    Clouds and Sheep

    Actually it's been quite a while since I played it, I had forgotten about it until I posted this thread, so I've forgotten many of the smaller details. If I remember correctly, you have to look after sheep by making sure they get fed, protect them from lightning and the weather and that kind of...

    Anyone work on/develop their own game?

    It can be frustrating when that happens. Especially when you spent hours coding it from scratch. However, we are now in the day of Dropbox, cloud computing and flash drives. You have no excuse for not backing up your work! lol.

    Your decent games

    I hadn't heard of Crossy Roads until a few days ago but it does seem to be taking off in popularity. I don't know what it is with games like this. It's what I used to play as a kid over twenty years ago. Up until mobile apps started becoming all the rage, kids weren't interested in playing games...

    Hay Day

    I haven't actually played Hay Day myself but I do know there has been a lot of hype over it recently. I'm actually quite surprised to learn that it's already been around for as long as two years, seeing as I only heard of it recently and have also seen it being advertised on television in recent...

    Clouds and Sheep

    This is one mobile game which has been around for quite a while now. A few years in fact. I know it's available on Android/Google Play but have no idea if you can get it on iPhone. It's also one of those few games that has actually stuck in my memory for being so good and there aren't many...

    Do you think kids play games too much?

    I agree that it's becoming a problem but only really because parents these days are allowing it to become a problem. Many parents these days grew up with the technology but it wasn't so widespread back then. I don't think they realize the dangers and may believe their own misconceptions about...

    Your decent games

    I think Shadow Gun has to be my favourite, although I'm sure there are much better games out there. I'm pretty sure there's an adventure version which requires no internet and there's also a multiplayer version which is kind of like a simplified futuristic version of Call Of Duty or...

    Developing A Mobile Game

    I recently had an idea for a guitar training app after searching Google Play and finding that there are no decent ones out there. There are plenty of these types of apps out there, but they are just not very good and I have some great ideas to include in such an app which would make it awesome...

    In-Game Purchases

    I have never ever bought any in-game purchases and I don't think it's fair that some games prevent you from getting further without doing so. If you can still finish the game without them and yet they come in useful then I may be tempted but when a game tries to force you into doing so, that's...

    Do you think kids play games too much?

    I don't think that my own kids play games anywhere near as much games as I did when I was a kid. Of course, I was really into it and wasn't just fascinated by the games themselves but also the graphics, sound effects, music and the whole creation process in general which is why I wanted to be a...

    Anyone work on/develop their own game?

    Being into graphic design probably would, at the very least, let you get involved in designing games. The one thing that puts me off making games is that I am terrible at designing/drawing my own graphics. Back when I first started learning, graphics weren't such a big deal back then because the...

    Have Games taught you anything?

    I agree that games have had a bad rap over the years. Especially considering that it has now been scientifically proven that games can be extremely good for you and help exercise the brain. Obviously,many games are intentionally educational, such as quiz games and puzzle games for example...

    do you pay for games

    I have never paid for a mobile app or game. I usually find that either the free version does me fine, or if there isn't a free version then there's usually a free alternative available which is usually just as good. If I was really impressed with the free version of an app or game then I may be...

    Is mobile games gonna kill handhelds?

    It seems to be that mobile devices (i.e. smartphones and tablets) have already killed handhelds, at least in my area anyway. I hardly hear of anyone having a 3DS or a PS Vita any more. Most people around here seem to be happy enough with their main consoles and their mobile devices. Whilst I...

    Do you develop your own apps/games?

    If you have an Android device you can download an app called AIDE (Android Integrated Development Environment). That's really all you need. There is a free version and a paid version but the full version doesn't cost much. I imagine that RPG games would be a little easier to make than a lot of...

    Anyone work on/develop their own game?

    I have also used Game Maker - or more specifically, the full version of Game Maker 8. It's a really good piece of software and can be great fun to use. It's so easy to make a side-scrolling 2D game with this program. It also has it's own programming language (GML - Game Maker Language) and does...

    Whats your favorite FPS ever?

    There's definirely a lot to choose from, that's for sure. Personally I did like the Half Life and bioshock games quite a lot, but there's just so many otgers that keep popping into my mind. One game I did also enjoy which a lot of people doby rste was Medal Of Honor.

    Anyone work on/develop their own game?

    Making music for games was something I always wanted to get into too but the only games I've ever had my music in were games I made myself. So, yes I have developed my own games but most of them were made many years ago on older platforms. I've been trying to get into developing Android apps...

    Anyone remember the Amiga?

    Does anyone remember the Commodore Amiga 500 (and other models)? Or am I showing my age again? These computers were so much fun, not just for games but also for demos and public domain libraries. We used to make good money back in the day selling floppy disks with public domain software on them...

    What is the very first video game you remember playing...

    Oh man, now this is really going to show my age! The first game I ever remember playing was Hungry Horace on the Commodore 64. I have no idea how old I was back then but I was very young, I know that.
