Custom Level for the game VVVVVV

Platform: PC

VVVVVV is a really great indie game by Terry Cavanagh.

VVVVVV is a 2-D platformer (my favourite genre) with a gravity-swapping mechanic to help you get around (in lieu of a simple 'jump'). It also has a really excellent soundtrack!

Recently, Terry released v2.0 which included a level editor to let players create their own levels (you can check out the title of my blog to see how I feel about that).

JJJJJJ is my first attempt at creating a level. It is a focused (small) level with a few challenging parts. I was mainly attempting to use some of the game's familiar mechainics in unique ways.

User levels are saved in Documents/My Documents in a folder called "VVVVVV". You will see other *.vvvvvv files in there.

Those who have VVVVVV, please download it and give it a try, and leave comments on my blog. Everyone else, support an indie developer and get VVVVVV!

Lolo Revival Project 3-D

3D remake of classic NES game

Platform: PC

In 2007, after graduating from college, I began work on a side-project. It was to be a 3D update of a classic NES game: Adventures of Lolo.

I created and textured (the simple) 3D models and even created a tile-based level editing program in C# that would export and read .lvl files.

In addition to simply recreating the game elements verbatim, I worked on including some original concpets into the game's design.

Below are some screenshots from the original NES game, as well as some screens from my early prototype version.

Super Mario World

Custom Levels

I love platformers, they're my favorite genre of game. And I love Super Mario World.

A few years ago, I created a ROM hack that updated every level in the game. Below are my three favorite levels that I created. Not intended to be a super-challenging "hell hack", these levels were thoughtfully designed.
