As is traditional now, I’ve spent a couple of hours having things not work for no explicable reason. It doesn’t help that Flashpunk’s documentation isn’t very good, but all I’m trying to do is draw a...

Initial Progress
So far today I’ve managed to get some base code done that I should have done a long time ago (hooray!) and basic player movement. The level generation is still just a test thing to see how the tiles...

I’m finally giving this jam a serious go, after not really doing much in the last few LDs. Hooray! ‘Heinous Yak Destruction’ is a name that came out of http://videogamena.me/ a week or so ago, and it’s...

Progress!
Heinous Yak Destruction is going fairly well. I’m quite pleased with my little yak character. Turns out that small size + only 3 colours per sprite = really easy art. If you feel like being a giant...

Well, it’s 9:30pm over here, so I’m stopping for today. (Yup, I’m hardcore and I know it. :P) As always, the current state of Heinous Yak Destruction is here. I’m pretty pleased! I’ve got some sound...

After a brief period of oh-my-goodness-what-on-earth-am-I-going-to-do-for-this-theme – related panic, I’ve settled on a game idea: Goblin Fortress! It’ll be a basic city-builder game: build up your...

End of Saturday Status: Now Playable, and With Goats!
Firstly: Play it here! Made some decent progress. I have goblins in, with some basic state-machine AI – they get a job, then go to work until they get tired and go home to sleep. They did get hungry...

Final Update for Goblin Fortress
It’s been an awesome weekend. Unfortunately, I attempted something far too big, and so while I’m really pleased with what I have, there’s no actual goal, or win/lose condition. Then again, I’ll...
View Article#7drts – I’m in!
I’ve barely started, because I want sure what I was going to do until recently. I’m going to remake Goblin Fortress, which I entered to LD last December. As I left it, it was a very basic city builder,...

End of Saturday
Today didn’t go wonderfully. I really struggled for an idea that wasn’t dull or impossible, then I faffed about with Blender for ages before giving up. Eventually fiddled around a little more, and I...

Summersaulting Swans

SWAN QWOP Completed!
That’s supposed to be water. Perhaps I should have simply called it a ball pit. I forgot to post about this before. >_> <_< SWAN QWOP is complete! It’s been a while since I’ve actually...
