Wow, it’s been a long time since I last used my blog. Almost a year. I will really try to keep you guys updated more often from now on. I will also make a bit of a redesign of my site, the blue on top with my logo looks just terrible.
That said, I released my new game e7! You can play it here: playe7.com or go check it out on Newgrounds.
It got the daily feature there, and an amazing score of 4.22!
It has also gotten quite a bit of attention by the indie games community:
“e7 is lovingly understated and beautiful, from the rush of wind and light piano track that convey a simultaneous sense of isolation and hope, to the silhouetted foreground scenery overlaying a distant and imaginative landscape. The gameplay is simple, to be sure, but the central mechanic is fun to learn, tricky to master, and wholly satisfying once you’ve reigned it in. ”
I haven’t wrote anything for a long time, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not doing anything. The last months has actually been a very busy month. I released my new game “Deep”, getting my first sponsorship ever . As said in the previous post it is a mix between strategy and shooter.
Deep
“Dive deep into the colorful atmosphere and get ready to conquer the ocean. Deep is a game that combines both the shooter and strategy genre. You have to fight your way from the top to the bottom of the ocean in 15 challenging levels. An underwater clash of creatures that doesn’t only rely on your shooter skills, but also makes you think strategically.”
You can play it here: http://www.jgames.ch/games/Deep/
It got a JayIsGames.com review and won the weekly 3rd prize on Kongregate.com. It also won a free copy of KindiSoft’s SecureSWF Professional Edition worth $400. Finally I can protect my games from flash pirates!
Also, my game Pwong 2 finally got badges on Kongregate. It actually concluded the EPIC WEEK event on Kong, being the highlight of it! So it got over half a million plays on Kongregate alone. If you haven’t played it yet you can play it here: http://www.jgames.ch/games/Pwong-2/
I also made a fairly large update to the site jgames.ch, some of the new features include:
URL Redirecting(games and categories): So instead of http://www.jgames.ch/play.php?id=100 the url is: http://www.jgames.ch/games/Free-Rider-2/ Which is much easier to remember.
A brand new logo, and a new header, now with a link to my nice little blog
a portfolio where you see only the game that I made.
I took away the old looking gray. My site is now black on white.
JGames just hit 250’000 gameplays on all games . But since my site got too many views in the past months my webhost decided to kick me, so I’ll have to find a better one. Which means that I will have to put ads beside the games, since I will now have to fully pay for every GB bandwidth I’m using .
Here’s a little graph of the pageviews that JGames is getting:
(spiking to nearly 200’000 pageview in a single week!!!)
Anyway, that was quite a big post. I have a lot of game ideas, but really don’t know where to start. What would you guys like to see? An epic battle game, fast paced real time strategy or a relaxing puzzle?
Recently just fixed the CSS for my site to display right in all browsers. Also since the release of Replica, JGames boosted up. Two month ago every game that went off the new games list would have about 20-30plays, but now they go off with about 100-200, so thats good news .
So have fun playing games . And if the site still does not display like you see it on the image below, please contact me about it.
. As said in the previous post it is a mix between strategy and shooter.
