Drunken coder ramblings
After a marathon coding session over Saturday and Sunday I finally got the game finished. It’s not perfect but it’s still a great pick-up game considering I sacrificed a few things at the end to make the deadline. Most of the time on Sunday was spent tracking down some real pain-in-the-butt bugs from new stuff […]
Not going to write too much here as I am literally at the final crunch now with Envahi. It’s early Sunday morning and the game needs to be completed, hosted somewhere and will need final builds for both Mac and PC. Spent a lot of time over the last week strictly whittling down the list […]
Didn’t realise that it’s been over 3 weeks since the last update on the blog. Luckily the game hasn’t been neglected as well. As the title says, deadline day is fast approaching now for Envahi to be completed and submitted for the competition. Will it be complete by then? I think so. Will it have […]
A dramatic title for this entry but probably a bit of an over-statement. Over the weekend I put a lot of time into Envahi again after my temporary switch back to Boulderdash to start work on the object system. I’ve got that working up to a point where I could test the enemies and, whilst […]

Actually, it’s a bit further on than that as the competition started on January 30th and it’s now 10th of February. So, twelve days in. Just short of two weeeks. Around a fifth of the allowed time has already passed. Am I still on track? Firstly I’ve been busy today setting up a proper network […]
Some nice Airwolf music goes in today as I got permission from the composer to use it for this game. It certainly sounds good when I play it on the hacked together title screen. Took the unusual step of putting together the screen that shows when the game first launches today. I wanted to use […]
Tuesday January 30th, 2018 Boulderdash – as close as it is to completion – is going on hold today as I’ve decided to enter a competition to code a small game based on either a TV or Movie theme. This competition is being run by the Syntax Bomb website which is frequented by a lot […]
