Mobile gaming has indeed become a developing enterprise with some many companies making apps & games of their popular titles. Popular indie game developers are now trying the same thing. Team Meat has announced that they are currently making Super Meat Boy: The Game, which is a touch based mobile remake of the popular downloadable title Super Meat Boy.
Team Meat is assuring fans that since this is a new field for them that they want to make this mobile game right. This title is still in the early stages of development but they are examining mobile gaming to see what the good and bad parts about it, and apply all the good stuff to their game. Being indie game developers, they are stressing that they want this to be a value to their fans, since a lot of mobile games of more popular titles can be considered a waste of time. They seem to really be taking the mobile game player seriously.
They are stressing that they want to capture a feature length title with sharp controls without any cheap ways to make the players shell out extra money to play. This is great news since the 1st Super Meat Boy was a highly acclaimed title that was compared to platfoming classics like Super Mario Bros or Ghosts’n Goblins.
They left players with a final tease of a chapter screen shot: The Green Hills
There is also reassurance that there will not only be a bite sized title, since this shot only has 8 level pads. Team Meat wants fans to know that the content of Super Meat Boy: The Game will have enough content to rival the original, but it will be it’s own different ways, and will still feature dark worlds. So while this is a vague update.
On a completely different note, while still being related to Super Meat Boy, Team Meat is now selling selling toys in their online store. These toys can be purchased separately or in a full set that includes stickers and a signed sketch. The full set includes Bandage girl, Meat Boy, and a big bloody saw.
These are all designed, produced and hand painted by another indie artist. So all proceeds from these purchases go to someone else pursing their dream.
These are both very fun bits of news from an upcoming indie developer. Toys and mobile games are things excite nerds like myself anyway.
We will keep you updated on anything else we find out about Team Meat’s newest project.

Which Is exactly why he won’t even know something about his team ahead of this season. Appropriate playa playa??
That Is precisely why he won’t even know nearly anything about his crew prior to this season. Correct playa playa??
I want to play a 2d Mario side-scrolling platformer on my Wii. I am new to 2d Mario games (I don’t need suggestions for 3d games like Galaxy), and I’m a 2d platforming novice. The two qualities I’m looking for are 1. Not too hard, and 2. Variety (not overly repetitive). I guess the options are: SMB1, SMB2, SMB3, SMW, NSMBW. Thanks for your help.
I’m on a sweet BA meat team at my school and we are having shirts made. We have to have a slogan on the shirt. Any ideas? Hopefully a cool half perverted one.
I read in the bible when God created Mcdonald’s, Allah helped inspire him to create the BigMac. Why would they do this is eating meat is bad for you?
I am wanting to learn how to program games for windows. I am not interested in programming online games, so please do not give me information on how to do so. I wish to make a 2D platforming game with simple graphics. I have a bit of experience with Java. What software should I use for graphics, what language should I use for the programming, what should I use for sounds, and what (if any) IDE should I use? I would also like to know what books or sites would help me on my way.
I want to make a shooter game using game maker 8, but i can’t find any tutorials on how to make my mouse an aimer with the arrow keys controlling the character. Meaning its a 2d platforming game where i can shoot where i aim my mouse. If someone can show me a video tutorial with this kind of idea, that would be great. Even better would be if someone could direct me to a site where it specializes in a plethora of game maker tutorials. Thanks!
what are some games that are like Crash Bandicoot 1-5?
basically what im looking for: pure platforming adventure, gather the crystals, secret gems, collect peaches for 1up, jump on penguin’s head to kill penguin, etc etc…….just like mario but 3D world.
im looking for the levels to be just one narrow road. not one where you can explore.
it can be 2D or behind the character view. Pc games please!
Thank u !
I want to develop a 2D iPhone side scroller entirely by myself. I do not know anything at all about programming/coding but this is something I really want to do and am willing to put the time into. I have a mac.
I’ve read objective C is the best to learn but there’s always the “if you have a C language background…” caveat, I do not have any programming background.
Right now I just want to develop for the iPhone but I suppose general programming skills would come in handy as well, so please take that into consideration.
Also, if anyone could tell me about how long it would take to develop say a 2hr platforming game in the vein of Metroid or Castlevania, that’d be great so I’ll have an idea of what I’m getting into.
something along the lines of Castlevania – jumping, fighting enemies, exploration w/ map, collecting items, etc.
is there a free (or low-cost) game engine available?
I am finding that the games we play today are becoming too cliched. It seems the industry is getting away with narrative over game design, and people just become hooked with these games. It is especially apparent in the abundance of first person shooters (FPS) that have been shoved to us. Where is the innovation in this genre? The only two that tried to be different to me was Mirror’s Edge, with no weapons as such, but good-old 3D platforming Fallout 3 does try to introduce some RPG elements like Perks and Upgrades, along with “story-driven decisions” that you can make. A cool idea. Third Person Shooters seem to be less criticized because they appear to have somewhat better innovations, because we can see the actions of the players we are using. Nevertheless, I am getting tired of these FPS games getting shove into the gaming world with the same cliched gameplay of shoot to kill, and an occasional grab or place item mission.
Don’t get me started on online multiplayer. I don’t even see the thrill of playing it for long. I only seem to like it if we are playing on local servers, because it simulates local multiplayer (kind of like offline multiplayer), because you know who you are competing with, and taunting or fighting them is more fun and playful (not so serious). But when you verse strangers, they can be really awful or impolite socially or physically in-game.
What’s so great about FPS these days? I try to like it, but it’s just getting repetitive to me and many gamers.
I enjoy where some companies have gone to, such as re-inventing the 2D platforming genre such as Mario, Sonic, Bionic Commando, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Rayman etc. Yet…why are there so many FPS games? Whatever happened to innovation?

I want to find a game with both 2d platforming and 2d beat’em up game play, but I want the two play styles to switch from level to level or something similar. If my description seems too confusing then just look at the game Legend of the Mystical Ninja for SNES.
I want to make a 2D Platforming game in Java. What programs do I need to install or download to allow me to start learning and using java? I have some programming knowledge but I am going to start learning more once I figure out what programs I need to get.
