 This past Wednesday the pastor at my Church talked about success in life.  A couple of his tips to achieve success stuck with me.  The first is to determine where you are now.  The second is to determine exactly what success looks like. So I'm going to do that in this blog post. First I'll take a look at past success that have gotten me where I'm at now. Volcosis has over 1000 downloads and the Youtube trailer has 1,800 views.  There was an article written about it on IndieGames.com - http://indiegames.com/2013/07/freeware_pick_volcosis_a_new_p.html  And it was pretty well accepted.  A cool thing about the game is that I was able to get permission from my favorite vocaloid artist, Monaca:Factory, to use the song "Flash" for the credits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lxTGXfRGoM&feature=kp I've design a couple banners for Nintendo-Okie.com and I was invited to be a guest on the Nintendo Okie Podcast to talk about some Wii remote designs I...

I've come to the realization that Wild Western may be a bit too much for me to handle all by myself.  So I've decided to find an artist (or 2, or 3) to work with who can do some of the many buildings, characters, and other random stuff. If you're an artist and would like to be a part of this ambitious project, "Read more" for details.

     In honor of the Game Boy's 25th anniversary, I'm excited to introduce to you my current project, "Wild Western".      Wild Western is a post-apocalyptic Game Boy style retro western RPG. (how's that for an elevator pitch?)      Humanity has been nearly wiped by a mysterious set of circumstances.  And the survivors have been forced to take refuge underground.  After years of adjustment, the townsfolk have finally settled in, and have now started life anew.  But soon, series of events will take place that could threaten the last of humanity.  It's up to you to stop those events and unravel who's behind it all.      You can choose to play as one of four main characters:    -A rugged mysterious cowboy    -A grown boy trying to learn what it takes to be a man    -The despised entrepreneurial businesswoman who practically owns the town    ...

So, after releasing Partly Pop Can (go buy it now - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.angelwirestudio.ppc ) I got bored and made a simple runner game.  So after 3 days of work, I present to you, "Sunset Runner"- Sunset Runner is an extremely simple yet extremely challenging endless running game. Simply tap the screen to jump over the obstacles. Tap once to jump, again to double jump, and a third time to triple jump. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.angelwire.aag Screenshots:

I heard about the candyjam through twitter and I thought it would be fun to participate.  For anyone that doesn't have a clue what a "candyjam" is, I'll explain it.  The popular game company King.com has filed a trademark for the word "candy" as well as a few other common words.  The purpose of the game jam is to make a game themed around candy, with the word in the title, in protest.  So that is what I have done.  I present to you "Candy & Crunch":
