I Have Created 50 Games in 2014

Kenta Cho is someone I admire a lot. I have to admit that of the 50 browser games, I didn't actually find a lot that I really liked. However his Windows games (most if not all have been ported to X) are incredible. Each one is a gem. They aren't always polished, but the ideas in them are really, really good. Of course you have to like retro style shooters ;-)

Thanks for posting this. I keep meaning to read his blog, but I always forget :-)

50 games of 1 level and 50 levels of a single game can actually mean the same thing, effortwise.

I would disagree if you reuse graphics and game logic for the other 49 levels.

Cool, now wrap them all into a warioware style autoloader and you've got yourself a marketable game.

This rings true having grown up in the era of "50 games in 1!!!"

How hard is it to make html 5 games portable across different devices with different screens ? Do "html5" game devs mainly use game maker studios that handle the export for different devices or is it better to do that "by hand", if latter, does anyone know for a good resource on that ?

Oh, wow, I hadn't realized these were Kenta Cho's work but playing them had me explicitly thinking about his earlier works! I always really liked Gunroar [1]

His Windows game "Torus Trooper" (http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/tt_e.html) inspired one that I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr1zyE7ny5A
