Sunday Jazz - I need drugs for that game


Jazzpunk from Necrophone Games. Hint : Get some fresh drugs from your favourite dealer and deep dive into a game that has perfected the trash anti-style concept.

You play somehow an agent that steals from e.g. Russians in a cold war setting. The graphics are amazingly simple yet stylish, it's like a bubble gum has melted with a crippled dragon and eat New York, then reduced the whole thing from 3 billion terabyte to 400 mb.





I only played the first mission, cause well I am not using any drugs, but the next time I am drunk I will certainly play this game again, hoping it gets darker while progressing !

Uhhhh Uhhhhhhh UHHHHH UHHHH -A Reckless Disregard for Game Names

I am afraid the pool of good names for computer games is getting smaller every time an indie company opens up, so yeah, mostly every ten seconds.

But what you know, theres always someone who is using this to his advantage : "AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity" from Dejobaan Games, LLC.

I stumpled on it cause it is one of the first games I know of made with the new not yet available to the public Unity3D Version 5 !

The welcome screen and the music and the slogan "We make computer games since several hundred years" is promising, so let me have a look.

[ AFTER FIRST RUN ]

I like the design. The game itself. Well it has more the appeal of a graphic demo form a programmer student in 2005 to me.

You fall down somewhere and have to keep close to objects. I didnt play much longer because hmm I dont know it is kinda...stupid ? Like really stupid ?

What I am trying to say is, I like stupid, but I need something to justify the stupidiy. A story. One NEW idea. One thing that keeps me going. Just to fall down and hug and kiss some meshes, I do not know dear Dejobaan Games.

The design is well done, some good ideas, awesome music.

But thats about it. NEEEEXT !

Pseudo Old School Sell Out on Humble Bundelö [ AKA MODERN RETRO...how lame wtf ]

Our beloved software industry destroying Humble Bundle has spit out a bundle of six "nostalgic" oldschool designed indie titles. Perfect. I am so frustrated by Wargame European Escalation and I can not concentrate on BF4 or the never ending infinite BioShock (I really know now why it is called BioShock Infinite). So. Let me have a look.

Steam for the Indie Game Makers

Just found Desura, its like Steam but for Indie Games only.

It was made by the ppl who made IndieDB and ModDB, thus I trusted them and installed even
their windows client.

So far it makes a very good impression. Neat and small, only 30MB and its design flaweless.

Well I have my doubts about giving them my cc data, but with paypal i think its managable.

I found Desura via my favorite Indie Game, Running with Rifles.

You can use it via Facebook and all OpenAuth providers, what is actually very neat, too.

(is it openauth ? damn. yes its OAuth. I looked it up. What was I thinking of...hmm....)

I keep you updated.
