Funny thing happened, today.
Every day, my Archive Admin script scans the database for any games that I've released on this day in history. Today (Thursday, yesterday!) it plucked out "The CW Quest" and so I mentioned it in the Shoutbox.
The CW Quest was a game I made when CodersWorkshop was unceremoniously stomped all over by an evil fire breathing IdigiDragon.
It wasn't until about 12 hours later, lying in bed, about to drift off that I suddenly realised something..
... If CodersWorkshop closed... Then... .... Doesn't that mean....
*checks*
SoCoder was 7 years old last Thursday, and I didn't even bloody well remember.
D'oh!
Happy Birthday, SoCoder!!
Apologies that the newsletter's so late. Had a hospital appointment on Thursday, so my regular schedule's out of whack!
Sometimes, you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time working on something, then swiftly ignore it. You might as well have not even bothered to do it in the first place. But, hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time! socoder.net/?topic=3646

We've all coded things that we inevitably left behind. What's the biggest thing you've coded that you never actually used? socoder.net/?topic=3646
; OUYA!
Spinal gives us his opinions on the OUYA. The good, the bad, and the ugly controller! socoder.net/?topic=3648
SophieH has to decided to pull a game from OUYA because, frankly, they don't appear to actually give a shit, anymore.
They've got their console funded, and are riding a wave of love, blindly ignoring all the crap that's going on around them.
The shit's hit the fan, and Sophie's not taking any of their crap. www.sophiehoulden.com/rose-and-time-no-longer-on-ouya/

Andy Ovine's been banging on about this one on Facebook all week, so I figured it was worth giving it a go.
An iOS game, 69p, typical balls-in-a-maze tilty thing.
It's not terrible, but.. .. Man, it's quiet!! itunes.apple.com/gb/app/tilterz/id678561714?mt=8
Someone's remaking Desert Strike! Would be nice to play this, but they've decided to go the GreenLight route, so EA have plenty of opportunity to destroy it, LONG before it gets anywhere near us.
Whatever happened to people just actually releasing things?! FFS! Modern gaming sucks!! socoder.net/?topic=3650

Watch as Carter Dotson struggles to explain what's good about BlastTrax without resorting to phrases like "ooooh, colours!" and "aaaah, colours!!!" youtu.be/Av2EdvVVZF4
