Indie films-games and something anything else inbetween! At IndyFilm Oneblaze we try to highlight Indy creative projects.

Here again we are presented with another awesome humble bundle. But there is one game I am eye balling because
it was created in game maker. I have heard talk about gamer and that it’s not a solid engine. As a seasonal programer as I like to label myself from the productions that are coming out of that tool I don’t see it as being a bad tool package. Several games that I have noticed that were made that I am aware of is Savant and Hyper Light Drifter and those are some pretty nifty games. From a person who was able to make a really solid game in flash with little to almost no programming knowledge except for web html, java and some php and then action scripting I can say please spare me the mellow drama you everyday programmers. It’s not simply the tools but the person behind the tools. If you suck like I did but have the drive you can eventually make a decent product but if you are just a whiny you know what then your product will also suck. Either way this little post is simply to let you know if you have some drive but not the greatest skill check out game maker and also from speaking to these guys at GDC you can do some code work in this application so don’t play the game of ohhh it’s game maker it must suck, no its you who suck. Now get to work.

Just a few great games made in Game Maker studio Sweet MARY!!
Risk of Rain, Savant, Hyper Light Drifter and the list go on and on
check them out at the game maker website showcase.

This past weekend (1-24-2014–1-26-2014) I was privileged to work with a wonderful group of people as part of the globalgamejam of 2014 , which was totally awesome sauce. If you are not aware of what a gamejam is well it sure as hell is not jam that you put on a bread but a collaboration of individuals who are setting out to make a game within a limited time scope (48hrs) following a specific theme. This was my first gamejam and I am proud to say I worked with a team of talented individuals and we produced something that was worth while under the limited time. Would I work with them again, hells yeah. Anyway check out the link. I was heralded to work on the sprites for the characters while my fellow artist Christine handled the higher res anime styled art and the other team members, Adam (west) -programmer, Justin( bieber)-programmer Chris(farley)- writer/audio, jason(statham)- Team captain and myself Ned( Flanders/stark etc)-art ninja. This kept my mind off the depression that will further set in tonight. For more on the game and the globalgamejam event follow the link.

The team that I worked with on the global game jam of Jan 2014. Awesome people
