I was a presenter at the Tokyo Game Show

Posted by raitendo Oct. 31, 2009 @ 6:50 PM EDT

Yeah, it's true. I was one of ten people to present their games (mine was You Only Live Once) at the Sense of Wonder Night, an event sponsored by Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft(!) held at the Tokyo Game Show this year. Super big thanks to Kongregate and the really cool people who helped pay for my trip. I was nervous as hell but the presentation went down pretty well. If you don't believe me, there's even an official Youtube video of the presentation online. I'm embarrased about my Swedish accent but what the hell, at least I look good, so I'll post it.

.

I was stoked to see that Behemoth had a booth at the show and had a short chat with Dan Paladin but he had no idea who I was so I felt a bit like just another stupid fan, instead of "I love your stuff too, man!" (Tom would have recognized me, I'm sure!)

Also, I'm on twitter now. If you want to get the latest updates on my games, do follow me :) I'll probably have a really small parody game up by monday for a Japanese 48hr flash game comp.

Vote for Doeo! E4 awards

Posted by raitendo Sep. 3, 2009 @ 2:53 PM EDT

Vote for Doeo at the E4 game of the year awards!

Also, if you missed my last news post, have a look at that too! I've been selected to showcase You Only Live Once at the TOKYO GAME SHOW in front of 500 people or so in 2 weeks time (we're talking about an actual presentation in front of media and real game developers, not a booth).

Kongregate have very generously offered to sponsor a large part of the cost of the trip to Tokyo but I'm still quite a bit short... as I mentioned in my last post, I'd very much appreciate any paypal donations to marcusrichert@yahoo.se

If you do donate some money, no matter what measly amount, I'll list you in the credits of my next game.

My game to be showcased at the Tokyo Game Show!

Posted by raitendo Aug. 26, 2009 @ 5:41 AM EDT

My game You Only Live Once has been selected as one of 10 indie titles to be presented at the Sense of Wonder Night at the Tokyo Game Show in late September. What was that? You're wondering which famous game developer was in the screening committee? Oh, you mean Keita Takahashi, the guy behind Katamari Damacy? Yes, he's in the screening committee and he will be there during the presentation.

TOKYO GAME SHOW - SENSE OF WONDER NIGHT

..............HOLY F****!

Take that, naysayers and non-believers! And a big thanks to everybody who commented on the game and gave me valuable feedback!

...unfortunately, through some very untimely seasonal fluctuation, the airline ticket is extremely expensive, and as it is now, I can't actually afford to go..! I'm hoping I'll be able to come through somehow but in the meanwhile, I thought it wouldn't hurt to do a little begging. If you want to help a fellow newgrounder to go to the TGS to talk about his stupid little flash game, feel free to donate me any measly amount of money through paypal - mine is marcusrichert@yahoo.se . As a thanks, I'll put all donators in the ending credits of my next game!

And yeah, well, on that note, I've uploaded a screenshot from my latest project, a shmup with the working title "Turnip vs Face Ship Empire".

Execution

Posted by raitendo Aug. 8, 2009 @ 3:58 PM EDT

I made a short "follow-up" (not a sequel) to You Only Live Once.

Play it here on Newgrounds

Basically... you need to have played "You Only Live Once" first. Secondly, the game will make more sense if you have played Jesse Venbrux' Execution.

This is not bitingly smart or anything, it's just a little tribute.

You Only Live Once, my new game!

Posted by raitendo Aug. 2, 2009 @ 4:31 PM EDT

I've uploaded my latest game You Only Live Once to the portal. Can't wait to hear what newgrounders will make out of it (since 97% of the commenters at Kongregate are complete morons).

Go rate it! Write a review! Tell me what you think.

(personally, I think Free Will turned out loads better, but I'm not sure others will agree)

Free Will

Posted by raitendo Jul. 5, 2009 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Did you enjoy Free Will?

Please consider digging it.

Hi, I'm looking for volunteers to translate my latest game. It's a platformer.

I already have translations in Danish, Swedish, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Portugese, Russian taken. I'm especially looking for Italian and Turkish, but I'm interested in more.

All in all it's about 35 lines, and I'm looking for somebody with a firm understanding of English, as well as the language they're translating into (preferably native speakers). You should hopefully be able to translate the humor as well as the meaning of the lines.

You'll get in-game credits and exclusive bragging rights.

Oh, and about the April Fools thing - it's fun, because it's racist.

Defecate Upon King Bhumibol in the Herald Sun

Posted by raitendo Mar. 10, 2009 @ 6:51 AM EDT

"You Have To Defecate Upon King Bhumibol" was mentioned in The Herald Sun, Australia's highest-circulating daily newspaper.

And what a mention!

... a computer game offending the Thai king has been launched.
"Someone sent me the link (to the game), which I think is in poor taste," Forde Nicolaides said.
"This is the sort of thing that is emerging and I have said to the [Thai] embassy that the best you can do is move this along quickly before more distasteful rubbish comes out."

Forde Nicolaides is the brother of the guy who was imprisoned, but now released. It's kinda cool to think that they used my game to lobby for his release..! Wish they had mentioned the name of the game, though! Or better yet, asked me for a comment.

Sir Giant Pink Lizard Statue

Posted by raitendo Mar. 8, 2009 @ 3:50 PM EDT

WIP on a platformer game, to be released next week. If I can find a sponsor quickly enough, that is.

New game! Wheel of Misfortune

Posted by raitendo Feb. 24, 2009 @ 6:02 AM EST

WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE

I ask one simple thing of you:
Vote 5 at Kongregate (if you think that's what it's worth)

in return you get my undying, eternal love.

The game, well, I'm not really happy with it, but I think it looks very nice and shiny. I made it in 4 days, plus one day for adding multi-language support. Haggling over sponsorship took forever though (and Tom Fulp didn't respond to my e-mail! Sulk)...
