HUNGRY IAN IS (a)LIVE!
You can now download the full version of Hungry Ian on Android via the Google Play store and on the Amazon App Store for Amazon Fire tablets. Hopefully iOS won't be far behind, but if you do have an iDevice you can install the game as a web app simply by visiting the GAME PLAY screen on your device and saving it to your homescreen as an app and voila enough Hungry Ian to keep you going until Hungry Ian hits the iOS market.
A new direction

Hello, and welcome to Stikkz Media. If you have visited this site before then you have probably noticed some changes. It is no longer a portfolio playground but now a fully fledged HTML5 Arcade... more games are coming very soon.
As well as HTML5 games I am looking at setting up a "Game Assets" area, where you can download assets for use in your own games. I am also hoping to have some guest bloggers, (you know who you are) who will provide you with some great content down the line.
And of course, if you are looking to license ANY of the games on stikkz.com please do not hesitate to get in touch.
I appreciate you taking the time to visit us, and I hope you have as much fun play my games as I have had making them.
Welcome to the new Stikkz Arcade!
Mila and the Quest for the Golden Axe
Aug 17, 2017
So when I have a few minutes between client projects and thekids I'm also working on a few of my own gaming and augmented reality projects.I'm really very new to the world of game design and development but hope to getinto it a lot more over the next few years.
I'm working on three games and an augmented realityapplication at the moment, with each aimed at different age ranges andincorporating completely different styles of game play. All three games and theapp exist in the same universe, allowing me to make use of familiar charactersI’ve designed for the 'Heroes' and 'Villains'.
One of the games is called ‘Mila and the Quest for theGolden Axe’, a traditional platform style game that was originally conceived atMoray Game Jam 2017. It was far, far, farrrrrrr away from winning the Game Jambut I had fun making it and got the chance to demo the game to the public,along with one of my other games, at this years XpoNorth in Inverness as partof the Gaming and Technology playground.
As usual XpoNorth was really busy and the buzz was goodamongst all the gaming stands, (if you’ve never been to XpoNorth you should popalong next year, it’s on for two days, free to get in and there’s lots of stuffto see, people to talk to and panels to attend). There were lots of impressivegames on show, some from Moray Game Jam and others from game developers and companiesfrom all over Scotland. Platform games, multiplayer futuristic Tron style ballgames, first person Virtual Reality games where you can swing through the airlike Spider-Man, classic Smash TV style games with a modern look and twist,massive world adventure games and everything in between. There really is some impressivegaming talent in Scotland ya know?
Anyway, Mila and the Quest… actually got a bit of attentionwith girls, boys men and women all having a go at the game, playing throughthree of the demo levels, or until their lives ran out, and they seemed toenjoy the game. Several players came back a few times for another go, so Ifigured there must be something there that people liked and this has encouragedme to continue developing it. Mila and the Quest… has a LOT of development togo but I am hoping to release it in 2018.
You can check out a wee video of one of the levels below, likeI say there’s a lot of development to go, animations, movement, story… but Ithought it might be good to post the footage as I go, then I’ll be able to lookback at the development, and it’s always good to get feedback, no matter howbrutal, to help improve what you’re doing.
