The free prototype for my latest game is out now! (PC only at the moment)
https://tobop.itch.io/ned-kelly-armoured-outlaw-prototype-v01

(All of the links below go to youtube videos about the events. Some say he was a villain, other say he was a hero.) 
There are quite a lot of updates to come, but basically it's based on the true story of Ned Kelly, in Australia in the 1880s - mainly the last stand in Glenrowan (which is actually where the game begins - the game will be alternate history based). More information about the events, here.  

(Image not used in the game.) 

I've known about this historical event for ages but I never really understood the details until about a year ago when I went full into the details, and looked up all sorts of information about what happened and why - and into all sorts of random bits of information. One which I do not know yet, is - was Ned wearing gloves? Some depictions (such as the one above) indicates yes, while others indicate no. 

The prototype is only 1 level. There are certainly more to come. Many updates, and functions to implement. 

Please enjoy, or laugh me off the internet. If you really enjoyed it, please consider pre-paying - as it will help me out a lot.

For me, I wanted to try making games for a living with various teams. Over time, lives changed and some people went their separate ways. My life changed too and time for game dev has gone from full time to casual. So basically it is a hobby, but also to earn money so that maybe I can go back into full time again, hire more teams, etc. 

Not at the moment unfortunately. But I'll add one when I can. 

Hey thank! As you may have noticed, I haven't streamed recently. Mainly because the lag is just horrible. Makes your eyes bleed. But, I will try again later on this year when the NBN is installed. It should be much better, and I will re-try out the stream service 'Mixer':

The recent Twitch glitch killed all of my videos except for 3. I do have back-ups of them but, kinda frustrating. 

....And after all of your efforts in creating a game, you then have to advertise, and contact various people without coming across as a spamlord. All the while receiving spam email, after spam email of hack fraudsters asking for free keys, sometimes in the hundreds of thousand batches. And even the ones you trust after a bit of research could still be fake. 
It can get a little stressful. Development involves a great deal of juggling. I am but 1 person. 

Hooah! Semper Fi! 

Hey there,
I'm starting to play & stream games from itch, on twitch :D
https://www.twitch.tv/tobop/

So far I've played / tested:
Mud Slinger (Full screen issue / glitch - will try again later / fix later)
Project Hedra (Full screen capture issue - will try again later)
Minimalist Freeman (Awesome fun!)
Tail Gunner (Awesome fun too!) 
&
two of my own titles.

As well as a few non-indie titles (two non-itch games):
OpenRA (modded version of Red Alert, so almost indie, great fun!)
Vietcong 1 (Classic old game!)

I'm going to do lots more later on. I'm open for requests, etc. At the moment I prefer games which can run in windowed mode because sometimes the capture wont detect full-screen games, in XSplit anyway. I have to get onto updating the video details & links at some point. 

Thanks in advance! Keep up the good work!

This is nice! I streamed it :D
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/211546089

That's a nice idea. I'll upload a demo when the new version comes out.

Hey, thanks for the interest!
Currently, we're fixing the vert jump & grinding functions, plus implementing basic multiplayer. There's a ton to implement and update :D all in good time. 

This thing will be on Steam soon for $1. I know I am going to receive a fair bit of dislikes.

Ultimately, the sales from this game help fund new ones.  And when a new game is released, I think I'll make Zombie Quarantine free.

I'd love to start live streaming. Anyone else here in Australia? The lag factor somewhat ruins live streaming. Even with a 'good' connection, for some reason it lags. And people can't stand lag. Then again, maybe it's my end. Or the tools I'm using.

All of that being said... A new satellite was launched (Sky Muster), which - they say - will give Australians 25mbs internet speed. We'll see. But that would be sweeeet.

I'm willing to help out, but only part-time at the moment. I have some free examples on my page / name link.

Excellent advice!
Also keep in mind that soemthing can 'blow-up' with out even trying. Rare case, I know.. But jsut saying - don't give up!

I like this style too very much, but you'll encounter a slew of people demanding changes.
Maybe have that art style as a graphics option - if possible.

I need to be more proactive. Been busy / lazy.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but is this true? If not, ignore this.

It basically says, there's a bottle-kneck @ steam because of - basically - vote fraud, & I have proof of this.
But it's not worth ranting about the developers. They saw a loophole, and exploited it.

Before I say anything else, I'd like to say that itch.io is better than steam, imo. Crazy hu? Well, no.

So steam is going to apparently change the rules, and just have it so that it will cost money to upload a new game. But that can range from $100 - $5000?! Seems a bit daft. Not every dev team is the same.

I plan on making something in the future, but damn... It's going to be a while. However mine will probably be an RTS.

Hey! Yeh for sure, the more the better. Email or PM through itch is fine. I check up on this reguarly.

Hi BBP Games,

Sounds awesome! I've tried it myself somewhat. The internet speed here isn't' fantastic but I might try again.
Send me links when you're ready, I'll show up :)

Thanks for the responses so far.

I'll get around to sending links etc - but mainly the game I wanted reviewed was Zombie Quarantine.
https://tobop.itch.io/zombie-quarantine

It's a nasty little game. Hehe - very difficult. But imo it's still fun. Here's some level walkthroughs / spoilers if you get stuck.

Hey everyone!

Who here makes let's play vids? I've tried various people, and they're all busy or not interested at the moment.

I am willing to pay -say $10 for a review above 5 min (negotiable) - doesn't matter how mean, or crass you are about the review.

Let me know if you're up for it :)

Hey all!

I've released this :D (asset, not a game)

https://tobop.itch.io/red-dwarf-characters

Obviously, I've binged on the TV recently & went a bit mad. I've been trying to contact the person developing the inner halls of the ships;

https://reddwarfgame.wordpress.com/category/floorp...

But no response yet, and there's plenty of others... So I just thought - may as well make these accessible. The characters are a bit rough, but they can be used to test things or what-not.
I also have a few ship meshes, but they're available elsewhere.
Red Dwarf is just one of those things where any story is possible. A bit silly at times, but not extremely violent. It's more of a comedy.

I apologize of this is in the wrong thread.

Hey guys! Ready for a really hard puzzle game?
Level 5 is hell, but passable. This was made a while ago, but I didn't post anything about it.

Game link here ($1.00)

The game is a mixture of 2 main types of game. Plus zombies!

• Pipe dreams
• Generic tower defence (minus the building aspect)

Hey all!
This is my 1st post. I can't believe I haven't posted in the forum yet. I've been too darn busy.

Here's some of my characters in development, etc.

I can't go into the games currently in development just yet, because - you know - even I don't know what to expect once these things get programmed. I really need to learn programming one day!! :D (I know a tiny bit, not much.)











Here's some other ones, you might guess what they are... :D

(I didn't make the Cylon - just rigged it)

Any feed back is much appreciated, & thanks for viewing!
