Tigers Maze for Android devices




Hello there, after finishing my previous projects I have working on several other small projects with one of the being called Tiger's Maze. Tiger is actually the name of my cat. Don't believe? you can check out my Instagram and see the pictures of the adorable little feline. =^_^=

Tiger's Maze is a casual tilt game where you have to guide the ball to an exit and avoid the enemies being a group of cat's who want to spoil the fun. They will chase after the ball and push it over.
The game contains 8 levels for the time being.

Below are screenshots of the game on a high-end Android device.

Voyage Of Kepler 186f is out now for the PS Vita. Download now and share with your friends !

Voyage of Kepler is a simple first person shooter / adventure game where you play as Jonathan Parker a NASA astronaut who is sent on a mission to an exoplanet to ensure survival of the human race. As Earth is all but dried up of its resources from years of human transformation and increased Co2 emissions it has become a dying rock with its time ticking away. So your mission simple seek Earths twin, but not all is as it seems.

Voyage of Kepler 186 - A journey close to an end

Hello there!
It has been a long long time coming but after much delays 'Voyage of Kepler 186f' will be available on the PSM store to download. The game has been approved and is in preparation to be released! The game will be available in all territories US, Europe and Asia.

So your mission simple seek Earths twin, but not all is as it seems.

So why the long delay?
In the screenshot below in the status history, we can see the submissions I had sent along with the responses from the PSM QA team. Initial version 1.0 all the way up to version 1.10. Due various in game bugs that I had missed during my own testing sessions, the QA team kept rejecting the application due to various bugs from poor programming practices like invoking and creating unused objects to simply forgetting to change the config controls from PC to Vita controls..well the experts do say "never test your own software".
 
In all what did it take to get the game to be released on the Vita? Oh only about 5 resubmissions and around 11 months of work on and off from sound design to making 3D models to designing levels, scripting, integration of different components and most important of all being persistently committed towards competing the project.


But wait you may ask, "Junaid that's very nice but I don't have a PS Vita so how can I play the game?" don't just turn back yet..



Android edition


Yes Android!, I am currently also porting the game to the Android platform mainly for tablet devices as the screen size is much better with the control scheme. Below is an early look at the game running on my tablet with a virtual control scheme.



Whats the difference between the two versions?
The Vita version is the perhaps the better version due to the fact that it has physical controls like a regular controller with R1, L1 and analog sticks. On the other hand the Android version has touch controls which can get a little getting used to. However the Android version will be out much sooner perhaps in two weeks time.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, leave a comment, like or share with your friends and if you if you have a Vita check the game out !

Voyage of Kepler186f (old title of zombie survival) Final Update!


Hi, this is my final update of for my project, which I had previously titled as "Zombie Survival". I have renamed it "Voyage of Kepler186f" as it better reflects the story of the game. I had been working on this game for about 11 months and only last week did I complete and sent it for review by the Sony PSM Team.

Setting the publishing settings.


Version 1.0 rejected as I had mentioned Sony without (R) after there name.


Updated version 1.05 with issues corrected


The Kepler Space Telescope as you may or may not know is a telescope used by NASA to detect other planets (exoplanets) that bear earth like properties and features to determine existence of life outside our solar system. So far this search has returned a large number of potential earth like planets and Kepler186f happens to be one of them.


So how does this relate to the game? Well the games overall direction from just 'Zombie Hunting' has been changed to a direction where we explore such a planet and imaging of what it may behold and ofcourse still 'fight zombies' and other baddies. Initially what I had in mind was a simple first person survival game, but my vision came closer to what I really had in mind through more experience I felt it was possible to create a more improved project than a simple survival game.


Kepler is a star system 400 light years away with one light year being  about 9.4605284 × 1012 kilometers with 400 Ly being 3.78421136 × 1015 kilometers..


You play as commander John Parker who is sent on a mission to Kepler 186f as Earth is all but close to ruin with. This is the basic premise to what the player must discover ofcourse not all as it seems..



The game contains 10 levels in the single player and 5 levels in bonus survival mode. It has a interactive dialogue system to interact with NPC's and a visual novel style of story sequences.


I composed the soundtrack and you can check it out at:

The game will be available soon for the PS Vita through the PlayStation Mobile store and is currently under review.


When the game becomes available I will post an update.

If you have a PS Vita check it out, it will be on sale for around 1$


Below are some screenshots of the game.
