Making a new game (roughly) every week for 2010

Let’s try this again

With the past month of GDC in San Francisco and attending PAX East and Anime Boston in Boston (natch) the progress of the One Week/Game project has been derailed slightly so to speak. But regardless of those events, hitting my goal of releasing a game every week even during normal times has come up a little short.

But the goal of the One Week/Game project never was to make a fully-functional polished game every week. Instead the goal was to explore different mechanics and systems for games on a regular basis and release those concepts or prototypes for others to play around with. I quickly strayed away from that goal, but now I think its time to get back to that.

So moving forward the focus of OW/G will shift accordingly. Instead of full-fledged games every week I’ll be working towards shells of games that explore some mechanic or system I happen to be interested in that week. Some of these “games” will be stupid simple and may not even have real win or lose states, but doing this will be more interesting for me and for everyone else.

Thanks for staying around everyone. I’m presenting this week at the Triangle Game Conference on rapid game prototyping and will be showing off a game there developed this week as an example. So stick around and welcome back!

  42. Moving home in Germany is very expensive, indeed the few miles from my little village to the barn cost me 2000.00 Euros, as much as it might have require me to pay with a UK removal firm to move my household goods all the way from Wales to southern Germany. Labour costs in Germany make moving house very costly, perhaps a primary reason why the labour marketplace is less flexible – people would rather stay put once they’ve moved to a location.

    Locating the village barn might not have been much of a challenge for my German removal firm, but carting my awkwardly shaped belongings in the narrow staircase in the barn it was! For very long term storage it’s imperative to occupy as little space as you possibly can by stacking items upwards and to keep belonging safe and dry. The next time I shall certainly invest in green, recyclable boxes when moving house again.
