Xtreme King Abdicator - 'Cause you can have fun outside a Republic.

Being a King in a modern country is hard. You have a lot of work to do and subjects to make happy with your Christmas speech. Will you be able to Reign the country of Pravia for 50 years, or will you abdicate sooner by the pressure of the job?

Xtreme King Abdicator, between the parody, the political satire and the fun is a casual game of skill and expertise; You'll face 3 different levels of difficulty during the 9 levels that represent the possible 50 years of your reign (If you can reach that!)

First, the announcement. You can download now (now), for free-for you-forever, Xtreme King Abdicator for Android, just get it here!

It's a skill game, you have the hard job of a King in modern times; Sitting behind a expensive desk, sealing documents, and signing diplomas. (While I was making the game, I'm waiting that my dear new King Felipito VI sign my Philosophy University Diploma.


The same night I released the crappy Lil'Bunny Race, I started working in this Idea.The programming has been like 3 nights and an afternoon, the graphics, the weekend. The graphics provide the narrative thread of the story of this King in the fictional Country of Pravia, from 1980 to 2030, in an age of profuse change of mentality about our government and the way the high caste see life.

My country (Catalonia, Spain) lives in interesting times, but seems not interesting enough. The "silent bulk" of the population wants the monarchic system to persevere, they say. Anyway, I made this homage to the royalty in general , that had make so much for all countries in the late centuries.(Irony off).

I put a lot of love in this game, my first 100% from scratch programming, sound elaborating (The volume is not quite accurate yet, Hope to fix that in future updates), and take a lot of fun making the irreverent graphics.




If you like my work, or this game, please invite me a coffe, at least, I'll be very pleased ;) You can do it down here;

Advise for Noob App Developers like me - Run rabbit, I mean, Fly, Bunny!!

So, Yesterday I got this silly idea; Make a tap and fly Bunny inspired Hot Lander version.
Well, two days, it's done. I looked over the ranking contraries in Google Apps.

My new game (game, cause is too silly to be called a game), it's called Lil'Bunny Race (Little Bunny Race). So, she flies (my bunny is a girl.. that's a strange phrase), don't run, but well. When you search "Bunny Race" in Google Play, you directly stomp into more than 40 games of Little and Cute bunnies/rabbits running.

Yes, that what they do; Bunnies that run. They run in 2d, horizontal scrolling, vertically scrolling the screen, or run in 3d. They are rabbits, and they run. more than 40 games in the first 60 ranking results.

Ok, you know, infinite run/fly scrollers get famous for Temple Run, Flappy birds, and that sort of things (in mobile, In PC I can only thing of the fantastic, addictive and VERY HARD BIT TRIP RUNNER, (greeeeat game, awesome music).

Then, On trillion Indie developers, little Mobile money maker companies, and just Oportunity squashers, say "Oh gosh Oh gosh Oh gosh come come come we're gonna make a run game of every animal in the f****ng royal animal kingdom!"

And this is the result. Me, personally, Alarconte, not the little company I represent, 7Ye, I just made another silly game (yes, is a re-skin of Hotlander, with the menus more friendly), to check how weekends, ranking, active installs, total installs, etc, affect apps. (And yes, Advertising Networks) 'Cause there is no much information out there. Yes, there is a LOT information out there, but fraking hard to find (And you know why, Gooog..Gosh!).

But I have to fight to be visible among 40 cute little bunnies and rabbits that run and flight to get carrots, moneny or wathever. THERE ARE GOOD GAMES between them, much better than mine. (but well, none of them have a so sexy bunnylady like mine ;)).

What was the point of this dissertation? Make an original game, like I'm doing with Hearts Date Club (A bit of auto-flattering here, I guess). Put it a good name. Don't try to outrank the well established. Make a game that don't have competitors, and all you have left to do is Marketing. More on the practical aspect of this another day, right now, here you have, as promised!!

Click the link to be transported to a happy dimension, with flying carrots and cute furry-ladies!

Happy Carrots and Flying Bunny Girls!



And I have to say, I consider this game lot more fun than Hot Lander, and the gameplay is the same. I think I see progress, here...

Two days relax - Good things come to those who wait

Yesterday I thought. "meh, I can just use two days to launch another silly game like the last one , checking in that fashion more about Google Play discoverability (or whatever), ups and downs, ranking etc.

I thought, "meh, Just a Hot Lander re-skin will work.". A voice in my head told me that Socrates said "Remember, what is unbecoming to do is also unbecoming to say". And I just thought "meh..."

Today I was preparing the cradle for my first-born, that is coming very soon, So I've done 1/3 or 1/2 of all the graphics of the game. I hope tomorrow I have time to retrofit Hot Lander's programming and launch the new silly game.

I'm a long way from making a little money from mobile games, not even finished the first serious game (Hearts Date Club) but It's worth the effort; I just wanna get established a little in the publishing-games-for-little-coins-world to get some real free time to work in "big" (or at least interesting, time consuming to program) PC-Games.

At least I'm happy making a new "kind" of graphics (In the time of the last test of the university I began to make Galactic Battlefare Universe Art, in a different way, but that will be the thing for another day), at least for two days. Let me show you a sneak peek; (It's an extra, nobody interesting, but you can see what other "kind" of theme...


Lil' Bunny character

PS: Some blog-testers says that I have too many images and little text. I always thought that One image is worth more than thousand words... Now the only thing I know is that I don't know nothing (thank you Socrates, again)

Final Thought: While I was in university, the most gaming-creative productive moments were when I have a lot of university work. Now that I ended, I have a real need to put me short-term objectives. The first, this little game in two days. If isn't published on friday, I'll let you slap me on the wrist, ripping me to shreds, tweak my ears, or whatever expression is what I'm really trying to use ;)


After this short entry, I think is dinner time. See you!
