My results from Global Game Jam 2012.

Grab the game HERE!

The game came out with rather unpolished difficulty level but the game has the functions which were planned in the beginning. Special thanks to Ari Kuokka for making audio for several games including mine.

A new game prototype finished for 48h GetOnline Gamedev-compo! Pogomole is a deathmatch versus game with fighting moles with pogo sticks. (Note: You need 2 players to play the game properly.)

You can grab the game HERE!

If the game does not run you should grab XNA runtime 4.0 here.

Programming was made by Jani Rissanen and I made the audio and visuals for the game.

Have a nice day! - Mika

Our team's 24h Outkumpu-jam results! Definitely going to join the jamming next time around also.

Here's our "game" called Kellari.

Play the game HERE!

Unfortunately the 24hours time was too tight for horror 3d room escape game but we managed to finish a sandbox techdemoish thing. :D

Toni Räsänen did the programming, Lauri Salo created the models and I made the texturing and played with unity to make the scene.

I organized a small Jamming weekend for locals participating LudumDare again and I also made a game where I tried to make a beat'em up styled gameplay which was suprisingly difficult to capture.

Facebreak Escape is a game where prisoners are trying to escape a prison system. You have to escape the prison by fighting against hordes of security guards with your allies and reach the freedom which lies ahead.

To reach the end you have to brawl with 11 waves of enemies, collect loafs of bread to gain health and free your friends from cages hanging from the ceiling.

You can move using arrows and pressing up your character will jump, use X to punch enemies and cages.

Download here!

Here's also a playthrough of the game:

Oh hey, I forgot to put some Ludumdare games here:

Here's "It's dangerous to go alone!" for LD20 as a jam entry.

You'll be herdin' some sheep through dark valley while bad wolves are devouring all the poor sheep who are separated from the pack. You need to beat the sheep to get back to the pack and use fury power up in tough spots.

Survive your way trough the valley and you'll be successful!

Download the game here!

Use arrow keys and space to play.

Here's Failbot, I made the game during my time in China for LD19 with a Discovery theme in 48 hours. The game is somewhat metrovania like platformer with a bunch of backtracking and plenty of bugs to explore.

Download here!

Use arrow keys to play. I have to apologize, the game doesn't have any audio but i still hope you can enjoy the game.

I wanted to try to work solo for Global Game Jam this time. I did have some small issues but i managed to finish the game.

*Note, the first mystery picture which appears to the screen is a kind of like a experimental story telling comic. :) You can also read the story/instructions and other info from the Readme.

Hope you like the game! :)

Joni has done very useful experimenting with blender and now we can bring mocap data easily to our game characters.

2010-09-02T14:07:00.000-07:00

In-game asset test render from a upcoming game. The trees and the plants are still work in progress but the rocks are quite final.

Joni is modelling most of the game assets and i'm working as a director and a 2d artist for the game. Stay tuned for more progress. :)

Oh and remember to check out Joni's neat blog as well! http://vvisuals.blogspot.com/

Latest game created to facebook when you can compete with your friends to make better scores for the highscore list.

Im somewhat happy with the overall appearance all tho there could have been some minor things done differently, but it is still just a flash game so maybe i sould not take it so seriously. :D

Here try it out:

The programming was made by Teemu Patana and i made the graphics for the game.

Just thought of creating my own Game Development blog to the internet. I hope you'll find interesting posts on the blog in the future.

Main idea for the blog is developing skills as a game developer. I'll post art and prototypes for people to see and hopefully get some interesting feedback.
