The Wingless Bee - Steam Release Trailer Ryan Silberman 2023-04-06 | Check the game out on Steam here! store.steampowered.com/app/2362590/The_Wingless_BeeThe Wingless Bee is a brand new Frogger-inspired game where a bee named Bella is abruptly thrown far away from the hive she lives and works at. With her wings destroyed, she can only hop to get back home. Along the way, she'll pick up honey drops and encounter all sorts of devious enemies and obstacles. Crumbling platforms, bouncy mushrooms, ice logs, boss battles, and more await her on her return. The game's levels are divided in that some will scroll vertically, while others will scroll horizontally. There are two modes of play - Story and Score Attack.Story mode goes through each level in a set order, one by one, featuring cutscenes and dialogue between Bella and whoever she meets along the way home.Score Attack allows players to pick from any available level to tackle for a high score on it, with the last batch of levels only available by playing them in Story mode first.Though the narrative centers around one bee, both modes can be played with a second player via local co-op multiplayer! However, as the camera continues to follow Player 1, Player 2 must make sure they stay on-screen or else they'll die and lose points as if they got hit by an enemy.The game does not have a lives system. Rather, you lose points if you die at any point in the game. Similarly, the timer at the bottom of the game screen will not kill the player if it runs out. Instead, it only serves as bonus points for when the player finishes a level. So you won't need to fret too much to get through a level, though if you want to try to net some high scores, being on your toes would still definitely matter.

ROBLOX Real or Fake (2009) - Full Playthrough Ryan Silberman 2022-12-01 | I was a big ROBLOX user in the late 2000s, so of course I had to pay homage to it by making a game. This basic game is a series of images where all the player has to do is find out which one didn't have any edits made to it. There's nothing much else to it, though the screenshots that are used for the level backgrounds do harken back to the good ol' days of ROBLOX. You can see my avatar, as well as my younger brother's (in the form of TDI1).
Homestar Runner (2007) - Full Playthrough Ryan Silberman 2022-12-01 | 2007 was when I was first starting to play around with Game Maker and do whatever I could to churn out some games. For a lot of the time, I ended up sloppily creating levels over frameworks I did not build. Homestar Runner was one of many, MANY games I "made" with the tutorial by MFGG user Goomdaddy. And of course, I did this because I was a big Homestar Runner fan.
Pac-Man: Birth of an Icon - One Year Later Ryan Silberman 2022-11-18 | This month marks an entire year since the release of Pac-Man: Birth of an Icon, the official Pac-Man art and history book I've been blessed with working on. For this video, I thought I'd take a look back on my contribution to the book and share some thoughts I had while doing my part. I also talk about my trip to Free Play Florida, which took place a couple weeks after the book released.If you haven't owned this awesome book yet, you can get it from multiple online retailers; I've personally seen it go for some relatively solid prices over on Amazon. You could also buy it directly from the Cook & Becker website.Timestamps:00:00 - Prelude01:50 - Providing Draft Feedback03:27 - The Pac-Man Gameology06:55 - Plagiarism Story07:57 - The Pac-Man Gameology (2)09:05 - Collector's Edition10:20 - The Trip to Free Play Florida15:37 - Disney Mini Golf!16:59 - The End!
Missleman CD (2010) Full Playthrough Ryan Silberman 2022-11-09 | Yes, this game was named after Sonic CD.Ah, the years from when Missleman wasn't Missileman, and was instead some character I threw into a million games. This game was put together using the "Warioland engine" made by Ultramario from MFGG.net, and it really, really shows.As you can see, I didn't know how to make Missleman shoot left, how to prevent music from overlapping, or how to make shooting stages work. Still, I like to think there's a charm in the utterly crude designs and drawings that were done here. This game was actually included as a secret game in Missileman Origins. If you have the game, you can go to the trash can in the ABSO school hallway and find out that it's a character. In Origins, I made it so Missleman CD was an in-universe fan project - and something special happens later if you've beaten it.You can also find this game in the Missileman 10th Anniversary Package, which be downloaded for free here:ryan-silberman.itch.io/missileman-10th-anniversary-package
Super Mario in Marooned on Mars (2019) 100% All Endings Playthrough Ryan Silberman 2022-11-05 | If you would like to play the game for yourself, you can play it here:ryan-silberman.itch.io/mario-keenIn 2019, I combined Mario with Commander Keen to make Super Mario in Marooned on Mars. The game is a half-remake, with it being very much based around the first episode of Commander Keen, but with Mario elements and mechanics mixed in. This results in probably my favorite free game I've created. I particularly enjoy the power-up shifting system I created, and I am very partial to the open-ended structure Commander Keen pioneered.The game has multiple ending sequences depending on what you get done. -Upon taking off with your ship, you're greeted with one of my favorite credits sequences I've put together.-If you beat every level, you get a cutscene showing Mario being welcomed back home-If you collect all 13 teddy bears, you get to see Katy's appreciation for Mario's effortsThis video shows what a playthrough looks like when you do all that.

Pac-Man Slide (Unpitched Proof-of-Concept Prototype) Ryan Silberman 2022-11-01 | Back in 2020, I spent a week prototyping a Pac-Man game I intended to pitch someday. And...I never did. Since today's my birthday, I decided to reveal that this prototype existed by posting about it on Daily Pac-Man.I call the game "Pac-Man Slide"The idea is that Pac-Man can only move one way until he hits a wall. Players are to figure out how to move around with this in mind. Levels could factor in the amount of points you got, how many moves you made, etc. I thought to follow that trend of Pac-Man mobile games where they center around one core mechanic and the levels would feature complementary elements that add to said mechanic (i.e. Pac-Man Friends, Pac-Man Bounce, etc)I still enjoy the level with the ladders, particularly.Oh yeah, and the new ghost at the last level shown is named "Tinky"
Ballads Quest (2014) Full Playthrough Ryan Silberman 2022-10-25 | Ballad's Quest is a game I made back when I was more prominently part of the Powerpuff Girls fan community on Deviantart. The game was made specifically for GeoffNET for his birthday that year. You play as his OC, Ballad, on a journey through 40 bite-sized levels. I used the same framework as I did for Dynamite Alex, but I changed up a good number of mechanics to make the overall feel become much different - I was very satisfied with the level and note counters. I created my own Ballad sprites using the Powerpuff Girls: Him & Seek graphics for the girls as a base, and I drew a number of other sprites used here such as the music notes, the levers, and the door. However, I still used plenty graphics I didn't draw as well, notably borrowing from games like Pitfall Jungle. The music was lifted straight from a Pac-Man fangame named PacWorlds; I always loved that game, so I wanted to keep a piece of it alive.I've always enjoyed the snappy pacing, the simple premise, and the variety to the obstacles you face in this one. It makes me want to make another game like it someday.If you would like to check out this game for yourself, you can play it here:ryan-silberman.itch.io/ballads-questI even exported it to HTML5 in 2020 so you can play the game without needing to download it.
Missleman Spy Strike 2 (2012) 100% Playthrough Ryan Silberman 2022-10-20 | This month marks a whole 10 YEARS since I made the game "Missleman Spy Strike 2" as a high schoolerI've already came up with Missileman 4 years prior, and played with Game Maker a LOT from there. So why do I hold this specific game so near and dear to my heart?It's a bit ironic; I originally made it as a "finale" for the Missileman series. I did everything I thought I wanted to do for the IP in this game. Since then, I "rebooted" the series through Missileman Origins in 2017, and recently did a holiday "bonus episode" of sortsEven though I came up with Missileman as a kid, it always stuck with me. And there are ideas I could still explore. Of course, back then, I did this PLENTY by spitting out content only a kid with a computer could have. It would be rare for me to spend a week on one game or videoEventually, after 2010 or so, there was a time where I felt like I was ready to do more than quick and hasty Game Maker sessions. I got the program because I wanted to make games. And while I was technically pumping out loads of games, that was me being a kid playing with a toyIn 2012, when I was looking at my next game, I realized it needed to be more than just thatI thought "Okay. I'm gonna make one last Missleman game. And I'm going to spend more than a week on this. Months, even. It'll be like a 'real' game."I consider Missleman Spy Strike 2 to be that "transition" period between the playfully crude, slapdash era of my game-making and the succeeding era where I put genuine effort in creating a full-fledged gaming experienceThere was still a lot of crude slapdash playfulness to the game. Even though I drew many sprites, I also grabbed all sorts of assets from the Internet and still used MIDIs of existing video game music. That's why I've never made a "deluxe" edition for Steam or the likeAt the same time, I was legitimately beginning to think like a game designer. I made coherent connections between elements of the game, thinking about what kinds of scenarios would make for fun, interesting levels. It's not to say the execution holds up terribly well today. Far from it. But the combination of that playfulness and attempts to consciously feel out the game's design remains special to me. I'm not even sure I've hid so many Easter Eggs in a game since!Spy Strike 2 took 6 months to make. When I finished it, I was starting 10th grade. Since then, I've been continuing to approach my game developments in ways that challenge my capabilities. 2014's Dynamite Alex would be the first time I felt like I made a game that holds its own as one. Of course, I'm not done exploring my possibilitiesI'm still tinkerin' away at my craft, and I'll always be coming up with characters, stories, and levels for the public to chew onIf your computer can play old, dusty Game Maker 7 games and you want to play an old, dusty platform game, Missleman Spy Strike 2 is still available to download here: ryan-silberman.itch.io/missleman-spy-strike-2
Pac-Man Shanghai Mahjong (Gameplay video) Ryan Silberman 2022-10-15 | Developed by CoolGames for the Yahoo Games Portal in Japan, this was one of many games released between 2016-2019 making use of Bandai Namco's Catalog IP license. After the license expired in 2020, all the games that came from it were removed from app stores and the like.The game itself is a mahjong tiles affair with a Namco theming, spread across 72 levels. I was thinking of playing them all for the sake a full playthrough, but I think for now just this will do fine.
