fantomEngine got a new home

Michael Hartlef — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:12:30 +0000

Hi folks,

I am sure some wonder where all the fantomEngine related stuff went. As I wanted to keep things separate between the games I have created or will create in the future, I have moved all the tool related stuff over to my other domain at http://www.fantomgl.com. Please visit that site in the future for news about fantomEngine and also the Flurry module.

See you there

Play Neon Command 2 in your browser

Michael Hartlef — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:24:46 +0000

Hi folks,

I have published the current development version of Neon Command 2 to this very website.

Give it a ride and let me know what you think.

Game development status

Michael Hartlef — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:16:31 +0000

This year I plan on releasing more games. Besides all the other stuff I am working on in my spare time (fantomEngine and its guide, artwork for others), I am currently porting my game Neon Command to Monkey. Of course I am using fantomEngine for it! You might wonder why do I do this, as I have a running and published version already made with Gideros Studio. Because this gives me a good feedback regarding the performance inside fantomEngine. And I want to be able to reach more target platforms.

So far everything looks perfect. As I am leaving physics out it for now, I will probably call it Neon Command 2. It will feature some new bonus weapons, other enemies and maybe more stuff. The game will be released for free on Google Play, the Amazon Market Place and I will try to reach Black Berry with it too. It will be displaying ads and I hope it will get some decent amount of plays. Of course, an HTML5 version is also planned. Monkey makes it really easy to publish the same game on many platforms.

Once this game is out of the door I will try to publish Comet Crusher 2 too as by then, I will have all the basic game framework (Menus, score lists, etc. etc.) done (though Neon Command) and just need to exchange the game play itself. Maybe I will use another sample game from my book to release a third game. At The Docks is a good cannidate for it and it is one of my favorite games from the book. Would be nice to have a level editor right build into the game. Again, both games will also be free and ad supported. Monkeys new Admob module makes it easy to implement and I want to try this route.

Anyway, these are exiting times. So many ideas and not enough time in a day to work on them. But isn’t it always like that? What are you working on in 2013?

Take care
Michael

Neon Command not available for iOS anymore

Michael Hartlef — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 07:20:47 +0000

Do to financial reasons, Neon Command is not available anymore for iOS platforms. The sales were almost none existent and I could not justify to extend my developer subscription there. So for now it will be Android only.

All new…

hi folks,

I am sure, that you are wondering where everything went on my site. I decided to clear everything up and make a new start. This time it will be only about the software that I create. No personal ramblings, no talk about how good/bad other peoples software is. Just about my applications and games. It will take a few days/weeks but then things will be back in order. Also I have to look for a decent wordpress theme for this side and create new graphics.

So, thanks for visiting and please come back in 2-3 weeks.

Best
Michael Hartlef
