Coolboyman's News

Posted by Coolboyman - April 7th, 2014


So for about 1 1/2 years, I was a programmer on a large Unity project called Jump Tanks!  A stable build was created for IGN's Media Indie Exchange (MIX) right before GDC and people seemed to like what we came out with!

Jump Tanks is a multiplayer action game with RPG elements. Strike down your foes, earn new tank parts, and use them to make all sorts of crazy tanks!

Some triple A talent went into this game, and I'll forever be extrelemy grateful that they took a chance on me (while I was still in college too!) and allowed me to contribute.  I'll forever be grateful for my time at MBS games, I learned a lot and got the opportunity to work with some amazing talent. 

We're still looking for a publisher to help us finish the game, so if you know one (or are one), I can refer you over to my good friend Casey, the idea man behind this game and the founder of Mechanical Butterfly Studios.

Let me know what you think!  I'm still also creating content for Newgrounds, two flash games in the works! (By the way Tom, thanks for keeping EMIT on the front page for over a month!)

First of all I'd like to thank you all for how well EMIT's been doing on Newgrounds and the other websites that have offered to host it.  I'd also like to thank Tom and Newgrounds for keeping it on the front page for this long and giving me and Styx a shoutout in one of their follow fridays!

I'll remove the site lock (even though other sites have already done that for me) sometime this week.  I'll also try to make an android version.  GatherX will be appearing on Armor Games as well!

If you remember that I said I was working on one last flash game... well now it's two games. Somebody showed me an unfinished flash game with tons of potential that I'm happy to help get done.  

I did the voice of the boss in this short: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/635342 The skull however was done by the very talented Blordow.

Also next week is GDC and I'll be attending again this year, should be fun!

So the game's finally out if you didn't know already!

I'm working on one more flash game and then moving onto Unity 2D development for future games.  Also a big game I worked on at my previous job's getting announced next month.

Whole lotta news from me.

First of all, a new game I worked on came out yesterday!  I'll submit it to Newgrounds on Thursday.  It's gotten some pretty insane views so far as far as flash games go!

I also tried voice acting for my friend Gerkinman's cartoon.  It got Daily First as well!

I worked on two games for the global game jam last week. One I submitted to NG, another I'm going to incldue into a future mini-game collection.  Needless to say, I'm never programming for two games at the same time for a game jam ever again...

As far as "EMIT" goes, we're still looking for a decent sponsorship.  We'll see how that goes...

While I'm in between jobs, I'm freelancing for other people making games. I'm also an assistant teacher for game developing classess at the Academy of Art Univesrity (San Francisco) and Cal State East Bay.

Hi, I'm trying to get a game released by next week, and I need people to test it!

I need people who will actually test the game. By that I mean people who will do everything they possibly can to break the game, as well as give detailed feedback on the glitches they find.

Comments like "It froze" doesn't help, but comments like "It froze when I jumped and pressed space three times in a row in level 2" can help me track and eliminate glitches. I would also like some feedback on the game.

Do you think it's too easy? Too hard? Did you find it fun? Which parts did you like? Which parts did you hate?

So if you're interested let me know and I'll get in touch with you.

I've attached a screenshot of the game in action.

Looking for Beta Testers for my game.

So I'm interested in programming for small Flash or Unity games. I'm not interested in starting a game from scratch, I just want to jump into a group that already has a game plan who needs a programmer.

I'm a recent college graduate (Computer Science) who's currently employed as a video game programmer for a small company. I am experienced in Actionscript 3 and Unity3D (C#).

I'm currently working on two flash games for people and I hope to expand on that. I'm not interested in money (even though it's a bonus), I just program to program as well as hopes to help bring some great games to this site!

So if you need a programmer to finish up your game, I'm most likely your guy.
