I make #games because the alternative would be to lie down and never get up again.
I make #art because art is good. One of the few good things we have in this world.
I #write about it all so that others may have a better shot at success than I did.
Who needs yet another expression calculator? Likely no-one. It was still fun to make, and taught me new things. Besides, gotta love those colorful buttons.
In happier news, my text-based port of Space Cruiser Orion is at last making visible progress. A good feeling.
It occurs to me I haven't shared a screenshot in way too long. So here's what an afternoon of tinkering just earned me:
Two more days of work, and I have a much more advanced demo, that showcases in-engine editing among other features.
After exactly two days of work, the EightWay Engine works about right, and I have a colorful demo to walk around in, complete with HUD.
It takes well under 200 lines of HTML and JS to render this image, and 70% of that is a reusable graphics engine:
After just a few days of work, the new ASCII Mapper can already open my old Electric Rogue maps.
One more day, and everything in the View menu works. Time for refactoring, because damn, GUI code can get real messy real quick.
Another morning of work, and the desktop edition of ASCII Mapper has a very nice, if not yet functional, GUI. (You can edit the map.)
Taking a break from #gamedev this afternoon, but damn if these #screenshots don't look good already:
Development on Attack Vector Zero: Cybersphere slowed down these days, so for now have a nice title screen. It's even animated!
It's been too long since I posted a screenshot from my work in progress #game, so here it is:
It looks a lot more interesting in motion, but people seem to like the screenshot well enough. Might as well show everyone: it's a landscape scrolling effect for a retro rail shooter.
Just completed a command line port of Ramus 2. Details and downloads soon. Then, hopefully an original game for the system.
It seems people like my #art but not much else, so here's the cover to my game Attack Vector: Sunset Flight, made with the game engine.
Until things pick up for me here, have more #art: the cover for my game album Robots in Spring.
I hate #introductions, so instead here's some videogame-inspired #art from a while ago:
