NeonRider preview
Feb 13th
Hey everyone! Its been a little while since I posted, but dont worry, I am still making games. In fact, I am working harder than I ever worked
My new job at armorgames is fun and I really enjoy it. I already made a game, and I am about to finish my next game: NeonRider (title subject to change). Here is a little preview:
This game is inspired by a mix of lineRider and Tron. I think it will be really cool! We might even release a map editor with the game so you guys can share and create levels as you please. The game will be out in about a week I think, but it could take a little longuer to implement the map editor for the public.
New game!
Jan 27th
Here is my first game as a ArmorGames team member! I hope you guys will enjoy it.
Play Space Attack
CatchMe!

Here is the latest thing I worked on at Odd1 before starting to work for armorgames.
Its a pac-man like game, but with a nice twist! You play as a thief and you avoid guards. When you get caught, you become a guard and you have to catch the thief.
There are some nice features, like a worldwide gold chest that will unlock new features when full.
The game is only 1.99$, but you can also try the free trial version and collect some gold.
I did the game design and a co-worker completed it with style (good job by the way).
Thanks

Hey everyone! The game was out a couple of days ago, and I must say, its a success
Already 400,000 plays on maxgames. Thanks for all the fans who supported me and played the game. I know some wanted more since I took some time to release it, but thats all I got for age of war 2. Here are some facts about the game:
- Total work time (not taking pauses in account): 6 months
- number of times I restarted: 3 (two attemps in AS2, then the final game in AS3)
- Biggest challenge: The game would not fit in a single .fla since the art is huge! It was not even compiling when in AS2!
- Artists hired to work on the art : 5 ( including me )
- Time spent on the final version: 3 months
- Number of energy drinks in the process: over 500
- Started since : Summer 2008
So yeah, the game took a year and a half to come out, but I didn’t work on it all that time. Why? I have a real life too haha.
I hope you guys will love my next games as you loved age of war 2
Thanks again for the support!
Random fact: we are now over 2000 comments!
Release time
Jan 8th
Hey, this is just a little message to all the crazy 13 years old kids: it’s a FREE FLASH GAME.
Now, for everyone wondering why the game is not up yet:
- The countdown was programmed strangely, so it won’t take into consideration the timezone. I think it will be out in 4 hours. If not, don’t go crazy. The timezone of the countdown is around GMT – 7 I think.
- There was some trouble with the code of the game, but I think its all fixed now ( the domain lock more precisely)
Seriously, you all have to stop freaking out. No one here pre-ordered the game, or even paid anything to get it. I understand it was delayed a lot, but guess what? Shit happens! Actually, the only ones who paid for this game are me, and the maxgames dude. Remain calm, and everyone will be able to enjoy the game soon.
Have a great day
New job!
Dec 30th
Since I started working at odd1, I learned a lot of stuff and met a lot of great people! The guys over there are really incredible and helped me being a better professional person and a great programmer. Unfortunatly, the job over there is more of a production type. They have a lot of staff so they only do big projects. That means that I can’t keep my name in every game and I lose the focus with the fans, the real reason why I like to make games.
A month ago, I started looking for a new job. A job where I can make my own games and keep contact with the fans. I found it.
Starting January 4th, ill be working full time for ArmorGames. I am sure many of you already know them, since they started the sponsorship market (as far as I can remember..) and they are now a really great company. ArmorGames is located in California and its hard to get a working visa for the united states. So ill work from canada, from the odd1 office. Ill keep touch with my friends over there and do my dream job. How amazing!
At armorgames, ill be making my own games and keep my name on each of them.
Sooo, you guys can expect new games to come out more often (every month or so). Isn’t that great?
About the publishing date
Dec 29th
Hey guys. I hope you all had a good time with your family or friends.
I noticed some of you are really looking forward to the game and are asking why its not out yet since its done. MaxGames have the game, but they will wait a little because the internet is kinda dead in the holydays and they want a big release. Its totally understandable and it will help to find and fix the last little bugs in the game. Its for the better. They said me they would put up a countdown soon on the website.
Sorry for the delay, its out of my control.
The game is done
Dec 24th
The game is done, it has been sent to maxgames and if everything goes well it will be uploaded in a couple of days!
