Frogs

I thought I’d try making some games based on the arcade machines in Scott Campbell’s alternate King of Kong DVD cover.

“I would still very much like to see these games made in real life. I think Raking would be particularly successful.” - Scott C, Amazing Everything.

I actually made a game a day this week! Only 54 empty slots to go!

Dog walking

Not much to do in this game except make the dog look around.

Baking

Don’t burn your hands.

Bike lock

Aeropress

Inspired by Adam Lisagor’s Ritual.

Someone asked how I record my games. Here’s how:

1. Clear crap from floor. Put DS on floor propped up against a wall or furniture.
2. Put camera on floor (I use a Nikon D90 but any camera/phone that shoots video will do).
3. Frame the lower screen right in the center and get it in focus.
4. Close windows and turn off lights.
5. Hold your breath. No one wants to hear your gross breathing.
6. Press record on the camera and play your game a few times.
7. Get off the floor.
8. Pick the best playthrough of your game and cut out the stuff you don’t want (I use Quicktime Pro for this).
9. Upload to YouTube.
10. Profit!
