Ventures of an ex indie game developer

Last game of the year

I made the Fire Power prototype to ship with Trabant. It came out pretty good with driving, shooting and auto aiming. As a testament to the fantastic API, I can mention that I had to add a single line of code to add a "soft joystick" for touch controls. Yep. One single line.

It looks awful. I'm thinking perhaps adding a noise texture could make things less bad both here and in the Minecraft prototype and perhaps some of the others. This is the last prototype I'm making before shipping.


I bought the new Cities: Skylines by Finnish developer Colossal Order. It behaves like the good ol' Sim City, and with same shortage of cash. There are a bunch of bugs, for instance I had to fight crash bugs in the default settings, but if you get over those it's very impressive. When it comes to gamedevs I prefer companies who ship fantastic things not quite finished yet, rather than companies that try to polish their turds and hardly get them out the door.
