Tonight I’ve been playing around with the graphics from “Zombie Smasher”, the sample game from Jamezila‘s book (if you want to know how he made “The Dishwasher”, buy it!). Here’s the result:

hey guys , are you planning to release this engine?
I’m very curious about this game engine and would love to learn more about it. Is there anyway I can get into contact with the administrator of this engine. My website is located at http://apexstudios.wordpress.com and I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Keep up the good work!
This looks very nice, is there SVN or CVS repository where we can try the source code?
Hello, this looks like a great editor and I look forward to the release. I actually have an upcoming project that would highly benefit from this base and I would even be willing to help develop it. I have written a number of casual games and I have a good bit of c# experience. Please contact me if you are interested and I will provide more information.
Thank you.
will this be a gui 4 making games (kinda like gamemaker or ika ?)
or is this more like sdl or pygame?
I was starting to work on a toolset like this one when I found this engine on Ziggyware article. I’ve very interested in using it as its worlds ahead of my prototyping. If there is a source control I can grab your beta off of that would be awesome, otherwise I’ll try and remember to check your website for release info.
I’m very much interested in this 2D game engine/editor. I hope you plan to release it soon, it looked as though it was in very workable condition, at least in the videos, and even if there are some bugs, if it’s truly going to be open source, hopefully you’ll get some extra hands to help with the coding.
Nice one! The Vidz looks powerfull, but whats about a release?
Definitely get the beta out as soon as possible! You’ll have a ton of hands to help you in no time.
And also, you should set up a message board!
Can’t wait to hear more!
Gief editor release plx =P
Please Epsicode, why don’t you release your 2d game engine?, I’m sure that you’ll have millions of hands who will be happy to help you in make some improvments.
I’m really interested in this engine, I would really like to get into xna and i believe that this engine could help hundreds realize their gaming ideas in a form which is more accessible than simply using xna.
Not only would i love to realize my own game ideas using this engine but i would also love to help in any way that i can. Id love to get hold of this even if its in pre alpha just so i can have a play around :)
Hey icecream, really looking forward to getting hands on with this engine. I have a small team working on various projects for xna I would love to beta your product and help in any way possible. Keep up the good work it looks very promising.
This looks amazing. I simply cannot wait for this to be released. You are doing great work. Thank you
Unfortunately it seems to be starting to look like vaporware though :\ .
Wow, great!
when will this engine release? i’m waiting for it :)
Would love to hear an update on this project.
I`m sad that there hasn`t been an update for this Game Editor :-(
Please if you are serious on releasing this engine in anyway. Post an update.
Looks amazing from what I’ve seen so far!
I am an eager developer to start using this software. I would be very happy to join the development team, putting this software through its paces in any kind of alpha or beta testing, as well as developing a full-blown demo.
Any updates or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Epsicode… Conkerjoe… Is there ANY chance of an update of any kind? Is this still being developed? Has it fallen off the map? Will it ever be released? ANYTHING?!
Hey guys, this is still very much in development. We’ve held off a public release up to now so we can concentrate on getting it as feature complete as possible. The first commercial game using the IceCream engine will be on Xbox Community Games very soon called SBARG, so that should give you a good indication of how functional IceCream/Milkshake is. I couldnt have built the game without it.
Hold tight guys, it’s coming!!!
YESSS!! Thanks for the update, Conkerjo! I’m elated to hear that things are still in motion. I’ve been watching some YouTube videos of SBARG and it looks awesome; I can’t wait for the release. Thanks again and long live Icecream/Milkshake :)
Can… Not… Wait!!!
I am REALLLLLLY looking forward to the release, I just heard about this project and ironically I am starting to get into game design to try my hand in it. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, I read it was yet to be released, and I cringed, then looked for an alternative that I could not find… so… yeah.
I can’t wait to get started!
Thanks for doing all this work!!!!!!!
Maybe some post news ? How’s the progress ? Any new screenshots/video ?
Give something – c’mon !
I agree with andrew, can we at least get a post showing the progress? not to be rude though…
Blog updated ;)
Hi there, I just come across your website hunting on online as I am researching some material on dishwashers. appears like an interesting site so I have bookmarked you and will come back tomorrow to have a more detailed read when i have more time. Keep up the good work.
I was asking yourself what is up with that weird gravatar??? I know 5am is early and also I’m not looking my most excellent at that hour, but I hope I don’t look like that! I may however make that face if I’m asked to do 100 pushups. lol
