a domain? … :)

Yesterday a really nice guy called q23p sponsored me the domain http://bitowl.de with webspace on his server.

At the moment there’s just the normal homepage which has originally been at http://bitowl.bplaced.net, but maybe I’ll create a german blog there.

a short break from Android-game development

As you may know I’m working on multiplayer for Scribble Jump at the moment.

In one week I’ll have two weeks autumn holidays. In this time I will take a break from android-game development…

 

…and will develop another game

The game will be only written in this holidays and should be completed at the end. It’s part of a contest I have with some other schoolmates. The contest is about who develops the coolest, best looking and most fun game for the linux-computers in our school in just the time of this autumn holidays.

 

After the holidays I will get back to android development and continue multiplayer for ScribbleJump.

there’s too much space in the menu

Hey guys,

I redesigned the menu so that you have to slide down to start instead of jump up, as some people were totally confused by the old menu.

I still like the way the menu works, but it looks really empty now. Maybe you have an idea, what I could put there?

new menu

Hey guys,

Today I made a new menu for ScribbleJump.

You can now jump in the menu on the platforms and when you are on the top the game begins. To get to the options,highscorelist and credits you have to wipe with your finger in the direction you want to go to (atm. on the left are the highscorelist and the credits; on the right the options).

I hope you like it.

feedback on ScribbleJump

At the scenery beta competition the creators of the games had to explain their votes and so I at least got some feedback on Scribble Jump

The following quotes are from http://android.scenebeta.com/node/3529 and are free translated using google translator.

2. scribble-jump, juegos como este ya hay varios, muchos, pasa como con angry birds pero aun asi el juego divierte, entretiene y eso es lo importante.
2. scribble-jump, there are many games likes this, like angry birds, but the game is still fun and entertaining and that’s important.

2. ScribbleJump. “Igualito” al Doodle Jump. Hasta puedo decir que este es mejor! Es gratuito y su jugabilidad es un poco mejor. La verdad que los gráficos no me han gustado mucho, ese sería un aspecto a revisar, a demás que un sistema de “temas” como tiene el Doodle Jump. Por lo demás, gran juego.
2. ScribbleJump. It’s “just like” Doodle Jump. I can even say that it’s better! It’s free and the gameplay is a bit better. To be honest. I do not like the graphics. This is an aspect that could be improved. Other than that there should be “themes” like in Doodle Jump. Otherwise, great game.

2. ScribbleJump de bitowl: La posibilidad de usar el acelerómetro combinada con la interfaz estilo dibujo (algo que me parece genial) y la habilidad que te pide para poder superar el juego, hacen un homebrew más que entretenido. Sobre todo me gusta la forma en la que te muestra tu puntuación actual y las puntuaciones que se han registrado, roza un punto de originalidad muy elevado.
2. ScribbleJump by bitowl: The possibility to use the accelerometer combined with a like handdrawn interface (something I think is great) makes it a more entertaining homebrew. I especially like the way it shows your current score and the scores that have been recorded. This touches a very high point of originality.

1. ScribbleJump – Como puntos positivos, es divertido, los gráficos son adequados y es dificil de programar. Como negativos, es poco original ya que se parece mucho al DoodleJump.
1. ScribbleJump – Good points, it’s fun, the graphics are fitting and it is difficult to program. Negative is that it’s not very original because it resembles Doodle Jump.

At the moment it seems like Scribble Jump will only get the third place, but that’s more than enough for me. (I’d rather appreciate more feedback ).

well. now I will get back to coding.

new logo [wip]

Well, I’m again playing around with the logo.

I appreciate any feedback.

multiplayer via bluetooth?

Hey guys,

at the moment I’m thinking about making a multiplayer mode where you can play Scribble Jump against your friends via bluetooth.

I want to know if you have got experiences with bluetooth or can tell me where I can find a good tutorial (maybe it’s enough to read through http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/wireless/bluetooth.html ?)

I hope you can help me

a new logo?

I made a new launcher logo for Scribble Jump.

Do you like it or have suggestions?
