Announcement: IndieGames.Com: The Weblog
Here’s some news - the Independent Gaming weblog is moving to a new domain and becoming IndieGames.com: The Weblog, as part of the CMP Game Group (Independent Games Festival creator)’s outreach into the independent gaming scene.
Please change your bookmarks to point to IndieGames.com: The Weblog at http://www.indiegames.com/blog - indygamer.blogspot.com will no longer be updated. The Feedburner RSS feed for Independent Gaming has been automatically switched to point to the new site. Comments are being migrated as we speak.
Thanks to the CMP Game Group and Simon Carless for the invaluable support and hosting of the new site; we promise to continue to serve all your indie games news and review needs as we have done before. Here’s a word from Simon about this change:
Mondo Agency
UPDATE: cactus has decided to update the game due to the feedback he’s gotten. The jumping level is now easier and skippable for those who have trouble beating it. There’s been a few other changes as well, including vital bug fixes.
This is cactus entry for the winter competition at YoYoGames.com.
“Welcome to Mondo Agency! An eerie cyber FPS with horror and puzzle elements. As an agent it is your mission to kill laser indians and save the president!
Tekkyuuman
Tekkyuuman is a new release by prolific Japanese developer Ikiki, famous for a number of controversial games featuring ninjas, bloodbath and outrageous violence. Usually with all three elements at the same time.
In this game, you must make your way towards the green spiky object and smash it with the flail. Use the control key to swing your weapon and tap the left shift key to jump. A wall jump can also be executed by pressing the same shift key when scaling up walls.

MDickie is the author of dozens of unique games, and probably needs no introduction for most of this audience so I’ll get right to the interview.
1. One thing that’s notable about you is how fast you complete games, often in three months; did you ever have problems with procrastination, or is working so fast natural to you? Do you use any productivity tools such as to-do lists or schedules, or do you just work on things as you feel like it?
