At the very end of 2021, I posted a status update, and at the very end announced that there would be two status updates a year going forward. Well, it’s been half a year since then (already!), which means it’s time for the mid-2022 status update! This year wasn’t as busy, but there’s still plenty… Read More: Mid 2022 Status Update »
After a year of blood, sweat, and tears, Shattered 2 is finally here and available for download. Shattered 2 follows on from Shattered as another story-rich action adventure with RPG elements and first person combat. Like the first game, it mixes high fantasy and medieval realism in a retro-style, 2.5D world, but this time it’s an open world, with… Read More: Shattered 2 Released »
2021 was another interesting year. Somewhat calmer and more collected than 2020, but with its own challenges and surprises nonetheless. It was also, unexpectedly, a very productive year. Since the last update… Almost immediately after the last status update was GBTK Jam #6. This is a parody of the GMTK jam where the objective is… Read More: End Of Year 2021 Status Update »
The Crystal Tower (formerly known as Project Takagi) is a holiday special featuring Magical Girl Gina. It follows At The Break Of Dawn in the Outliers and Outsiders series, but is more a spinoff or special than a sequel. When a fancy Christmas party goes horribly wrong and terrorists take over the Liberty Macvonden Building,… Read More: The Crystal Tower Released »
CommonCore is the shared framework/library that underpins almost every game I make. It can be imagined as a layer between the Unity engine and the game itself, and takes care of most infrastructure and some mechanics stuff, allowing one to (in theory) Just Build A Game. You can read a little more about it in… Read More: CommonCore 3.0.0 Released »
At The Break Of Dawn is my entry to Magical Girl Game Jam 4. It is a direct sequel to my MGGJ2 entry, In The Middle Of The Night. Magical girls Gina and Sakura return in a new adventure set a few months later, facing a deadly new threat. Gameplay is similar, but streamlined and… Read More: At The Break Of Dawn Released »
It’s now past the halfway point of 2021, which is a weird feeling. Sometimes it still feels like spring 2020. Nonetheless, that means it’s time for another status update post! This year has been a bit of an odd year. I’d gone in planning to make one or two big games, plus something small for… Read More: Summer 2021 Progress Update »
After a long period of languishment, Ascension III has been formally cancelled. A full explanation, along with some background and reflection, is in the devlog here. In short, I’ve lost interest in Ascension III, the Ascension series, and long projects in general, and after setting it aside for a while I have no plans to… Read More: The End of Ascension III »
Wow, is the quarter already coming to a close? This year is definitely a busier one than the last, but I’ve still managed to get some work on projects in here and there. What’s here: A Dream of Valhalla A Dream of Valhalla (or just Valhalla for short) is my entry to Magical Girl Game… Read More: Spring 2021 Status Update »
2020 was… a thing. Let’s talk about what happened, what didn’t, and what’s next. I’m not going to wax rhetorical on the past year. There have been a lot of terrible and unexpected happenings and some seriously bad vibes, but this is fundamentally a project blog, and that’s what this post is about. Almost a… Read More: Final 2020 Status Update – A year in review »
