			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ah, I did it again! I forgot to update. Eep!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve made over the past few months. If you&#8217;re paying attention to twitter, you probably already played them all. But if you missed anything, well, here it is!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://bentosmile.com/images/screen_quest.png" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p>
<p>First up is <a href="http://bentosmile.com/mini-games/quest/">Quest</a>, a small jam game made super quickly. I mostly wanted to play around with low res faux-Spectrum look (it&#8217;s not accurate to it, as I was just having fun).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://bentosmile.com/images/screen_startfightrun.png" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p>
<p>Next, my entry for Ludum Dare 20, <a href="http://bentosmile.com/mini-games/start-fight-run/">&gt;Start &gt;Fight &gt;Run.</a> I didn&#8217;t get to polish it as much as I would have liked, as I didn&#8217;t have enough focus this time. Oh well. :)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://bentosmile.com/images/screen_savethem.png" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p>
<p>Also, I made a silly but slightly offensive game about the Rapture. <a href="http://bentosmile.com/mini-games/save-them-all/">Save Them All! (Except Those Guys, They Don&#8217;t Deserve It)</a></p>
<p>Finally, I started learing AS3. I haven&#8217;t got very far yet, but I did make a port of one of my old jam games, <a href="http://www.kongregate.com/games/bento_smile/trap">Trap</a>. (The original was made in less than an hour, so it&#8217;s a little throw-away. But as a test of getting stuff on a screen and working, it did its job. :3 ) Hope to have something more impressive soon-ish :D</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I made a bunch of games, but I&#8217;m only just getting around to posting them. (They&#8217;re all pretty small&#8230;)</p>

<p>First, a visual novel thing. I&#8217;m not too happy with this, but mostly because I got frustrated with it halfway through. Still, it has some interesting bits I suppose.</p>
<p><a href="http://bentosmile.com/mini-games/stuck/"><img src="http://bentosmile.com/images/screen_stuck.png" alt="" align= center width= 320 height= 240/></a></p>
<p>Ludum Dare was a couple of weeks ago! I made this. Then&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://bentosmile.com/mini-games/needles/"><img src="http://bentosmile.com/images/screen_needles.png" alt="" align= center width= 320 height= 240/></a></p>
<p>&#8230;I made this in the last couple of hours of the competition.</p>
<p>Ludum Dare was fun. I met up with <a href="http://distractionware.com/blog/">Terry</a>, <a href="http://www.lockeddoorpuzzle.com/site/">Perrin</a>, and a bunch of other guys in CB2 to all work on LD together (but alone, as those are the rules!) It was nice to work in a more social setting, as LD tends to be a lonely lonely experience. XD</p>
<p>Although, this kind of emphasised for me exactly how much I don&#8217;t care for the scoring afterwards. I think it took away the fun somewhat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I entered Ludum Dare!</p>

<p>The theme was caverns. I made a tiny platformer called Miner Distraction. It looks like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.bentosmile.com/blog/minerdistraction.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p>
<p>The download for it is <a href="http://www.bentosmile.com/games/minerdistraction/miner_distraction.exe">here.</a> (Windows only, 6mb, was made in Construct so you need you DirectX up to date). Or! There is a quickplay version on Game Jolt <a href="http://gamejolt.com/games/quick-play/690/">here.</a></p>
<p>For those who do not know about Ludum Dare, it&#8217;s a contest in which you have to make a game from scratch in 48 hours. As such, there&#8217;s only so much you can do! This game could likely do with a couple of more days of development, as I would have liked to implement dialogue and some sound. But I was trying out Construct for the first time, and fumbled with it a bit, which ate up a bit of time. It was fun to make though, and interesting to design a level quickly and quite organically in Photoshop rather than a tile editor. ^o^ Mostly, I&#8217;m happy with the amount I got done in such a short amount of time, even though it&#8217;s not perfect. I might clean it up a bit later, but for now, it&#8217;s fine.</p>
