New Look!


I’ve been tinkering with things for this game for a while, and I think I’ve decided on… this:

It actually looks like something I’d make now! Yay!!!

With this, I’ve decided to decrease the board dimentions to 8X8 instead of 10X10. I did this because A. it looks better B. it’ll be easier to start a game as a new player because smaller boards are less intimidating. I’ve also scaled down the amount of pieces from 25 to 16. 2 less twos (spades), 6 less ones (diamonds), and 1 less bomb (circle).

Things the game still needs:

  • Sound effects

  • In game rules and/or tutorial

  • Tile and menu screen

Things I want to add but might be too hard:

  • Versus computer mode

  • Two player LAN

The game will be complete when the first 3 things are complete and added to the distribution. Next article, everything should be in the game (who knows when that will be though).

(I appologise for the smooshed picture. What can I say, the game is wide.)

I'm developing a new commercial game with a small team! A demo will be coming to steam soon, but you can wishlist it in the meantime if you're into deckbuilding / autobattlers / roguelikes!

Wonder if anyone can guess what kinda game I'm working on right now with this GameJolt session data as the only clue. I bet someone can sleuth it out!

For some reason, it's really hard to change the alpha value of a tile layer in GameMaker. You can do this easily for sprite or instance layers, but not tile layers. So here's a video on how to easily update the alpha value of tile layers in real time.

Nojong, an arcade mashup of Tetris and Mahjong is out now!

I'm currently making a Tetris + Mahjong hybrid game called #Nojong. Match colored blocks in the field to make clears. After a number of clears, the blocks left in your hand are scored, so you want to try and keep triples and quadruples in your hand.

Coming Soon! #Nojong
