  1. PCWorld mentioned Spin Spin today, which gave spinsp.in a nice bump in traffic! pcworld.com/article/256661…
  2. Updated chrishughesgames.com for the first time in 18 months. Wow! Have I been away for that long?
  3. @IndieGamerChick @KrisWD40 @toythatkills If you like floaty games, you really should play Old School Adventure. It floats all day long!
  4. Stick with block graphics or bring on a pixel artist for Spin Spin? What do you think? spinsp.in
  5. Stats for my new website: 51% Chrome, 37% Firefox, 5% IE... I didn't realize how far the browser wars had come!
  6. @IndieGamerChick Use yours. If you think of them like categories, a single game could be in 2 or more. E.g. Shooters and multi-player games.
  7. @BallerIndustry I used AS3 and FlashDevelop IDE. I wanted a simple path onto the browser, plus I hadn't used Flash before.
  8. @BallerIndustry Thanks man. What have you been working on lately?
  9. 200+ people played Spin Spin in 2 days. Having exchanged the #XBLIG new releases list for Flash, I'll take that result! spinsp.in
  10. Lots of great Spin Spin feedback from the TIGSource community! Still got some work to do... forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topi…
  11. @mikemariano Thanks man. Any improvements you would like to see in future episodes? Cheers.
  12. @terrycavanagh Thought for a moment I'd broken some unwritten rule by tweeting it before you. Saw what? :P
  13. @terrycavanagh Hi Terry, I saw Spin Spin appear then disappear from @figames. I hope I didn't jump the gun by tweeting it...
  14. Chuffed to see Spin Spin on @figames given it was inspired by #VVVVVV freeindiegam.es/2012/05/spin-s…
  15. @increpare Thanks man. Btw, your game site is very curious. :)
  16. @terrycavanagh @figames The goal of the first episode was to prove the core mechanic works without the peripheral stuff. Glad you liked it.
  17. @terrycavanagh Hi Terry, I've just posted a short game inspired by VVVVVV. Would really appreciate your thoughts. spinsp.in
  18. If VVVVVV and And Yet It Moves had a love child it might resemble Spin Spin. The first episode is now available at spinsp.in
  19. @Chounard @KrisWD40 Who needs MonoGame when you've got a Chounard...
