On January 23, 2015, an amazing thing happened. Tens of thousands of developers joined forces for 48 hours and produced a huge number of games for Global Game Jam 2015. It was easily the best weekend I’ve had in a long, long time and I recommend anybody who loves to design or develop in any […]
Things have been quiet for a little while here at Sturdy Games- and I thought it was about time we updated everyone! Development of Red Forest is going very well. Things have not been perfect, however, as we realise that with just the two of us and the time we have available to develop, the […]

I’ve done it! My first #1GAM game is complete. Joust! can be played here. Total coding time: 14 hours 47 minutes, with 1 hour 13 minutes left. I should be honest here. CODING is complete. The artwork is not quite complete with two/three icons missing- These are being done by someone else and are still being […]
So my first game will be a Joust “Simulator” – It’s no really a simulator as such, as it is somewhat of a strategy/rapid-click action game. my 1x A4 design doc is here: — ONE GAME A MONTH — ONE GAME A PAGE!!!! All HTML5, Android, iOS. 1) “Knights Tale” (can’t call it […]
