Hello everyone!

This entry turned out to be lengthy and pretty technical. Sorry about that, but last week was spent only on "under the hood" stuff. I did my best to make it interesting though :wink: ! So the agenda is the item system which became really sophisticated, especially compared to the size…

Hi there!

Small update this time. Been working on wrapping up all the remaining core features, but got a bit sidetracked so I'm going to write a little about level editing too besides monsters + I'm trying out yet another video setup.

This video is the most condensed so far, focusing exclusively on…

Hello everyone!

I worked on a lot of stuff since my last post:

• Thought a lot about the content/format of my blog and my freshly started video series, and made some decisions about their future.
  
• Worked on the linux/mac port of KREEP, but still no announcements yet (but not far).
  
• Lot of progress on the …

Hi there!

This entry is the first one for the new game I'm working on called "I am overburdened" and the first one when I publish a video log entry too! I decided to try this format due to the following reasons:

• I'm writing pretty lengthy posts (I know I'm a blabbermouth) and at this day and age man…

Hello everyone!

Even though a lot of indie game developers put together a "year in review" posts by the end of December, I haven't written in a while. Sorry for that, but the last few months of 2016 were a bit busy and chaotic, that is why I wasn't in a mood of writing down my version and why I need…

Hi there!

The last two weeks were full of bad luck (health issues, disapproval from Valve, visit at a local veterinarian all kinds of things :( ), and as a result my productivity approached zero. Actually it did reach it when it comes to Unified Theory my upcoming game, but thankfully I could pull …

Hello everyone.

As I mentioned last time, I decided to do a small update for Operation KREEP and to change the "scenery" a little, last week I took a little more than two days off from the development of Unified Theory and made it happen. Thankfully my estimations were correct and the updated build…

Hi there!

Only a handful of tiny news this time about Magic Item Tech.

 

Now my game development blog and contact information can be reached at: https://magicitemtech.wordpress.com
I've reserved this domain long ago, but forgot about it a little. Now it's set up to forward to my blog and fe…

Hi everyone, long time no see!

It's been a while since my last post (more than two months), and back than I sort of hinted that in a week or two I'll be ready to present the next game I'm working on :lol: ...

Here is what happened:

I've been working on the prototype of this project of mine, coding…

Haven't written in a while about what is up with Operation KREEP or my next game, not even game-tech related posts, and I think it needs a little explanation ( at least me, myself, are in desperate need of some honesty towards myself :().
After I finish my rambling about "life and stuff", there will…

Hi all!

It is time for some software testing framework talk again :)!

As you know, I'm a big quality/testing advocate (especially when it comes to software!!!), and I've been working for a while now, in my "lab", on a high-level testing and automation framework, since I've reached the limits of use…

Hi everyone!

Haven't been around the INTERNETZ lately, sorry for that (been busy with a lot of work and important decisions to make :mellow:).
I promised a postmortem thingy after the Steam release of Operation KREEP, so here it goes!

Before I jump into numbers, I'm going to describe the project a l…

Hello there!

Small update but big announcement this time :)!
Operation KREEP is one years old and it is available on Steam!

Here it is, its Steam store page in its full glory:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/446050/

Technically speaking, it is a tad bit older than one year. I wrote the first draft …

Hi all!

Small update (~announcement) this time. Operation KREEP 1.1 is available:

Now if you buy or re-download the game on one of these store-fronts you get the latest version :wink:.

I made a little teaser too this week for the update:

Still working on releasing it on Steam but based on the t…

Hello everyone!

Yep, I know it is not the first week of March :), but I think a little irony never hurts + it is helpful to make one remember, that "man proposes god disposes"!
The first week of March was the planned finish (maybe even release!) date for the Steam update for Operation KREEP. Albeit …

Hello there!

It looks like I fail to stick to my plans regarding this development blog, and sadly overall to becoming a bit more organized . Instead of listing the well known and common indie dev. distractions which bog me down too I jump onto this months "achievement": the achievement system .

Whe…

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since my last post. Lately I had to focus on a lot of things (KREEP, Steam, paperwork, framework development, day-job, health issues, new cat !!!), and I wound up not being able to actually focus on any of it...
Now I'm trying to catch my breath, doing the best I can …

Hello all!

Small update regarding Operation KREEP. I've started working on the game again. As I've mentioned before, it is number one priority now. When it comes to decision making I'm usually really slooooooooow, but this week I came up with all the must have and all the won't have time for them (…

Hi there!

Woke up on the 28th of December, checked my mailbox and gazed over a mail with the following subject:
Congratulations, Operation KREEP has been Greenlit!
I was shocked, checked the mail in a hurry, than the greenlight page of KREEP, crossing my fingers and hoping, that it is not a joke or a…

Hello all!

Haven't written for a long time, but I've been busy working on my "tech", mostly preparing for my upcoming project. When I started to think through what I would like to write about, I've realized, that it is going to be a rather long one, hence the "part 1" in the title, as I'm planning …
