A Day in the Life of a Hobby Game Programmer
Since October 12th 2004, I've been working on a micro game maker code named "Lediculous.*" A micro game is a game that can be completed in under 5 seconds. The idea is to string lots of micro games together to create one big game. Lediculous is designed to enable designers to create a micro game in under an hour.
I am going to post about every week or so, describing some thoughts, problems, and progress with Lediculous that will hopefully give insight into hobby game/application making. Enjoy.
*I have been told that "Lediculous" is a bad name, because it evokes racist imagery of Asians saying, "Ridiculous" in an "Asian" accent. However, the actual name of the software comes from LED as in, Light Emitting Diode, because micro games were first made popular on watches that used LEDs. I may change the title.
