Hello GameJolt!

LINE WORLD
I’m writing to tell you about my new free indie game “LineWorld: the First Story”. This is part of an ongoing series I’m designing for Mac, Pc, and iOS called The LineWorld Series. LineWorlds are developed in a home-made vector engine created with Game Maker. The Music of LineWorld is collaged across levels creating a transforming musical experience which follows your progression in the game. In the premiere game ‘the First Story’ the protagonist is a small walking house that travels around several distinct levels. This challenging platformer serves as a kind of proof of concept, with dialogue from LineWorld’s Developer.

I also plan to release the LineWorld Editor itself, after’s its matured enough, along with a full-length game. Creators will then be able to use it to make their own LineWorlds! I’m inspired by games from my childhood that came with editors like Lode Runner or Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Also Voxatron is a good recent example. In LineWorld, creators will be able to make music with a variety of instruments, and draw lines worlds, plus model characters, and change gameplay behaviors such as gravity, speed, projectiles, and enemy behaviors.

LOVE IS MOVING
Next to be released is my art game “Love Is Moving”. It’s an experimental game that can beat itself. The game is full of metaphors, and tries to be inclusive to people who don’t play games. Here is a video of it at the Sacramento Indie Arcade:

LARGER PROJECT I’M LAUNCHING MORE TBA
Lastly I’ve been working on another game the past year which I plan to get funding for. It’s a far more immersive than my other games, featuring a cast of characters and an open ended world. More on that game later…

I Look forward to hearing what you think,
