|   | Games in Development (Teaser) New Games! They're all in early stages of development, so I can't say yet when they'll be available. But, roughly.. Lil Sprout will be later this year, and the other 2 next year.

|
:: Mega Panda
Mega Panda is a puzzle game in the same format as CC @ & ZPG @ -- it has a set of hand-designed puzzles and an editor. The player can scoop up and merge a few pandas to produce a single, larger panda. The goal is to do this until there is only one, very big 'MEGA-PANDA' remaining.

:: Conflux
Conflux is an ecological action game. The player takes control of a powerful peacock-like creature whose task is to manage an ecosystem of increasing complexity. Every now and then a new species is added to the mix, and it's up to you to maintain the balance.

:: Lil Sprout
Lil Sprout is based on a Ludum Dare @ 48h entry I made a couple of years ago (Super Sprout). This game is all about growing impressive plants out of your head.

|   | :: Oh, that looks great! I just hope it doesn't go a bit 'jeff minter' on us in the End Game screenshot.

|   | :: Hehe.. yep, it goes completely Jeff Minter on you. But there's no need to see what's going on by that stage. I'll try and keep the playable parts readable, I promise.

|   | :: Are you using SDL for most things here Joseph?

|   | :: Yep, actually I use the same library for all of my inhouse games which uses SDL for the low-level things. It's sort of like a stripped down version of Allegro.
For Lil Sprout I decided to switch to Haxe though. I think it would make a good web game, and open source flash development tools have become quite comfortable to use recently.

Hopefully the other projects don't distract you too much ;)

|   | :: Ha. Yes, I have a good deal of distractions. This is only the tip of the iceberg!
I certainly bit off more than I could chew with Conflux though, so it's sleeping for now: @
Mega Panda's still coming along nicely. Right now I'm figuring out how to animate pandas merging into each other. As it turns out, noone knows what that looks like.
