My game Damaged In Transit is out today on Nintendo Switch! i’m super excited! It’s a collab between me (art, additional design), Wyatt Yeong (design, dev) and Greg Heffernan (music, sound design). It’s also a super tricky action-puzzle game where you simultaneously control two drones!
Embrace the Future of Automated Delivery!
You can also get it on Steam! and on Itch.io!
Hey everyone! I haven’t been super active on tumblr lately, but I wanted to give you a little news update!
1. I released a new game! Damaged In Transit is available now on steam & itch.io, and releases 4/23 on Nintendo Switch! (Pre-orders are also available in the NOA region)
2. I’ve been updating Box Vs. Box again! Today’s post contains a Magic Eye!? It’s on twitter, too.
3. I’m doing design and animation work on Dear Reader, which is part of Apple Arcade. It’s a super chill reading game that procedurally makes puzzles out of open source literature!
4. I’m wrapping up a secret project that I’ll have more news about soon. It’s something that I’ve been working on for a while now and I’m so pumped to be able to share it with you.
5. I’m still teaching, now remotely, for NYU. This semester I’m teaching Intro to Game Development for the IDM department, and the Future Game Designers high school program for the NYU Game Center. It’s been a challenge and a learning experience to suddenly learn to teach remotely, but my students have been making some pretty cool work.
6. Once I’m done with the Damaged In Transit release and my secret project, I’d really like to dig into some of my million prototype ideas and stream some development. I’ll post here if I get around to that!
Thanks for hanging in through all of my radio silence! I miss tumblr, my old stomping grounds, my incubator. See you soon!
...and Get Damaged In Transit here!
Swap Sword came out today!!! Here are a bunch of the gifs I made to promote it ;)
I had a really fun time working on this game! and I know I’m biased, but I’ve been super addicted since January. I’m convinced you can score over 2000 points. I want to see someone do it so bad.
I made a lil gif to celebrate our release of Swap Sword~~~ It plays best when you grab a friend and compare high scores and spell builds. I hope you play it!!
---------~~~~~ SWAP SWORD IS OUT!!! ~~~~~~~--------
Swap Sword’s a rogue-like match-3 crawling with grumpy frogs! You can match gems, slash coins, and cast spells to fight your way to victory. I am so proud of this game! Check it out on the App Store!
AP Thomson of @playbeglitched brought me on to Swap Sword in January and it’s been a ton of fun to pack it to the brim with cute lil lizards you can slash and match and turn into points. I just wish we had added a spell that lets u kiss them. Hope you like it!
Here’s a little more on how to play Swap Sword, a new rogue-like match-3 coming from me and AP Thomson this Thursday!!
More at swapsword.com
Hey everybody! I’m putting out a new game next week -- Swap Sword! It’s a tactical rogue-like set inside a match-3. You fight lizards, build the best spell arsenal you can, get coins, and try to defeat your rival. If you wanna know more about it you can check out our site swapsword.com, and you can check out our trailer here:
Swap Sword is made by me and AP Thomson of @playbeglitched, and I love it. I’ve never been a big match-3 puzzle player, but this has just the right amount of challenge, tactics, and depth. It’s also full of cute animations of deadly frogs, stupid lizards, and a rogue samurai infected with some kind of bloodlust. Also magic. Lots of magic. ANYWAY!!! Please play it ~~~

Beglitched is out! This is an IGF award winning game designed by collaborator AP Thomson and the unbelievably talented Jenny Jiao Hsia. It is cute and funny and challenging, with a narrative about digital and personal insecurities and identities, with some hacking and frogs and cats and eggs mixed in. I really love this game and these people, and you should support them. But even more than that, you should just play this game for yourself because it is cool as hell!
Hey man! I saw your art on BumRush saw you made games too. I love your work, Keep it up! I got to play your game FlirtOFF and really like the concept and i really needed to ask whats that song in the flirting screen that comes on it has a synthwave feel to it?? and btw also liked SunBurn, so dope!
Hey! I don’t know when you sent this but thanks for the big ups! This made me feel so nice!!!
I think the music you’re asking about is the lil track by Jon Baken from George & Jonathan, among other things. Not sure if that track’s available anywhere, but I think this his latest soundcloud account: https://soundcloud.com/popcorn10
The other music is by Knife City and The Shortsleeves.
I was really lucky to have all those amazing people make all that amazing music! What a joy.
Tomorrow is the Game Center’s first big event of the year! Join us this Friday at 7PM to see old friends, meet new ones, and play the seven strange and excellent games from the 2016 Incubator!
Free and open to the public. RSVP HERE.
7 - 8PM: Each game will briefly present what they are, what they did this summer, and what’s coming next for the game.
8 - 930PM: Open showcase!
Along with complimentary beer, wine, pop, and seltzer, here’s what you can expect to see:
- A platformer, where you’re actually platforming. Finally. Set up the platforms and leave all that messy jumping to the super clever AI.
- Arrive at a hotel to deliver a mixtape; pay no attention to the talking statues, maybe make yourself a sandwich.
- A word building card game that combines the best parts of Scrabble, Cards Against Humanity, and actual theft.
- A VR driving game, and the driver has a mysterious lack of fingers. Perhaps the stylish post-apocalyptic world had something to do with that.
- Another new spin on the platformer, this one’s a ‘tapformer’. Only one way to find out what that means.
- A competitive mind dance set between the synapses of you, your opponent, and a fabric store fire sale.
- A game like Street Fighter, but if you could control time. Well, if you could barely control time. Also you’re a necromancer.
This is tonight at NYU! Some sweet games gonna be on display. I’ll be around for the first few minutes before I have to duck out, you should come by!
I made a little pixel font. Never done that before! This one was made with two games in mind, one I’m working on with AP Thomson (top), and one I’m working on on my own (bottom). Neither of these are officially announced, but I’ll post some more when I have more info.
If you want to grab the font, you can get it here. Just credit me if you use it for something public!
And if you want to try making your own, BitFontMaker2 is super cool!
Famicom Tantei Club: Kieta Koukeisha - Zenpen VS. Famicom Tantei Club: Kieta Koukeisha - Kouhen, 1988
Just wanted to post a little reminder that I’m still updating box vs. box now and again! I fall off the wagon sometimes, but I try and bounce back. I really like today’s post!!!!
A week in the life of game design
Our session opens with the quintessential question: how much does a polar bear weigh?
Enough to break the ice!
Ice breakers were the perfect way to cool off on a hot July 11th, but what was even cooler was playing and making Turtle Wushu mods!
We played through King of Tokyo, Guts of Glory, and Forbidden Island, finishing up the day with a discussion regarding their design elements.
Our students take a visit to Babycastles where the current exhibition is “Squinky Hates Videogames”. Squinky’s setup helped us explore gender, social awkwardness, and just plain fun through a mixture of non-digital and digital design!
Ending off the week with a bang, Times Square is made a little more brighter with the opening of PlayTimesSquared.
This semester I’m co-teaching Tisch Summer High School at the NYU Game Center. It’s a super cool program divided up into Literacy and Studies, Design, and Dev classes, with a bunch of field trips built in. Our design TA is keeping a lil tumblr going -- Here are some pics from our first week’s design classes and our first field trip to Babycastles and PlayTimesSquared.
🐣 beglitched is going to hatch soon shhhh 🐣
Good game comin’ soon from some good friends!!!
Peter Panic is out today on iOS!
The game began as James Marion’s MFA Thesis at the NYU Game Center, he then participated in our 2015 Incubator, where Peter Panic was picked up by Adult Swim. Today it’s available all around the world for iOS!
“Peter Panic is the world’s first mobile mini-game musical, bringing all the magic of Big Broadway to your smart devices! Peter is an aspiring young director who wants to bring theater back to his hometown. As he travels from one strange location to the next, he must perform dozens of challenging, weird mini games to convince as many people as he can to help him. Boasting a full slate of original songs performed by an amazing cast of Broadway talent (including Tony nominees) and a full score by award-winning composer Benjamin Bonnema, this mobile musical experience by James Marion will have you begging for an encore.”
More information here.
Hey, check this game out! I drew the characters and logo! It was a ton of fun to help out. The game’s a crazy wario-ware style musical with really great writing. Hope you like it!
Foot Soldier: WIP Spawn, Idle, and Attack animations
These are for a game I’m working on with my friend Alec Thomson. I’m super excited about it!!! But I can’t say too much yet. I’ll try and keep posting art as it comes along~~~
Heyyy!
I’m curious if you’ve heard of this cute mobile game, Sunburn! It begins as a spaceship meets with disaster and results in the crew aboard getting scattered around in the vacuum of space. You, as the intrepid captain, must find and reunite all of them, and then… rocket into the sun together. Yes, that’s right. The goal is to make sure that no one in your crew dies alone - everyone dies together.
Sounds a bit morbid, ne? Well, I actually found this game to be incredibly charming. From the art to the music & sound effects and even the happy little ghosts at the end of each stage, the whole thing is just packed with delightful attitude. Not to mention that the characters are adorable and often make funny little quips as you are moving around the level. My personal favorites of the crew being Porkbun the cat and Moosetracks the dog (great names - A+).
Don’t let the simple controls and fairly easy first few levels deceive you - the game provides some interesting challenges and frequently tosses in new obstacles for you to adjust to. Monitoring your oxygen and timing jumps to avoid dangerous objects can get pretty hectic!
You can find it on either iOS or Android. I hope you’ll have fun with it! :D
From Indies With Love is super cool!!! And they liked Sunburn!!! ;_____; I’m a happy boy!!
