Developing 6 Games in 6 Days
As a part of an open pledge challenge every participant had to do something every day and upload the result in our group. I took on the challenge of creating and uploading a game every day after work.
DAY 1
Trevor versus Pigeons
The first game is called Trevor versus Pigeons. The challenge is to hit as many pigeons as possible in the fall from a skyscraper.
DAY 2
Little Invadeur
The second game is a personal take on a the classic game Space Invaders. In my version it is you that must invade.

The sixth and final game is called BLITZY. It as an abstract game where you have to avoid laser shots and collect power dots while the game becomes increasingly chaotic.

Post-mortem
Creating a game every day for six days while still staying on schedule was a challenge. I practiced rapid game prototyping in Game Maker Studio and can look back at it as a tough but exciting and rewarding experience. I would happily recommend any game designer try it.
