2014 Calendar and Plans

This year, due to “Ladyraine” being too busy with family matters to create artwork so I have decided to combine my 2014 Blazing Games Plans with the calendar. The biggest change is a switch to Monthly releases.

January 2014Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

1New Year's Day

2 3 4

5 6 7 8 9 10 11

12 13 14 15 16 17 18

19 20Martin Luther King, Jr's Day (US)

21 22 23 24 25

26 27 28 29 30 31

The reason for switching to monthly is the simple fact that I want to work on larger projects and creating content for the site simply too draining on my time. I still plan on entering the

more interesting Game Jams so there will be plenty of new and interesting stuff coming.

February 2014Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

For those of you who prefer more regular content, My development blog will be going weekly with the focus being the creation of a NES RPG. This development will be as it happens with sub-articles teaching how 6502 assembly and the NES works so the series can be thought of as an elaborate tutorial.

One of the games I want to do more with is Solid Light. Multiple levels and additional puzzle

elements are just the start of my plans for this

game.

The collapse series was my mother's favourite series so I wanted to do something with

it. I have a couple of different projects in mind, but am not sure which of the radically different paths I want to go

down.

May 2014Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

The larger projects will be developed for a variety of tablets and OSes. My two bigger projects are still fairly small projects as I want to get a feel for developing cross-platform games before starting the

real big project I want to do.

June 2014Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

8 9 10 11 12 13 14Flag Day (US)

I am not going to say what exactly what this big game is as I fear it will curse the project and this project has already had enough delays. It is in fact embarrassing how many times I started working on this project only to put it on the back burner when something else has come up.

July 2014Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

1CanadaDay

2 3 4Independence Day (US)

In fact there are a number of projects that I would like to finish if I ever got the chance. If there is a month where I can't find a Game Jam I want to participate in, Games like Zombies Forever, may get an update.

There are also a few non-game but still entertainment projects that I have started such as Tarot. Actually, there are a number of card games that use the Tarot cards that I already have so that is also new game material if needed.

Though one project that I really should get back to work on if I have time is Moon Base Z. Granted, the engine for this game is really old ray-casting technology and there are a lot of game libraries with much more modern rendering

techniques so...

I most certainly will want to spend some of my time researching new development tools. There are a lot of game making tools available, many for fairly reasonable prices, so it only makes sense to see if any of them

are good enough to meet my needs. Even if I only use them for rapid prototyping it is still worth investigation.

So even with the reduced release schedule for BlazingGames it is clear that I still have too much on my plate. Still I will be trying to turn Blazing Games into something more than a hobby so wish me luck!
