the Color Goes is released and ready to be played on my itch page itch.io/irbradshaw I hope you have so much fun and may you find the color you’ve been looking for!

This looks great! I love all the colors and the juxtaposition of the realistic character versus the npcs. I’m excited to explore!

Never fear, I won’t be a stranger. I plan to explore more game creation over the summer, and (if i remember) I will post updates on things I work on here. Until then, have a wonderful break :)) #SmallGameStudio

My final project will be released later today, and I am so excited about it. I spent so long working on the art and code, and it truly is a project I’m so proud of. #SmallGameStudio

This marks my last weekly small game studio post. This class has been so fun and has allowed me to gain a new skill set that I am excited to explore even outside of a learning area. #SmallGameStudio

I love the visuals you went with! I’m excited to see how the game plays and what the mini games have in store for players!

Below is a small snippet of my game. I’m happy I went with sketches as the aesthetic as that really allowed me to not get too caught up on all of the minute details. #SmallGameStudio

The rest of this week will
be deciding on music as well as fully rendering some of the characters for the end of the game. I’m very excited to be almost done, and I’m proud of my work so far #SmallGameStudio

I am just about done with my game which is very exciting! Today I finished up some of the renders for my dragon as well as figured out how to get music and sound effects to play in different scenes! #SmallGameStudio

I’m really excited for this! The idea of painting the town is so fun, will the colors fade over time or will they be there until you paint over it again?

This upcoming week will
be finishing sketches and the script and getting it all in the game. Then next week will
be finalizing sound effects and music. #SmallGameStudio

The game follows a young girl in a world that looks like an unfinished story book. I am having a a lot of fun with the sketches and the unfinished look. It also takes weight off of everything looking perfect. #SmallGameStudio

I’ve been so busy with my final project this long weekend but I have a working prototype and I am very excited for how it’s going to look once I’m done! #SmallGameStudio

ooo if you could figure out the fading that would be super cool. It would add a nice visual experience for the player as well as enhancing your gameplay!

I had a lot of fun with this one and conveying anxiety in a non traditional way. Below I’ve attached a short clip of the gameplay, and if it seems cool then definitely check it out on my itch page 🙃 #SmallGameStudio

To do this, I had my color palette of the game fade from blue to red as well as speeding up the music in each level. I hope this causes the players to slowly become stressed out without realizing what’s happening too quickly. #SmallGameStudio

My idea I wanted to convey was anxiety. It took me a while to land on this theme since I wasn’t sure how a brick breaker game could translate to a real world ideal. Anxiety seemed to fit as no matter how much you try it never goes away completely. #SmallGameStudio

This week we were working on an arcade like game that expresses and idea or feeling. I decided to iterate on my brick breaker game since I figured it would be good to work out my bugs and make it look a lot nicer #SmallGameStudio

#SmallGameStudioArcade3 I played a game called Do You Love the Color of the Sky. You control the ways the planets move to create a galaxy while we change colors. They can move us as well and also change our color.

#SmallGameStudioArcade3 I played Lian which is a game about love and distance where if you get too far apart you lose but if you stay too close to your partner you also lose. You have to balance to win.

#SmallGameStudioArcade3 I played Become A Great Artist In 10 Seconds which you can mess around with keys to change the art on the screen. It’s fun and allows you to mess around with different effects. There’s an auto artist feature which will draw for you.

#SmallGameStudioArcade3 I played melt which was about intimacy in relationships. You click a mouse to bring the circles together or to take them apart while they continue to rotate around each other .

#SmallGameStudioArcade3 I played a game called Diving Bell which forces you to press space to sink. If you let go of space you rise to the top and lose, and if you hold space you continue sinking.

#SmallGameStudioArcade3 I played The Marriage which is a game that simulates the give and take relationship of marriage. If we touch the circles the wife gets smaller and the husband gets bigger, but the husband can also even out the mother and the mother can touch the circles to get bigger.

#SmallGameStudioArcade3 The first game I played was called Loneliness and it was about a small square trying to find connection but whenever they approached other squares the squares would flee and then fade out. You couldn’t win, you could only go until the screen turned black.

Ooo i’m excited for this. space invaders is so fun so i’m intrigued to see how you space ship and bullets function. additionally i really like the neon green against the black background, it really emphasizes the alienation feeling.

I did run into a glitch where the paddle will stop moving if you move too far left or right and I don’t know how to fix it 😭 Luckily it is a prototype, but if I ever released it officially I would work out all the kinks. #SmallGameStudio

Coding it was fairly simple, similar to a pong game but I had to adjust the controls and the orientation of the paddle. Below is a quick snippet of how the game plays. As you can see, the ball will break the bricks upon contact. #SmallGameStudio

This week we worked on 2D arcade games. I had difficulty deciding what I wanted to make but then decided on a brick breaker game as I always enjoyed playing those when I was younger. #SmallGameStudio

I am excited to announce the my game To the Market or the Sea is up and running on itch.io! It’s a text based game that lets the adventurer navigate between the small town market or the big glistening sea! I spent a lot of time working on it so i hope you enjoy it! #SmallGameStudio
