J Force Games vs GyroVorbis

RinkuHero — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 01:59:53 -0700

For an interesting bit of indie game developer drama, notorious braggarts J Force Games challenged some indie group named GyroVorbis (?) to a contest: which of their current in-production games will get a higher average review score after release?

GyroVorbis was having none of it though, and perhaps wisely refused the challenge, instead making ~~a small game mocking~~ part of their game mock JForce Games.

The videos are entertaining to watch, especially if you've heard of J Force before. I think people tend to take J Force too seriously, GyroVorbis included. They're just kids having fun and making games, nothing you should hate them over.

I talked to their marketing guy over instant message today and he's much nicer and less arrogant in person than he is in his videos. And he does seem to know a lot about marketing, so he's not all just hot air.

All in all, I'm happy J Force Games exists, they liven up the indie game community.

Let's Play Quite Soulless

Quite Soulless is an interesting game I played today, I found it on the indiegamer.com forums. It was created by a single Russian individual, creating his dream game.

As expected, everyone there laughed at it. But I love it! Just look at that trailer!! So I'm posting it here for you all to love too.

"My dreams have the strange essence."

"Sometimes they scare."

"I don't know where to go. I'll go to you!!"

Here's the game's site: http://www.quitesoulless.com/index.htm

I don't actually recommend playing it though, because it's barely playable. Here's a video I made of myself playing the game, and I narrated it a bit afterwards. Forgive my boring voice, it was my first Let's Play and I'm sure I'll get better at narrating stuff in the future.

100 Games in 10 Minutes

There are many 100 Games in 10 Minutes videos on YouTube. I created my own, for Game Maker. But here is a collection of them.

100 Game Maker Games in 10 Minutes

100 Clickteam Games in 10 Minutes

100 Amiga Games in 10 Minutes

100 Commodore 64 Games in 10 Minutes

100 SNES (Super Nintendo) Games in 10 Minutes

100 NES (Nintendo) Games in 10 Minutes

100 Genesis / Mega Drive Games in 10 Minutes

100 GBC (Game Boy Color) Games in 10 Minutes

100 GBA (Game Boy Advance) Games in 10 Minutes

100 Game Boy Games in 10 Minutes

100 ZX Spectrum Games in 10 Minutes

100 N64 (Nintendo 64) Games in 10 Minutes

100 PS1 (Playstation 1) Games in 10 Minutes

100 PS2 (Playstation 2) Games in 10 Minutes

100 MSX Games in 10 Minutes

50 MMF (Multimedia Fusion) Games in 10 Minutes

100 Arcade Games in 10 Minutes

Note I didn't make all of these, only the Game Maker one. There are still plenty of consoles and game engines missing, and I'd like to do 100 Games in 10 Minutes videos for the following: Ohrrpge Games, Indie (Independent Games), and Atari 2600 Games. I also haven't seen these consoles with 100 games in 10 minutes videos yet, which is surprising: Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, Sega Master System, Sega CD, Gameboy DS, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Atari Jaguar, etc., though perhaps those consoles don't have 100 good games worth showing? Anyway, hope you enjoy this collection, and email me (rinkuhero at gmail dot com) if you have any additions.
