Space Grunts 2 DEVLOG #4 – Interface and mouse controls

July 25, 2019

The major focus this week was on some reprogramming of the monster AI, by adding signal-maps to the game, allowing fun toys like signal-bombs to distract or lure aliens. I’ve also plugged in some funky A*-pathfinding mouse-controls and made sure that bomb-explosions now also cause walls to be destroyed.

All in all, a week with small but important changes to Space Grunts 2. Check out the video, and read the tech-blog by clicking! READ MORE

Gunslugs 3: Rogue Tactics

November 22, 2017

Gunslugs 3: Rogue Tactics is the title for my next game, or at least the working-title. The original Gunslugs (close to 4 years old?!) was my first attempt at adding some procedural and rogue-like elements to a platform run-and-gun game, and I did a bunch of things right, and … READ MORE →

Squeezing out the final polish on Meganoid

Video

  February 24, 2017 ,

I’ve been hard at work on polishing the gameplay. There are now proper level-templates used for every world, so there is a real sense of progress and a real variation between the different area’s in the game.

Seeing as next week March starts, and my target date was March, it will be a few weeks of cleaning up and adding the final things (and with final things I mostly mean the end-boss, as it’s the only missing feature at this time).

I’m waiting for the high-res art to come in for Meganoid, and I’ll have to do a trailer and then setup all the store pages (ios,android,steam) with banners and such and start adding achievements and leaderboards to the game.

In theory that’s all do-able in a single week, but I don’t plan on rushing this one out. Also GDC starts next week, Nintendo is relasing it’s Switch console, so a lot of stuff happening already in the world of games. So for now, I’ll target final week of March for the release.

I might squeeze in a pre-order discount thingie before that, so make sure to sign-up to the newsletter and not miss out on that!

All games should be roguelike-likes-lite-games!

February 17, 2017

This week I added a few of the bonus-area’s. These area’s usually require you to find a specific item, and use it at the right spot. It won’t be easy, and you won’t bump into this on every play-through, but that’s the cool thing about it! READ MORE
