Ludum Dare 28: The First Hours
The theme for this Ludum Dare is: You Only Get One. To be quite honest, not really a fan of this theme. I tend to dislike the ones that imply a really strong gameplay focus since that feels restrictive. I…
Everending DevBlog 64: Winter
Well, the port to Haxe is pretty much done. All of the major bugs are fixed, everything seems to be up and running. There were a few sneaky issues in the map editor that took me a while to address,…
Lead-In to Ludum
Well it’s 10am and I still haven’t had any ideas so I guess today’s post is cancelled. Actually, semi-cancelled, since there’s something I wanted to bring up and now seems like a good opportunity to do so. A new Ludum…

An Untitled Person
I’m not sure what to say any more. I want to say something new and insightful, something beautiful and deep. I want to riff on an idea, to take it and transform it and expound upon it, want to pounce…
Everending DevBlog 61: Slow and Steady
I have remarkably little to talk about this week. I’ve been putting the hours in, but they’ve all been towards porting existing code into Haxe. At first, I found this task tedious and demoralizing, but as I get deeper into…
