Ludum Dare 46: Super Immunizer

Ludum Dare 46 gamejam has just finished (and seems to have been hugely popular). The theme was "Keep It Alive".

I took part with my cousin Alkis Tagaras (who made the 3D graphics) and my friend Giorgos Giannisis, who made the music. The result is Super Immunizer, a mini-game where you fight microbes as an immune system cell.

This jam went a lot smoother compared to last year's Ludum Dare 44, where I hadn't had enough time to finish the game. Despite still not adding as much content as I was planning (the game's logo teases 3D models that were never put into gameplay), Super Immunizer is adequately polished for gamejam standards.

You can play the game through the Ludum Dare page, on its Itch.io page and on its GameJolt page. Also check out the other games in the jam.

Missed the chance to include COVID-19 as an in-game enemy. But then again I think we all had enough of it and wouldn't miss it.

Aircraft maintenance simulator & VR game projects

Since the start of this academic year I've been enrolled in a Computer Science postgraduate program. I have found a couple of my semester projects to be noteworthy, so I thought I should post about them.

Stick Veterans 2.0: a long-overdue update

It's been so long since the last game update that I feel nervous writing this. After a long time of development and rewriting, a new update is finally available. Stick Veterans 2.0 is now published on Poki, a popular online games website.

Barbara vs Zombies

A few years back I made a game, Barbara vs Zombies, for my then-girlfriend Barbara. She used to like an old light-gun game, House of the Dead , so I depicted her dodging and shooting zombies in this one. Included a backstory with silly romanticism, cats, and inside jokes. It's been nearly a year since we broke up, and this game has been sitting forgotten in my hard disk. I eventually decided it shouldn't go to waste. It is, after all, a game meant to remind us of happy times. Download and play the game on Gamejolt or itch.io . I had made an Android version too, maybe I'll get around to publishing it someday. Hang in there, 2020 was a tough year, but you've made it this far already, so congrats. 💖 -Kostas
