In The Middle Of The Night is my entry to Magical Girl Game Jam 2. It’s not a sequel to Shattered, but it is another genre mashup, combining magical girls with gun-and-magic first person shooter gameplay and visual novel style conversations. Gina was pretty much your basic, edgy, low-key geeky, slightly gothy teenager. Now she’s… Read more »
I know I’ve missed at least a month, probably more like two, but it’s been a hectic, confusing past few months. I think that goes for just about everyone. So what’s been happening over here? Ascension III is still kind of stalled. I’m no longer planning to work on the sometimes-mentioned Frangis vertical slice demo… Read more »
It’s been exactly two years since the first public test release of what would become Ascension III. And although the last few months have been slow going, in general we’ve come a long, long way. The new demo is basically just a rollup, incorporating both the previous Island and Dragon demos as well as the… Read more »
As I’d expected, June was a messy month. I managed to get a little work done on CommonCore and some miscellaneous projects, but nothing really noteworthy. I started documenting CommonCore, finally, but that’s a long and ongoing project. So Bad It’s Good Jam 2020 happened near the end of the month, and I spent a… Read more »
RiftBreak is my entry this year to So Bad It’s Good Jam. This is the fourth year in a row I’ve done that jam, and this year was a huge success with over 70 entries, twice as much as any other year. RiftBreak took fourth place, which I’m quite proud of considering the number of… Read more »
May was a bit of a weird month. It kind of flew by, and I didn’t feel like I was getting a lot done. What really happened was a lot of little projects that sucked up a day here and a day there. Some of them were interesting, and I got to play with some… Read more »
Wow, is it already May? I was thinking about how I was going to have to do a progress update soon… and then two weeks just blew by! Things have been very strange lately, as I think just about everyone can attest. I went into April with grand plans, and then spent most of it… Read more »
Shattered – Why Not Me is a medieval fantasy magical girl visual novel action genre mashup thing created for Magical Girl Game Jam. It was previously known as Project Lucidity and you may have seen some of my Twitter posts on that. Get it now on itch.io! The daughter of a minor noble, Lady Briella… Read more »
Recently, I’ve been made aware of problems with installing and running macOS builds of my games. This is not entirely surprising; I provide these builds as-is because I’m not a Mac developer and have a very limited ability to test these. I was able to track down what seems to be causing problems with the… Read more »
Heavy Metal Slug is a 2.5D fan remake of Metal Slug, created for the Old Games Remaster jam! I put this together in about a week, and it was an interesting experience outside of my usual faire. I managed to get about 80% of what I was shooting for implemented, though I really consider this… Read more »
