While browsing the indiegamer forums i found a post about sfxr wich is a little tool that generates sound effects. You just select a category of sound effect like ‘laser’ or ‘powerup’ from the left hand side of the tool. Sfxr then generates a random sound effect of this type and let you play around with a lot of variations. After you’re finished you can save the resulting sound as .wav file.
I had a blast trying this tiny 48k! program, its so funny and you immediatly think you are sitting in front of your old tv-console. Download it here or browse over to the sfxr site.

I just wanted to let you know, that iam quite happy with the release of the Marble Sheep Game the so far. The majority of comments was nice, thanks a lot for that. Also a big thanks to the first customer Kiyaku, check out his game Angelas World too.

If you want to show some love, you could digg the story at digg.com and help spread the word. I also posted a link over at Milk & Cookies wich you are welcome to rate. Of cause check out the free demo, if you haven’t alread.

For those of you curious about the download figures, i think after 3 days i got like ~700 downloads now and i just started to advertise here and there. I also received some awards for the game from various download sites. Lets see what will happen in the future… i’m now off to do some university studies, have a nice weekend!

Today i want to tell you about a funny flashgame i discovered recently. The name is Desktop Tower Defense.

Goal of the game is to prevent little handdrawn smileys to pass the desk. You have different types of towers to place/draw on the desk so the smileys cant pass. You can even upgrade the towers and there are different types of towers against different types of smileys. Some Smiley fly whereas others run fast and so on…
