Signs of Life at "IndieGameDev"

Finding gane development information and articles has always been a

tricky thing, but after having done some legwork, I’m pretty sure I can

feed Tucows’ IndieGameDev blog more regularly. There are already two entries for this week…

Yesterday’s entry covers Transcend,

a 2D shoot-em-up with abstract visual,

musical and gameplay elements for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. You can

either just play it or you can check out the source code (it’s licensed

under the GPL). Here’s a

Today’s entry covers Neverball,

a “tilt the landscape to guide the marble to the goal before the clock

runs out” type of game. It’s available for Windows, Mac OS X and a

handful of Unixen. As with Transcend, it’s licensed under the GPL —

you can either just play it, or you can also see what’s “under the

hood”. Here ‘s a screen shot:
