8bitrocket.com IDKWID.com Mochi Game Review blowout!

 

Today we cover our new favroite Flash Game developer, idkwid.com. I believe idkwid stands for "I Don't Know What I'm doing".   We cover these gems:

Just in case you are wondering, no we are *not* kidding.  These games may not have amazing graphics, but their humor, game design, humor, cleverness, humor, etc. make them exceptional to us.

Retro Game Insipration Podcast #1 : Atari 7800 Food Fight

Retro Game Insipration Podcast #1 : Atari 7800 Food Fight

I am planning to make a new "re-skinnable" game engine based on the Atari 7800 (and arcade) game by Atari.GCC called Food Fight.

I will be looking for a Pixel Artist to help re-skin it and put it up for license, so let me know if you are interested (that means you, Ace, Ari, Mark, or anyone else with some skillz and some free time).

The next Podcast on this will show a demo of the engine.

Here are some links for futher reading:

GCC Photo Archive (some really cool stuff here)

Atari Museum's 7800 Section (very extensive,)

Food Fight 7800 Prototype (AtariProtos.com)

Atari Age Food Fight Cart Page

Notes and what not:
Steve is out of town and he normally takes care of the pod cast production/post
production. So, three different experiments are all attached to this episode.

1. I did it alone, which proves to be awkward and stiff to say the least.

2. I recruited my poor son to help me out. He is only 4 and by the 4th take
he got really bored and wanted to do something else. Poor little trooper.

3. The transfer from iMovie (for video capture) to Sony Vegas (for post
production), export to Mpeg2 and back to MOV file proved to be an all day, codec
nightmare. Nothing likes to talk to anything else. Next time it will be iMovie
to Vegas for production to wmv file and then to Youtube.  We use Vegas
because it has the absolute best feature set of all the tools we own. The only
problem is that the version I own is a few years old and only works with
Quicktime 6.

Anyway, I apologize for butchering games and names and everything else
in-between, but I tried my best anyway. I did dig through my personally created
song collection and choose a new one for the intro. I also screen-captured six
games from the Essential Flash Games book for it too.

Capturing in-game sound is still a problem with CamStudio. It might be
because BootCamp and Windows 7 don't play as well together as I thought. Next
time I will try it with XP in Parallels.

I say 4 FGL and 3 Mochi games in the intro, but I actually have time for 4
Mochi games because my reviews are so lame and short.

8bitrocket Mochi Game Review Pocast: 11/06/09 We review about 8 games, and Steve touches his hair far too often, as we both never look into the camera because we are looking at a laptop to see the goods. Still, the new gameplay overlay screens are pretty cool.
