Lumixed4E4
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Here’s an old game I did with artist and musician Steve Bisson.
It’s a lumines clone with dynamic soundtracks and various, themed tile sets. We had a lot more levels ready to go but backed out of selling it to avoid issues with the publisher and developer of the original game.
We submitted this version of the game as an entry into GameDev.net’s 4E4 (4 Elements, 4th competition) much to the annoyance of some participants due to it being a skinned / themed version of a game that was already in development. We knew it was a bit cheeky, but it gave us a deadline to get out a playable version. In the end it was the only version we ever released.
The judges decided it was a bit cheeky too, and discounted the entry but that didn’t stop one judge from admitting it was by far the most played entry - discounted or otherwise!
It was done with my C++/DirectX game engine, which I’ll write more about in time.
