Busy...

By -
Wow... time does fly by.

Again, many changes in little time. Right now I'm working as a programmer for a consultant company (I got the job!), and still keeping the recording studio open at night. So, free time is a luxury I don't come across
often nowadays. Still, there's some hours on the week that I can dedicate to AM2R at the studio.

Progress this month?
Mostly reworked tilesets, scripted events debugging on both areas 2 and 3, some major tweaking on
Arachnus' AI. Nothing spectacular, I know.

No exciting news right now, but I'm posting anyway, so you know this situation is temporary. At least until I got accustomed to the new rhythm of my life.
Thanks again for all your support.

Sinceramente, espero este juego como la segunda llegada de jesucristo a los ojos de un evangelico.
espero con mucha fe y esperanza, reviso todos los dias el blog, y me pergunto como será, juego una y otra vez los demos...

me siento egoista, pensado que no hago nada por aportar a esto, y esperar que me caiga del cielo, tomate todo el tiempo que quieras... :D
mi fe sigue intacta
y si no lo puedes completarlo comprenderemos, todos somos humanos.

Obviously, with a new life that makes it harder to find time. Just so long as the game can be finished eventually.

Thank you for the update! When you take this long, we get worried!

I do hope this isn't a case of, "Well, I got the demo out, so I released something. Mission accomplished."

I was a bit worried when you didn't post last month, but I'm glad you posted this month. Good to know you're okay, even if you're busy. You don't have to work on this too much if you don't have the time. We know you're still here. :)

Hey, I've been watching this site for a while now, and I have to say that I'm really looking forward to what you're doing.

No future for AM2R

By -
Nintendo of America, Inc. has filed a takedown request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). I received the request on my personal email, so I'm complying with their requests. There will be no more AM2R updates, and no more releases under any platform.  Thank you for the support during all these years.

The future of AM2R

By -
As you may know already, AM2R received DMCA notices in all the download hosts, and some parts of this blog. So far, no C&D letter was received.  This project began a long time ago, while I was actually trying to learn the programming side of Game Maker. Instead of moving on with something else, when I learned a better way of doing something, I reiterated and improved the old code. Eventually, I learned to program in C#. Now I'm making a living as a professional programmer thanks to what I learned developing a fan game.  Technically speaking, I'm satisfied. Artists started offering help. First with the main enemies, then with sprites, enemies, bosses. The forums started to come alive with fans making feature suggestions, and always being positive and optimistic about the project. I added new contents, trying to be respectful about the established lore. Demo after demo people liked the game. Then the game was out, and for a brief time, players enjoyed the game they

Skippy's 1st Anniversary!

 Today is a special day. Metroid , a game franchise from which I learned a lot about game design, was released 36 years ago. AM2R , my personal 10 year project from which I also learned a lot, was released 6 years ago. Skippy the Bot , the most popular of my little games on Itch, is now 1 year old. I'm still working full time as a game designer, and there's a lot I'd like to show you. Don't worry, I'll be posting here as soon as I can reveal anything. To celebrate the occasion, I released a huge update for Skippy.  Double the amount of levels (20) New water physics mechanics Episode and level select menus Record and collection tracking Flatpak release for Linux / Steam Deck users Many Quality of Life features Download / Play in Browser HERE Flatpak Release This little game got quite some attention, surprisingly. So I've been slowly adding contents to it. Now, 10 short levels might not sound as much, but each one is crafted to feel unique. There's entire game
