Cheese Wheels

Mike Berg — Sat, 20 Nov 2021 14:09:44 +0000

One day — out of the blue — my 11yo challenged me to make a game with:

4 cards
pawns
cubes
dice

After proclaiming this, he added as a joking afterthought, “And… it has to be about cheese.”

So I made Cheese Wheels — a 4-card pickup & deliver game for two players. You can download the game here.

Red Laser Blue Laser

Mike Berg — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 13:27:49 +0000

A game made in two days for PegJam 2019.

Download it here.

Every time you fire, your laser flip-flops between red and blue. You must hit the red enemies with red lasers and the blue enemies with blue lasers. If you hit an enemy with the wrong colour, it gets bigger and needs to be hit twice.

Game design and “enemy” artwork: Mike Berg
SFX: Nathanael Wsiaki. Nat did awesome work converting my weird mouth noises and descriptions of sound into sfx that were even better than I imagined. Check him out.
VFX: FX Variety Pack by Kakky
Background art: Scifi Kitbash Level Builder by Denys Rutkovskyi
Music: Action Game Loops Pack by MuzStation Game Music

I made a prototype of this game in 2015 that you can try here. I wanted to try my hand at rebuilding it in Unreal. The goal was to make it more mobile-friendly by using a differing shooting mechanic that wouldn’t require a virtual d-pad that was used to move your “ship”.

This led to three large buttons at the bottom of the screen that you tap to fire. This way the game could be played with one hand.

Robot Rampage

This project is for a Ray Wenderlich tutorial teaching users to make an FPS game in Unity.

The tutorial author asked for a colour-coded set of bots to fight, with corresponding coloured weapons and ammo pickups.

See this game in action in this video:

Piloteer

Whit had already created a work of art with Piloteer when he came to me looking for a logo and UI. He wanted something that would both contrast with the beautiful chalky drawings he had done for the game, yet still compliment the steampunk style of the jetpack and the main character’s outfit.

I went for “understated steampunk”; metallic and mechanical, without being gaudy. And that just-right amount of animation.

See the game for yourself on the App Store, here.

iOS Games by Tutorials – All Game Art

Mike Berg — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 16:17:43 +0000

Doing game art for 6 different mini-game projects at once is an interesting challenge! I enjoyed working Ray and his team to make artwork — including logos and icons — for all the games in this book.
