Auld Games

Blowing the dust off my site and getting my head back in this whole internet malarky.

I’ve resurrected my first site, scottige.com. Previously scottige.co.uk but I got a domain free with my web space so I’m now .co.uk and .com.
It’s a reposatory of my ramblings, favourite tunes, funnies and general bloggy stuff.

I know, shut up Scott, this is a game site so shut your cakehole and tell us about the games.

Well, I’ve started developing for Android with a little help from the nice chaps over at Clickteam.

The MMF android exporter is still in beta and I’ve been lucky enough to have a peek behind the scenes and let me tell you folks, you are in for a treat. Brings the ease of MMF2 to the android platform and when it’s ready, you can expect to see some titles being developed here.

I’ve started a couple of titles but as the exporter is still in beta, there is no guarentee that they will be compatible with the final release so keeping them under my hat at the moment in case they need to be done from scratch.

I also plan to make another PC game.
Be it original or a remake, I don’t know yet but I think it’s time to get on that horse again.
I think I’m finally over my huff at the stoney cold reception of when it rains

When it rains.

An original retro platformer in the style of the old speccy/64/amstrad/(insert your fave 8 bit here ) era.

A collaboration between myself, Retro-Relevance and Dream Codex.

The aim of the game is quite simple.

Guide Drookit Droid round the level collecting the letters to spell GOAL in order.
You are hindered by the rain which rusts and damages you.
You do have a brolly in your arsenal however to shelter you.
You only have limited brolly power however so use it wisely.

You can also shelter in the conveniently placed shelters.

The levels get harder as they go on but fear ye not. Your progress is saved and you may start on any level you reach.

However, to get a decent score, you must play from the start as your score DOES NOT carry over after you loose all your lives.

Hope you enjoy!

Grab it HERE.

Still slowly rebuilding the game archive.

Next up the pipe is Ghostbusters.
This was made by myself and Trevor “Smila” Storey for the Retro Remakes competition.

Game page is HERE.

Myself and Geekay with GFX from the talented Mr Codex are working on a new puzzle/platformer.
More details to follow but we’re happy with the concept and the look so far.
Currently bouncing ideas and source code back and forth, we hope to be able to start level building sooner rather than later.

Keep watching the skies because when it rains……..

George’s Squizzy Griffin is a retro original platform game created by ourselves here at Auld-Games and Oddbob of Mersey Remakes.

Guide our hero through the dangerous platform landscape to his goal.

The game play is straight out of the old school curriculum.
Guide our hero through the landscape populates with nasties, spikes and some breathtaking leaps.

Lets get this out of the way.
This is brutally hard. Really, no kidding.
I’ve went for the hey day of 8 bit gameplay ala Monty, Willy, Rick.
Pure old fashioned platform action where nerves are rewarded by progress.

Collect all the gems to activate the exit and don’t die.
There are also extra lives dotted around for the brave.
Easy as 1,2,3.

The game is for WINDOWS only and can be downloaded HERE.

Allrighty.
I was building a new site to host all my games etc but it kinda went tits up so I’ve come crawling back to wordpress on my hands and knees .

Obviously just reinstalled on the default template.
I’ll be sorting that soon and building my site back up.

New game imminent and want a decent site back up to host it so watch this space…..
