Mark Cooke’s G-Mixer

As I mentioned earlier this week I gave a presentation at Pecha Kucha 62 in Tokyo last night. I built 10 brand new tiny games in less than 10 hours for the event. I know at least one person was recording a video so there may be video footage soon. If not I will do a screencast of the presentation for the web.

Although the games were mostly (completely) silly they seemed to go over well with the crowd and I got some laughs. A full set of photos is available on Flickr.

Right now I don’t have the time to post all the details of all the games but will do so in the near future. For now here is the game list, in the order they were presented:

1. “Can You Say Pecha Kucha?” – iPhone – Rhythm game
2. “Shinjuku Shame” – Web (Unity) – Homeless staring FPS
3. “Game Developer Life” – Web (Flash) – Game industry wage slave simulation
4. “Scream Test” – iPhone – Screaming competition
5. “Voice Invaders” – iPhone – Voice controlled vertical shooter
6. “Surfing on Sine Waves” – Web (Flash) – Procedurally generated surfing game
7. “Architris” – Web (Unity) – Blueprint Tetris
8. “Para Para Punch” – iPhone – Hooligan punching game
9. “Blind Masseuse” – Mac – Sound based massaging simulation
10. “Basket Bomb” – Web (Unity) – Basketball terrorist physics game

I leave you for now with this photo of the crowd as I was speaking. You can see some laughs as well as some contorted faces filled with horror. :-)
