Coil

Coil is a game Florian (programmer of triachnid) and I have been working on for some time. Its a game about life and death, it might not be for everyone but its something im very proud of.

Give it a try.

Coil is an experimental flash game with no instruction or clear direction.
Please keep an open mind while playing.

Coil uses the mouse exclusively.

Blast Miner now only $9.95

Blast Miner is now only $9.95, that's less than 10 dollars! You want to buy it!

In other news, we spent a couple weeks making a Flash game, which would've taken less time if it wasn't for the plethora of bugs and quirks in ActionScript 3.0. The resulting game is Blood Car! 2000! which some people are calling the one of the greatest works of art of the 21st century. Decide for yourself by playing it here:

1st official beta screen shot

So its been a few weeks since we have updated about Gish 2 so i thought it was probably time to update with a screen shot of the current build.

Flash is fun!

So since i didn't do a Gish 2 post last week, and Alex and i took a week off this week, I though id fill in the gap with a little update on what else I've been doing these days.

Gish 2 takes up the meat of my time now a days, but when I have extra time I put it into the many side projects I attempt to juggle.

I tend to do flash games in sets of 3. the last 3 being weltling, dumpling and peashy. Currently im working on a series of 3 online multui-player games with a stripped down simple theme. the 1st game being Host, a super simple fighting game stripped down to 2 attacks.

the 2nd game in the series is Bacterium, a simplified turn based strategy game that plays kind of like chess meets warcraft but set inside someones body... this one is being programmed by Eli Piilonen (of stranded fame) and is due out by the end of the year.



3rd is an RTS that plays like a base defense game. You play as a colony of maggots inside a decomposing carcass. The games called Grub and like the first two it will also be online vs.

Grub is being programmed by Josh (psycho goldfish) creator of Mini putt and webmaster of webgamemagazine.com. This one will launch on a new multi-player flash server created by Josh by the end of the year.



The 4th game is very close to completion and something Florian (triachnid) an I have been working on for some time. Originally planned as "a game in a week" Coil turned into a much bigger project that ive been over thinking for some time now and I finally think we have something really worth playing. I cant talk much about gameplay but the game is based on death (life?) and plays around the idea of there being no clear rules or "hand holding" through out the experience. Coil is due out in a month or so.

And finally, the side project that has been put on hold until Florian is out of the army, Guppy. Guppy is a 2d side scroller that kinda plays like GTA.. but not. its hard to explain and also still very early in development, but I couldn't help but post a little video of it.

I hope this update tides you over for a while.

Host

So last night Host went live on Newgrounds and Diverge.ws.

Host is a simple and fun online flash fighting game that Caulder and i entered into the IGF.

You play a "Host", reanimated balls of guts that are being controlled by the parasites inside them.
I cant think of anything else creative or funny to say here, so just check the game out.
