Santa's Advocate

Koshka — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 21:35:35 +0000

A fairly long Christmassy psychedelic ZZT game done in the style of the legendary ZZTer Viovis/Ghettoflower. Your task is to assist Santa Claus in his fight against the Krampus, who has stolen his sleigh, by serving as Santa's advocate, a job that inexplicably involves becoming a kung fu master. There's a lot of comedic twists and turns and a very diverse art style that changes throughout the game.

Bimbo Wizard

danyburton — Fri, 27 Nov 2020 08:25:21 +0000

In this short game you have gotten magic gold bimbos from the golden spider sitting in the sky at the top of the building and then you have turned yourself into a big green fellow and you are eating women in the street. The important thing is not to let a car hit your tongue while it is holding someone, because it is too heavy and it will get blown up. You move with the arrow keys and go through menus with space bar,.

Nintendo Nightmare

adriendittrick — Sun, 01 Nov 2020 16:17:25 +0000

(game thumbnail by PrancingCheese7)

Content warning: this game contains many slurs, and disrespectful stereotypes.

A magnificent adventure in which Dario fights the evils of Jill gates accompanied by all his friends!
Was created a decade ago, reuploaded on Glorious Trainwrecks for posterity.

The story begins with an unexplained Alien Invasion, with Princess Peach being (of course) kidnapped. After escaping the initial onslaught, Mario discovers that it was not Bowser behind the attack, but Microsoft. Mario is then told that, to put a stop to Microsoft's schemes, he needs to obtain documents containing data on classic Nintendo games.

This game is hard, don't hesitate to use F5/F6 to save/load your game state!

Quakaphone

fizzhog — Sat, 30 May 2020 15:53:25 +0000

This isn't a game, it's a (not very) musical toy, a sort of primitive sequencer. It's controlled by clicking on old player-made Quake II models that then sort of 'vogue' to the sequence they're playing. Not really sure why I made it; I found a big zip file full of these twenty year old models a while back and I've been playing around with them in various ways. This is the first thing I've released from that process of playful gamedev doodling. I thought it might amuse some of you. It amused me to make such a thing from models repurposed from a violent game; I like to imagine the characters moving on into more creative endeavours. Also it's worth admiring the skill that went into creating these models; I picked the ones I thought had the most interesting animations.

Controls:
Left click to start or stop a sequence
Right click to change the sequence
Escape key to quit

This 'game' is a failure. In fact it's a trainwreck. Oh wait ... this is 'Glorious TRAINWRECKS' - Hurrah! It's a failure in that it's a 'kitchen sink' game, i.e. I threw everything in there including the kitchen sink. It's hugely overloaded with symbolism and 'messages' but any meanings such as there are veer off into obscurity and being overly personal. So it's a failure in that I don't think it communicates at all well. It's very much an improvised game; I started out with a vague idea of wanting to make a 'walking simulator' but I had a jumping mechanic that I found relaxing from messing around with settings in Clickteam Fusion and jumping is surely more fun than walking so then I thought what would it be like to make a 'jumping simulator' or 'purposeless platformer'? All there is to it is jumping around and looking at what there is to see, unlocking more 'memories' the longer you play. There is an ending if you play long enough. Despite my reservations I upload it anyway as I thought some here might find elements of it to be of interest - so if you're up for a purposeless platformer that combines visual overload with a personal zine then here you go.

Images used are a mixture of my own efforts and material from Pixabay, flickr and the Digital Comics Museum. All the material I've taken from those places is useable without attribution as far as I'm aware as I was checking the license for each image as I found them. Thanks to all those people who put up material on those sites for others to use. Otherwise I hope any pilferings would fall under fair use. Some animations were made using 3D models from 3DRT. Sound is edited from public domain sounds on Freesound.

Controls are A and D for left and right and W for jump. I found that if moving upwards through the environment you hold down W and alternate A and D you can get a nice relaxing rhythm going. Use Space key during the ending sequence.

Tram Simulator

fizzhog — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 22:22:08 +0000

Another transport simulator? Bit of an obsession currently. This one is rather different to the last; I hope that nobody is too disappointed but in this one you play as a passenger. In my 'research' I was watching things on youtube and I came across one video which had been made by special request of a particular route in a bus simulator as seen from the passenger view. 'Special request'?! That is perplexity and not criticism. Honestly I find transport sims and real world public transport pretty boring. But other people are passionate about these things and that fascinates me.

The thing I most enjoy about transport sims, especially older ones, is the janky scenery. As the focus is on the trains, buses, etc. less effort goes into representing passengers, buildings, etc. In this respect transport sims often seem to be a few years behind games in general on a technical level. I will spend more time looking at the blurry sprite people or the strangely distorted buildings than actually playing the game. I wanted to capture some of that in this game.

This a game about boredom really. I imagine the player character is really tired on their way home from work on the tram as other people are on the streets partying (a memory from years ago). Do you look out of the window and watch the world go by, do you browse stuff on your phone or play that cool new game? And also how long do you play this simulator before closing it?

CONTENT WARNING: The images on the browser on the phone are random and may contain offensive stuff. They were harvested with an image scraper and haven't been checked. In my testing I haven't come across anything bad but you never know.

Spin Spinner 101: Deuteroscopy Edition – X2 Evolved (cheap knockoff)

fizzhog — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 15:10:22 +0000

A fangame for tininsteelian's Spin Spinner series. I've recently played all of these again. I really like them. They seem so very GT, I'm surprised that they didn't get commented on at the time. It seemed a bit pointless to comment on such old games at this point so I thought I'd make something inspired by them instead. So this is in part a plea for people to have another look at these things.

Like a lot of things I make, this was a weaving together of various strands of thought going on at the moment. An interest in broken game physics. Use of randomness in making design decisions. A fascination with knockoffs or cheap clones especially related to things like tamagotchi.

A quick note about 'deuteroscopy' in the title. It was spat out at me by an online random word generator I was using; I'd never come across it before. One of the meanings of 'deuteroscopy' is "that which is seen upon a second view". So it's partly about what you might see if you look at these games a second time and also about the fact that when I first 'played' them I didn't realise they were interactive. 'Deuteroscopy' also means 'second sight' in the sense of clairvoyance - the two images in my game relate to this sense.

That's a lot of words about not much of a game. Sorry to waffle on but - even more than usual - I felt I had to justify this one to avoid seeming completely bonkers.

Controls: z and x

@ timinsteelian if you're not happy about this in any way then I'll take it down. It is meant as a thankyou for the fun and inspiration I've had from playing your games. If all is well then I may even consider looking at who else might be getting a fangame ... hmm. Or a jam maybe?

Bagatelle

fizzhog — Tue, 24 Sep 2019 14:20:01 +0000

Here's a tiny little game for you. Barely a game really. Bagatelle games are something that keep recurring in my thoughts about games. When I was a kid they were often given as stocking fillers at Christmas. And they were always disappointing, the bright colours promised more than the gameplay delivered. Originally I made something a bit more complex - it had scoring, multiple targets and the play area was double the size. But that wasn't what I wanted so I started again. I wanted something that was like a physical game you might make in a couple of hours out of bits and pieces you had lying around. I may even actually make some at some point. It's a personal game in an odd way; I've been thinking about childhood quite a lot because my mother died recently - which is why I've been away from game making and social media for a while - and I've been sorting through her possessions including things she'd kept from my childhood. So this is my return to game making and part of my response to a difficult few months.

Controls: space key to launch ball; z key to reset.

Finder's Cycle: Starcrawl

fizzhog — Sun, 16 Jun 2019 22:11:33 +0000

The second Finder's Cycle game. Again it's a take on the hidden object game. It's a slow game, ideally played when you're feeling relaxed. The stars can be very hard to find but if you relax and spend a little time adjusting to each new randomly generated image it gets easier. The sound also uses randomness to an extent; I'd recommend playing with headphones. More info in read me file.

Holdout

fizzhog — Thu, 29 Nov 2018 19:07:33 +0000

So I finally gave in and spent a couple of weeks learning Unity. Somehow it clicked this time – previously I’ve never got anywhere with it at all and have given up almost immediately. I did it because I really wanted to figure out how to make something in 3D that would run in a browser and Unity seemed like the best option. There’s not a lot to it but there is a little story, some cutscenes and some collecting gameplay. I would have uploaded it here as it’s really more of a GT sort of thing but with it being a browser game I put it on itch.

I’ve had a bit of a problem with colliders. It’s possible to get stuck on the scenery sometimes when jumping. I need to figure out a proper fix for that but for now the Z key might help.

Please let me know if it doesn’t run for you. I’m still trying to figure out the technicalities of browser games.

Controls:
WASD or arrow keys to move
Space to jump
X to interact
Z + WASD if you get stuck

Bucolic BINKY and the Clone Catastrophe

fizzhog — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 10:43:11 +0000

More a children's story than a game. I needed to explore some stuff in Blitz3d - figuring out a workflow for creating cutscenes. That seemed horribly dry so I thought I'd make it more fun by doing something with gisbrecht's BINKY models. Done as a learning exercise but I thought I'd share it as some of you might like it.

Many thanks to gisbrecht for sharing the assets - hope you enjoy this little BINKY tribute.
