Sushi Cat out now on iPhone/iPod!

Hey there!

I haven't posted here or submitted any new games for a while now, but I've been working my ass off over the last few months and currently have at least 6 games in various stages of development. Its getting pretty ridiculous now, things have just stacked up and I have no free time whatsoever.

Its all good though, I am 100% freelance now and the commissions just keep coming. I've been working with Armor Games over the last month on 2 iPhone games (and possibly a 3rd BIG name game coming up), both of which are ports from previously successful Flash games. I can't say any names but you can expect to see the first game in the App Store very soon, along with a new level pack of the original Flash game to promote it, with totally new artwork and content. I'm very happy with how both of them turned out ^ - ^

Enola is still going on in the background, but we've taken some time off from it to focus on other projects. After spending such a long time working on the game non stop towards the end of Uni, I just wanted to work on some different projects and get some quick games out. The game still needs a great deal of work and I don't want to compromise its final quality by trying to grind through it in one go. I have a short attention span :) This time of has given me a chance to sketch down a load of new enemies and characters and also rethink some of the game play mechanics.

Needless to say I'm already feeling revitalized about the project and really looking forward to getting back onto it and releasing the damn thing. The beta kinda failed because my web host went down the day after I sent links out and only about 3 people got to play it, so expect another opportunity to test the game near its release!

Thats all for now, expect games very soon!

UPDATE: Haha, wasn't expecting this so soon... You can now buy Sushi Cat for iPhone and iPod Touch! Click Here for the link to the App Store! I've gotta say they did a great job - i don't get any money if you buy the game but It is really good fun if you enjoyed the original :)

Jimp 2010-07-08 06:27:51

Sounds like a lot of work, but I've always found it better to be working on 6 games or scenarios in my case, rather then pending to find a simple idea... Anyways, keep working on them, sounds like it's a lot of fun none the less, I'm also VERY intrigued to know what is this BIG name your working on, as well as what the iPhone games are. Make sure you let me know when they come out! ;)
Cheers,

Yeah true, I feel a lot more productive when working like this. Its great when I'm working on an Armor Commission and see an "Enola has been updated" dropbox notification every now and again as Craig updates the programming :)

Not sure if I will end up doing the 3rd game, I think they got a few different artists to do some concepts and they are gonna pick their favorites. Fingers crossed!

that was supposed to be posted on my account and not my stupid brother's,
sorry for the inconvenience. BTW I dunno if you remember me, but I supported your "Join the Army" submission, anyways... cheers!

Awesome, its great to be remembered for projects I released ages ago :) I really need to do another movie submission...

Starblinky 2010-07-08 07:21:27

I am working on 2 and starting a third one soon maybe..
BUT THATS COOL MAN. I am happy for you, Enola looks fun, pokemon-like. I WANT TO PLAY! Send me beta link please when you are ready :)

Are you the artist for these games, or do you also program? I love your art btw :)

Jimp 2010-07-08 07:21:27

The gameplay is more like final fantasy, but yeah some of the monsters and my art style was definitely influenced by pokemon!

Im just an artist! I've done a bit of programming but quickly decided to stick to my strengths and just work on the art side of things. Saying that I have a lot of input into all areas of my games like game design and gameplay :)

Jeeez I find that if I work on more than one project than I give favoritism and cannot work on the others with enthusiasm or effort.
