Last week we implemented gamified 404 pages into coconauts. Everytime you hit a 404, instead of getting a boring image and cursing for your misfortune, you’ll now get a classic videogame to make you forget your disappointment.

We initially implemented pacman and space-invaders style games, but we’ve now added a snake game on top of them, and not only that, the source code for them is now public on a github repo, so you can use them in your own website if you want.

Happy mislinking.

This project has been available for a long time as a opensource software in github, but we didn’t do any official announcement or anything as we have been testing it and adding more features.

Today we present a software for managing all your games and emulators in your computer.

Getting a 404 page is not something enjoyable, that’s why we wanted to build something nice for anyone that lands in this unexpected place.

So we built a few simple classic games in HTML5 + Canvas, and you will get randomly one of these everytime you land in our 404 page.

In a past post we’ve shown you how to make 8-bit music, which you might want to use in a game. But of course, if you are having 8-bit music, you’ll want your game sound effects to match as well.

In this post we’ll show you how to generate 8-bit style sound effects for for games using a very simple free tool called bfxr. No audio or DSP knowledge needed!

All the big companies like Samsung, Sony and even Facebook are doing their best to build the ultimate Virtual Reality headset and make it standard.

Once they are in the market, we (indie game developers) need to be ready to build VR games so everyone can enjoy their fancy expensive devices.

So, in order to start playing with them, you could either pay 350$ dollars for a Oculus Rift developing kit, or you could get one of those cheap kits from Google or even build your own, and start building games in Unity3D.
