January QuadraJam

Sat, 01/14/2012 - 14:50 | zenasprime

Happy New Year! Well this weekend Keith and I (Zenas) are working on a simple platformer that he is calling Debugger. From what I gather, Debugger will get buggier as you lose health, at least that's the way Keith pitched it to me. ;) You check out our stream at justin.tv/quadratron. You can also tune into our individual channels at justin.tv/utman1988 and justin.tv/zenasprime respectfully. As soon as we have a working prototype I'm sure we will have it set up in a web player for folks to try out.

QuadraJam December

Sat, 12/03/2011 - 13:35 | zenasprime

Hey folks, this month, being a busy month with the holidays and all, we decided to work together only via a host of internet technologies. We are virtually meeting via Skype. At the same time we are all streaming our desktops via Justin.tv. The main Justin.tv channel for QuadraTron can be found at http://justin.tv/quadratron, but we also are running our individual channels as well, which you can find at the following links: for Christian's channel, http://justin.tv/lightfromshadows, Zenas' channel at http://justin.tv/zenasprime, and Keith's channel at http://justin.tv/utman1988.

Unlike for previous development weekends were we would all collectively work on one project, this month we are working on individual game projects in parallel. This is giving us a chance to express ourselves individually while at the same time maintain the support of the group as a whole. You can find a playable version of the game I (zenas) am working on, called Monsters!, here on the QuadraTron website. Feel free to contact us via our IRC channel at irc.freenode.net #quadratron, or via the justin.tv IRC chat channel that is available through their chat web app.

QuadraJam October

Sat, 10/08/2011 - 02:48 | zenasprime

We have gotten together this weekend for our third QuadraJam. This month we are working on a Halloween themed game. Our current tag line for the game is "Don't get between a kid and his candy!" A ghost costume clad kid fights his way through Halloween monsters, armed with a shotgun and pumpkin bombs, to get to his objective, a bag of sweat treats. Feel free to follow us on Twitter @QuadraTronGames or our live stream at Justin.tv (http://www.justin.tv/quadratron#/w/1875131552/2). You can also chat with us via IRC either through the Justin.tv chat interface or our own IRC channel at irc.freenode.net #QuadraTron.

Meteors - A Game Inspired by the Arcade Classic Asteroids

Wed, 09/14/2011 - 18:10 | zenasprime

Hey folks! I've been hard at work making a fun game inspired by Asteroids which I'm calling Meteors (Yeah, yeah I know it's not terribly original!). You can play the latest build using the Unity Web Player here. I've also set up a page where you can download the stand alone versions for both the Mac and Windows operating systems (although these may not be updated as regularly with the latest build). You can also check out the game's page by clicking here or navigating the "Games" menu item above. *Edit - Meteors is also now available on Kongregate. Constructive criticism and general feedback are most definitely welcome via our contact form.

Meteors is currently a game in development and as such there are a bunch of game play elements that are still to be decided on. Some of the things I may want to add in the near future are boss encounters and possibly puzzle challenges of some sort. We'll see where we get with it over the coming weeks. Ultimately I would like to keep the design simplicity of the original Asteroids but also add in my own touches. It won't be groundbreaking but it should be fun. ;)

Enjoy!

Hello World

Thu, 06/23/2011 - 13:36 | zenasprime

Hey folks, Christian Plummer, Keith Maggio, and myself (Zenas Bellace), have been having so much fun working together at the Global and Philly Game Jams (see our PGJ 11 video game entry MOTHERship) that we have decided to formally continue our collaboration as QuadraTron Games. After putting our heads together for several hours we have decided to started working on a new game and have begun focusing on a prototype game called BattleSpace 3065. There isn't much to show just yet, but we are really excited about the possibilities of the design we have started implementing.
