A Short Story

A man was bored and always bothered with existentialist pain. He was a nihilist and he was proud to find no meaning in life. He was proud to stand in front of life and say, "you're stupid". But one day, he got very depressed over something, and he tried to suicide. He did not die though, so he felt even more miserable.

Then as doctors gave prescription to, he started taking antidepressants and lived happily ever after.

A Wild Article Appeared!

Here's the wonderful article of Thomas about Ode To Pixel Days and why it's a special game.

Quoting from it:

"Through those simple and sometimes subtle mechanics, you actually live the feelings Hans is going through. From sadness he wants to avoid and stop, the frustration of having a load on his shoulder, to eventually freedom. Almost everything is expressed through level design and puzzle mechanics."

Thank you Thomas, you are a wonderful person!

Artechnik Podcast!

I've been the guest of the wonderful guys from Artechnik Podcast. Listen to us while I'm having a hard time speaking proper English for 53 minutes! This was my first interview ever, that's why I forgot even basic English words, but nevertheless, it was A LOT OF FUN. The guys were amazing, and they were so interested in my game and personality. I'm officially a fan!

We talked about the reactions I got to Ode To Pixel Days, my brother's game Zipzip: Secret Dimension, my fear and inability of playing video games as I just watched my brother play, and much more!

You can listen to, download the podcast here on this link. You can even listen to it through Itunes.

Ode To Pixel Days soundtrack is the most popular album from Turkey! How awesome is that?!

But there's more! The album is also popular on almost every genre tag of Ode To Pixel Days, but the coolest one is of course the "video game music" tag.

Let's Play Ode To Pixel Days!

I was just going through nice play-throughs of Ode To Pixel Days. I haven't watched all of them yet but I think the ones I watched are very worthy of posting. So if you're the most hardcore Ode To Pixel Days fan out there, and don't know what to do because you played the game once and got bored of it (let's face it, it's the most linear game of all times), then enjoy these videos that some nice people put a lot of work to.

Hans' First Trip

Here's some little aimless psychedelic toy I made when I got bored making the game a few months ago. I stole the name from "Syd Barrett's First Trip".

Left and Right arrows to walk around and get bored.

Ode To Pixel Days News

Ode To Pixel Days can be seen on Kongregate's front page as of now, which attracts a crazy amount of views for the game. It's currently 15K and counting on, which makes OTPD easily my most played game ever.

It also got featured on Newgrounds and got a Daily 4th Prize, which is nice. I didn't even know that they got a 4th prize :D

I really thought it wouldn't be liked on Kongregate and get some niche kind of attention over Newgrounds. The love OTPD is getting really exceeded my expectations.

I also got a long, nice article about OTPD, which is here:

IndieStatik

I also got a short Jayisgames review, which is also somewhere here:

So thank you for your support and love. I'm very glad that most of the people are enjoying my game. Thanks :)
