Fun Toboggan - Play free and cool games!

Hey, I'm going to enter the Java4K contest this year. This is going to be my first participation. If you don't already know the contest I suggest you to consult and play a a lot of very cool games at java4k.com. It's truly amazing what can be done in a game with only 4kb (4096 bytes) of size! Believe me, I browsed all the games for this year and past years and I was simply stunned by the quality, playability and fun factor of a lot of them. But, yes there's a but, don't expect full fledg...

Hi,

this is just a quick update on what's going on with Incredibuilder. I'm completing the development of the next version. It's a been a long time since the last one but the next version is coming soon. The swap tool and free tool were put on hold because they cause significant gameplay design issues. I might reconsider them later though if I find good solution to fix the issues.

Also, expect new levels and a redesigned double knife tool for a much better ...

Hi all,

the last weeks or last month have been really busy for me. My day job prevented me to progress on my game. Before this I had developed a new tool called the swap tool. It allowed to swap 2 blocks and was supposed to be used with hammer to remove used blocks. Well, this tool may seems fun but the design of levels for it is more difficult than planned. And the fact of switching tools with space bar doesn't fit very well the hand position in my opinion.

Hi All,

I'm playing the latest Mario & Luigi game. I wanted to take the time to write about this wonderful game. I played the 2 previous ones and enjoyed them a lot, a bit less concerning the second, but the last is completely amazing! It's the story of Mario and Luigi that have been aspirated by Bowser in his body. Once inside him, Mario and Luigi visit his body parts fighthing various enemies trying to find the exit for the sake of saving the Toad kingdom, among o...

Hello,

I'm happy to announce that my web site now has the domain name www.funtoboggan.com.

Nintendo announced a new revision of the DSi which will offer bigger screens of 4.2'' with a better viewing angle. Apparently this new revision will target the older demographic, which according to Nintendo has a weaker sight. While this may be a valid reason, Nintendo is again giving lower priority to hard core gamers. They released the DSi and now a new DSi revision but all in all the DSi provides gadget features like the cameras and the sound tools. Yes DSiWare is a very good idea but take...

Nintendo announces a remake of exite bike on Wii Ware! That's really cool!  I can't wait to play it. And as an added bonus online play will be supported.

Exite Bike is one of the great games I remember when I played it with friends when I was young. I downloaded it on the VC last winter and it was still as fun as I can remember. And there is this amusing aspect that others laugh at you when your motorcycle crash forever. Also we can see that this very o...

So I decided to start blogging regularly on various games and technical subjects. Why did I decide to do that? What are the benefits? Recently I asked this question on javagaming.org: "Should I start blogging about game dev?" One game developer, Orangy Tang, gave me a link on an article by Stevey Drunken about blogging and why. This nailed it and from this point I was totally convinced to start blogging. Here is the link by the way:
