While LD23 was happening, I attended the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MCRgamejam\">Manchester Game Jam<\/a> and participated in three shorter jams which resulted in three very different games:<\/p>\n <blockquote>\n <ul>\n <li><strong>Corgi Rider<\/strong> &#8211; A side-scrolling jumping game where you play as the Queen as she rides one of her Corgis through the palace (Developed in XNA)<\/li>\n <li><strong>Gnome Patrol<\/strong> &#8211; A Plants vs. Zombies-esque game where various bugs are trying to get to the flowers. You have to place Gnomes down to stop them (Developed in Game Maker)<\/li>\n <li><strong>Duck Nukem<\/strong> &#8211; A 3D shooter developed in Unity. You can throw bricks at ducks, or use your flamethrower to make them nice and crispy. (Developed in Unity)<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/blockquote>\n <p>I&#8217;ve also developed some other games in my time. This weekend I&#8217;ll be using Flash, which I&#8217;ve not used for\u00a0a\u00a0<em>long<\/em>\u00a0time, so I&#8217;m currently on an Actionscript 3.0 crash-course to get prepared. There&#8217;s a chance I might also use Photoshop for graphics, and most likely I&#8217;ll be using a mix of Anvil Studio, FL Studio and Audacity for audio related purposes.<\/p>","time":"August 23rd, 2012 9:40 am","title":"boolean Participating = true;"}
