8-Bit Funding – Kick Start Your Game Project!

I just caught wind from Geoff Gibson (writer over at DIYGamer and founder of 8-Bit Marketing and PR) that he is planning to start a Kickstarter-style website for the sole purpose of helping raise funds for independent game development projects.

This is especially great news for international developers, because unlike Kickstarter, 8-Bit Funding is open to indies around the globe - news met with much rejoicing down here in Aussieland!

Early screens showing what 8-Bit Funding may look like. Woo!

Tune into the development blog to keep across all the latest news; 8-Bit Funding is slated for a January launch date - stay tuned!

Perfect Future Under Attack: Broken Arms

Resident Flash guru Damien (of Bloxorz and Missile Game 3D) has just put up a
new  game fully of "crazy, hastily-made UFO mayhem" - Perfect Future Under Attack: Broken Arms! Put together as part of a 24-hour game jam at Swinburne University, Melbourne, Damo was handed two random game themes ('perfect future under attack' and 'broken arms', if you didn't guess) and thrashed all the gameplay, code and physics for this baby out in one sitting.

See if you can dethrone Murphy (current leader and Pub Games LD) - and check out the awesome replay functionality! Play it here.
