HAPPY EASTER rom PuttyCAD Games

Hi there games fans!

Here's a cute little printable mini Easter egg box you can make with your kids! Based on the Dinki Eggs game which is available in the Google Play store.

Print out the box at 100% and it will be big enough for a standard Crème Egg or some mini eggs.

Have a fantastic Easter and try not to eat all the chocolate in the world! Save some for me!

Cheers! ;) Ric

Our games on show.

It's been a busy couple of weeks. First up we took Zombie Piranha to the Retro Events Games Expo at Leeds United, Elland Road.

We were positioned next to the VR competition area and the queue was right behind our stall. This gave us a great opportunity to let everyone play our games on our tablets while they were waiting.
Zombie Piranha went down really well as usual and a few people played Clone Zoo too and took details so they could download it from Google Play.

Last night it was the GaMaYo party. (Games Makers Yorkshire) a chance to catch up with fellow game makers for a drink and networking.

I showed off the games to the people from Amazon who were sponsoring the event. They really seemed to like Zombie Piranha and Clone Zoo. We didn't win the competition they were running but it's nice to meet people behind the App stores to get a little feedback.

Zombie Piranha featured on the Expo site

We're excited to announce we will officially be exhibiting Zombie Piranha at the PLAY Expo Leeds!

Please come along to show us your support and try out the game!

Updated Zombie Piranha Poster

A quick update for 2017

Things are moving forward with more book and illustration projects coming together for 2017. I've also been working with Rich who has made great progress with bringing together a new more arcadey version of Zombie Piranha. I will post more updates and progress pics on the Putty CAD Games page here. We're aiming to have a fully playable version for the Leeds Games Expo in April.

I'm proud to once again be a judge and ambassador for Children's Reading Festivals UK. http://www.childrensreadingfestivals.com/ please check out the website for more details and if you have children make sure they check out the Poems and Pictures Poetry initiative created by Christina Gabbitas which is now in it's fifth year! Make sure you tell their teachers too, as the best poems will appear in the next volume of Children's Poems. The topics this year are Seasons and Climate Change.

Appy Times are here again!

A while ago myself and Rich Hanson released a series of fun mobile games under the name "Appy Times" we are now updating and re-releasing them as Putty CAD exclusive games. Initial releases will include variations of the popular match 3 game "Clone Zoo"

Under Appy Times we achieved over 50,000 downloads of the most popular games so we are hoping to supercede this with the inclusion of new achievements and social boasting built in.

We uploaded Clone Zoo last year to keep things ticking over and it should go live today with the new features and new branding. Here's the current version...

Putty CAD games

I have set up a new Putty CAD google play account where we will be re-submitting the best of the Appy Times games along with some totally new ones!

The first two games announced this week are:

Panda Cars - An retro styled endurance racing game.

and Dinki Eggs - A match 3 puzzle game based on the "Dinki" comics by Ric

They will hopefully be submitted for general release on Google Play towards the end of the week and will be shown at the upcoming GA_MA_YO event in Leeds on Thursday.

SUPER TEN TON NINJA! Out now!

Super Ten Ton Ninja is out now! I provided all the splash screens and map for this one! Free Trial at http://www.addictive247.co.uk/supertenton.htm 
‪#‎gamedev‬ ‪#‎indiedev‬ It's a fun and addictive game (I'm not biased - I already liked it before I was hired to do the screens!) reminds me of the swinging character in the old Amiga game "Fury of the Furries" check it out!

Jerk Chickin - my first Windows 8.1 game

As my daughter will be learning Scratch at school I decided to come up with a simple game idea to use a touch screen which we could try and re-create in scratch.

 A discussion on Ga_Ma_Yo (Game Makers Yorkshire) mentioned Jerk Chicken (whatever that is) and an idea formed in my head.

Jerk Chickin - the game was born.

Basically a single player game where you drag the 'chickin' around the screen using your finger!

I won't give too much away yet but it features Jerk Chickin, Piggies and Mad Choppa the butcher!

Follow my blog and stay tuned for more progress! You'll find all my updates on Twitter too - http://www.twitter.com/cartoonsbyRic

Enjoy!
