A game where you help Scruff McGruff take a bite out of crime. Every time I see your name, Mr. McQuack, I can't help but think of the old Scruff McGruff commercials and substitute 'Squack McQuack' in for 'Scruff McGruff' in the jingle.

Well, you're spot-on. My name is taken from this video featuring Squack himself. Specifically this part. I think one of the people who made the video was a goon.

WARNING: I did not say that the linked video is a good video. It is not. It's mostly just an inside joke between my friend and I.

As I've made these games I have learned that it really helps to sketch it out first. It gives me an idea of what objects I need to make and how many art sets each should have. Here are the two I've made so far:

# 5 - "Buy! Sell!"


#6 - "Zandatsu"


Oh and yes, there will be a new episode tomorrow.

I guess life really does imitate art.

Anyway, for another game idea, how about one based off of the Lady or the Tiger? Basic idea is, you have two doors, and you have to tap one. Behind one is a tiger that mauls you and makes you lose, behind the other is a lady and you win. Which door leads to the tiger would be, of course, randomized each time.

It would be edutiantional!

Alternately, a game about preventing the Lady from burning down the building with her eye lasers.

I don't know if this would be too much to code in one game (file limits and all), but make it both:

Open a door.

If it's the tiger, you have to do something to stop the tiger.

If it's the lady, you have to stop the eyebeams.

Seems like it'd be doable. Just stick a randomizer in there, if the switch is on you make the tiger appear, if it's off you make the lady appear. All the code for stopping them could be attached to the individual object, so you probably wouldn't need to check the randomizer again after that point.

I'm going to be away at a wedding for the next 5 days, so I'm not sure if there will be an episode next week.

Also, I had no idea what The Lady and the Tiger was so I gave it a read. I see where :lost: got its inspiration from.

Tap the thing is basically the only type of game that you can make in DIY. You can't even drag the thing, you can only tap it.

You're absolutely right. While it's true that tapping on the screen is the only available input method, I need to use it in more creative ways (ex: Bitcoin game). I'll try to think of something different for next episode.

I was right when I said I wouldn't have time to make an episode for today. I was in Maryland at a friend's wedding during my usual recording days.

Can this be a game? The game would stop on the last panel and the words "move past" and "heal" float by and you have to catch them.

Currently working on a remake of your Zandatsu-game. I forgot how fun this game was!
If it interests anyone, back when I was planning formats for a potential LP of the ams, one idea was to invite pixel artists, have them come up with designs then make a mini game using their assets while discussing aspects of pixel art.
