Our next preview is a platformer called Chris Unarmed by Chris Hughes. This guy doesn’t even try to fake a company name, which is a good thing, since I think half the XBLIG developers use non-existent company names. So that’s one point for him. In Chris Unarmed you “Journey through a world of powerful wind currents, levers, conveyor belts, keys and much more, on a quest to save the world.” Graphics look fairly simplistic, but because of all the things like said wind currents, etc, it looks like it will have good variety in the levels. Unfortunately in the video it looks a little “floaty” and I don’t mean when it’s in stuff like air or water, I mean when it’s on regular platforms. So here’s the trailer without sound:
PREVIEW: Chris Unarmed for XBLIG
November 21st, 2009Shameless Plug: My Game “Hypno-Joe” Part 3
November 20th, 2009Okay so the next post from the progress of my game Hypno-Joe involves animation. I’m only posting one link today because even though it’s short enough, it’s fairly relevant. If you notice the earliest link I posted was in 2005, then the next two were in 2006, and now this 4th post is from 2007, quite a jump! At this point I was going to use RTSoft’s NovaShell (which I still plan on using for the 3 platforms after I get the xna version done). So without further ado:

(XBLIG) RC-Airsim: A model of a model airplane?
November 19th, 2009I don’t think there are many flying (plane, jet, etc) games on XBox Live Indie Games, but then again, I guess I haven’t played all that many. So when I heard about RC-Airsim I decided here was something I haven’t tried yet. Actually that’s not what I thought, the creator was on twitter, so I heard about it through that, and decided to review it for my next XBLIG game. However I hadn’t tried it yet, so I could have thought that. But I didn’t. But I could have. I could go on forever like this. Okay so I wasn’t expecting much with the title. RC-Airsim meaning a simulation of radio controlled planes. And I didn’t get all that much. Now before I go on, I’m not trying to slam this, but it’s gotta be said. This is not a game, it’s a simulation. That was my first mistake, thinking of it like a game. So let me give you my thoughts briefly before I get into the details of the review. Unless you’re a radio-controlled plane enthusiast, you probably won’t care about this that much. Like I’m not. Watch the video to get an idea, and if that interests you, go ahead and read the rest of the review by clicking Read More below.
