Concept Hunter - Kram Keep
A Ludum Dare 31 Metroidvania that manages to perform the entire genre in a tiny form factor.
Concept Hunter is a weekly show focusing short games with cool concepts. Every Tuesday I find an interesting game and pick it apart from a game design perspective.

Note - after a week hiatus due to the Global Game Jam where I made something, I'M BACK!
Concept Hunter - Walk To The Door
You wouldn't think a game jam game inspired by the windows interface is gonna be good. Though the execution is lacking the idea still caught my eye.

There was no Concept Hunter episode posted yesterday. Sadly I couldn't find the time as I wasn't really home the entire day. The good news however, are the reason I wasn't home - I was at the GameIS 2014 Award show, where I won the Best Student Game of 2014 for my game Ambi!
I got all kinda of prizes, including a crate of beer!
The entire event was during the day, and I spent the night celebrating with friends.
Concept Hunter will return next week hopefully on schedule.
Have a great day!

Concept Hunter - Letters From Secret Santa
A wonderful example of combining story with mechanics in a very powerful way. Each on its own is ok, but together they are incredibly engaging.

Concept Hunter - Perspective
A Unity student game is exactly my kinda game. There are a lot of issues with this platformer, but also a ton of heart!

Sadly there will be no Concept Hunter this week. Here is a list of my rather shitty excuses:
I'm a bit sick with my voice not working properly.
My main monitor died so I only have my secondary one.
It's already a day late.
I have family over and can't record in peace.
I'm really sorry for letting people down but I rather just rest up and calm down, I want to be able to go to work on Sunday.
I promise to be back in shape for next week! Hopefully...
Have a good day!

Concept Hunter - circloO
An intriguing platformer that might be trapped in simplicity by its theme.

Concept Hunter - Onomastica 2
This one is just about as experimental as it gets. In such a case we can only look at it and think of the possibilities.

Concept Hunter - Bobby Da Arrow
We take a look at a traditional arc-bow game with a massive amount of elements making it a great set-up for serious puzzling and execution.
