Nice day for some bungee jumping!

Days ago I made this little game for the ADVA CODEAR contest. The premise was to make a game in 100×100 pixels.

Since I think it´s a lot of space I made something that usually would seem like a game for a big resolution, but in 100×100.
Thanks to everybody who helped coding this! (Lucas Callelo,  David Roguin, Ariel nader, Fabián García and Ariel Flesler)
The music was made by Leandro Kalén, he composed and recorded it in his underwears. Incredible.

Game Design Secrets – Part 1

When designing a level, for a platformer for example. I just start drawing, most of the times the first sketch with just a few modifications is the one that ends up in the final game.
And you do too! There´s no point in lying.

I have yet more awful and shocking trues about game design in the vault!.
Stay tuned.

Jack of all trades

What do you do when you want to do many things? You want to design commercial games, and learn from it, You want to make small flash games, You want to experiment with Unity, You want to do some 3d modelling and animation, You want to write idea pitches and game design documents of all sorts.

You write design documents for your small flash games, you do a project in Unity modelling yout own assets, you continue your day job designing commercial games and in the mean time try to pitch something new to start developing it the same day you ship your current project.

Then you go to sleep and get some rest, because all that work is nothing compared with trying to balance it with a personal life. That takes real energy! And that is the most importat part of all, to know when to stop and think about what you are doing.

Can I make a game?

Some time ago I tried to make a game from nothing, without a concept or idea Just opened flash and started working, it was a great experiment and I discovered many things on the process. This is the outcome.

Lots of questions.

Super Larry Bros

A new Mini-Codear contest is taking place on ADVA, this time they are inviting people to make a mash up game. Because I could not resist the need to get immerse in the needless pain of making a game in a month, juggling my time between a job, girlfriend, cat and so many wonderful TV shows to watch.

So, i´ve teamed up once again with my parter in crime (www.de9a18studio.com.ar) Matias Blum, and we are almost ready to launch the game.

It´s a mash-up between the all mighty-never overused Mario Bros gameplay and the glamour and sex appeal of our hero Larry Laffer in a new and exiting 10 minutes top gameplay adventure! Let´s get it on.

La Tota Santillan hace historia

En Jouli hacemos juegos, cortitos sonzos y demás cuestiones ligadas al entretenimiento, y si bien muchas veces no sale bien, uno trata de agregarles algo mas que una línea argumental a las cosas. Tratamos de hacer lo que hace la tele basura, solo que tenemos pruritos.
La tota.
Si es un personaje, es un genio. Si es verdad, lamentable.
Ojala sea personaje y este todo orquestado, si es asi pasa a ser, seriamente, mi ídolo.
Cada escandalete mediático constituye una novela, totalmente nueva en su formato, que vamos descubriendo en fragmentos. Hay agentes que nos van tirando pistas como Rial o Canosa, secundarios que meten pua para sacar datos, personajes principales que dan forma al hilo conductor, mas secundarios cómicos o trágicos. A primera vista nos resultan repugnantes, pero ese es el chiste, es una película donde todos son malos y no dejan de generar crisis.
Regalo una idea para TVR. Compilar uno de estos escándolos como una novela y pasarlo todo junto, inicio, nudo y descenlace.
