Agent X is finally done

August 29, 2013 by wroolie Leave a Comment

So, for the last 2 months my mind has been on this game.  It has been a long and difficult road, but it is finally done.  I’m very proud of Agent X.

It is an algebra game, so that may put people off from the beginning. So, I don’t mention “algebra” anywhere in the description.  It is not a game for little kids.

But ever since I was a kid myself, I liked to write stories.  I like spy and detective stories mostly.  And I really love the cliche pulp fiction that you find in so many paperbacks.  With Agent X, to a very small degree, I was able to write a story.  I love the comic book sections of the game more than anything else.

I was able to write some cool dialogue and a script of how I wanted it to look.  I gave it to a very talented artist in Spain (his name is Francisco Maldonado and I am now a big fan) and he drew it better than I could have imagined.  My development team in India coded it well for both iPhone and Android.  The only problems I really had was with animated sprites– this went through 3 different designers and ended up costing me too much money (and a lot of lost sleep).  But in the end, I’m happy with the result.

It is live on Google Play and coming soon to iTunes.
