It has been a while since I last updated this page, but I started to create another game that seems to be interesting to share: Ants.

As you can see, it is still in an very early state and I am still working without graphics. This will change soon, hopefully. I am still undecided if I will write a small 3d engine to render, or if I will continue 2d rendering with vector graphics, or if I just do both.

Here is a small teaser if I continue to use vector graphics:

After a few years for development, Aliens From Space is now available for Android. It is available in the Play store. It is a 2D side scroller optimized for touch. It is inspired by classical shoot’n’ups and features quick gameplay and a lot of action. I hope you will enjoy the game!

One and a half week ago, we had the BBQ Game Jam 2018 in the Werk1 in Munich. Thanks to Robin and Robin for hosting it! The topic was “Hot Sauce” and my team decided to make a small Beat’n’up in the 8 hours available: Street Spicer.  Two sausages fight against each other and the looser will be eaten with hot sauce.

The last update has been a while and I forgot to update after the Global Game Jam early this year. It was a great event and we used it this year to create a board game: Taifun.

Just last weekend, we had the BBQ Game Jam, which was a short 8 hour jam followed by a BBQ. Tom and I made a small game called Super Meat Loaf. 

For both events thanks to the organizers, it was fun participating.

Stay tuned for more updates, I am planning to develop more games in the near future again and maybe finish some games that I have been working on for quite a while now (it will be Android stuff).

Last weekend, we had the Grill & Games Jam 2016 in Munich at Werk1. It was an 8 hours game jam, followed by a delicious barbecue and game presentations. Thanks to all the organizers and sponsors!

I came as a regular participant, after the short brainstorming session (topic: “fire and flame”), my team decided to make the game ZuendelnUndSpritzeln, which looks like this:

As you can see, such a short jam is still enough to make a little game, I enjoyed the time, met some friends, and did finally some game development again.

This weekend was the Global Game Jam and I joined the Munich site at Werk1 – this time as a guest only.

My team decided to create a small game called Everyday Life Simulator, but we were not able to make the game entertaining and did not find good ideas how to change it. The basic idea is that you have a character who has to follow certain rituals a day and that you need to find the right order to do so. Here is a screenshot of an early version:

You can find the source code (made for Löve2d) here: https://github.com/Moe-/everydaylifesimulator

Once we decided to stop development (it was about the second day at lunch time), I started to make a small rhythmic music game in which you play two drums: Ritual Drum!

I made the game for Android, you will find the details on the sub page. Enjoy!

Last weekend we had a wonderful event: The BBQ Game Jam 2015! It was an event to combine a 24 hour game jam with a barbecue. Many thanks to the organizers and Werk1/GamesBavaria for organizing, sponsoring, and hosting this event. I had a lot of fun!

The topic for the games was sausage, my team decided to create a 2D runner: RunAway!

The mission is simple: Run away from the dog before he gets you!

Last weekend, we had the March Mini Game Jam in Munich. This time we met for a single day at Werk1. After everybody arrived, we started brain storming and decided to make a game that simulates a Game Jam: The Game Jam Simulator. It is a small RPG game in which the player fights typical issues during a game jam.

The game was inspired by classical RPG games on SNES.

Thank you to everybody who joined the game jam and a special thank you to Werk1 for hosting us.

Every year starts with the Global Game Jam. Like last year, I helped to oranise the Munich site at Werk1. Thank you to everybody who supported us, my co-organisers, and everybody participating! It was a great weekend and I had a lot of fun!

Similar to last year, I decided that I would not just participate as an organiser but also join a team. So this year, the theme was “What do we do now?” and my team decided to create a little survival game on an alien planet that we called “Lila Gras” (English: “Purple Grass”).

I hope you will enjoy playing the game as much as we did creating it (with Löve2D – did you expect something else?).

I would be happy to get your feedback about the game or the GGJ@Werk1!

We had another GameJam in Munich again! Like the last few times, I hosted the Jam, thank you to Werk1 that we could use your Event area again. This time we did not have a specific topic: Before the Jam, everybody was requesting to do a low polygon jam, but this got killed 2 minutes after everbody arrived. Of course, this did not stop us: after brainstorming, we formed two teams, my team decided to make a coop game (still untitled) using Löve2D: Thank you to everybody for coming and see you next time or at Devmania2014 in Mainz!
