2018.03.04 Clueless Artist and gameplay tuning
Hello and welcome to the weekend Zazmo Arcade Pack (ZAP) update!
What has been happening this week?
If you have been following along you know we are currently in Early Access. To that end we have some videos of our friends playing the game in this update! Check out the links below.
Well, most of the time was spent tuning the games and getting the high scores hooked up. Up until now the local high scores were connected but we added in the Steam Friends and Global high scores. So yes, you can now see how the rest of the world is doing!
We also continued with specific game tunes. This time we were looking at the game Last Stand and giving it a couple of tweaks to make it more fun. One thing we adjusted was the amount of control the player has. The ships were a slight bit sluggish so we corrected them to be more responsive. We also fixed an issue where enemy ships would target players as they spawned on screen. This lead to a lot of instant kills and quick deaths for player. That’s all gone now.
During the week we started up two new series on game development. We did a segment on the Clueless Artist and had a game night. The Clueless artist took a look at making art for Zazmo and walked our programmer Joshua through the process of a “Get hit” animation. He made the art, animated it and then implemented it himself.
Game night saw us playing a few old classis arcade games in order to get ideas for a new Zazmo Pack. Of course there was a lot of scream and yelling as you might guess!
Check out the video below for a recap of the week as well as a look at some of the Zazmo playthroughs.
Indie Plays Zazmo - short segment and we queued it up to the beginning!
We talk about game dev while scream and shouting at arcade games from nearly 30 years ago.

2018.02.24 Zazmo Weekend Update, video and more!
Hello everyone and welcome to the Zazmo Development Update!
We have something pretty special this time around. As you might already know we have a twice weekly game development stream on Twitch. Well, this week we started a new segment for the Zazmo Arcade called “The Clueless Programmer”. In this series our lead programmer Joshua will teach ME how to program a game (well, how to program parts of a game)!
We have two episodes to share with you. In the first one Joshua walks me thourgh some special effects and tuning work. In episode two we go a little bigger and I get to make a new object in GameMaker and add in my own code!
The idea here is we will be taking small programming projects from the Zazmo Arcade Pack and turning them into video tutorials. Check it out and see what you think! We’d love to know if you enjoy them.
