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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
An early Christmas present, or something like that! The 2020 Jam Sampler is a compilation of the games I made in 2020, all put together with a spiffy launcher and a few extras. Download it here!
The long-awaited (?!) sequel to Bang Ouch is now out! I’ve had a vague inkling of this for most of the year but I decided to finally throw it together for 7dfps 2020 and PROCJAM 2020. Bang Ouch Infinite is a first-person shooter with (nearly) infinite variation. It can be as silly or as profound… Read more »
CommonCore is a framework/library for building games (and especially my usual brand of FPS/RPG games) on the Unity engine and has underpinned almost every game I’ve released in the past two years. It has now hit an important milestone: the first non-preview release! Let’s be honest, this year has been pretty bad for a lot… Read more »
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 »
