Bret Airborne, 1 month later – Stats and thoughts
May 19th
I won’t call this a postmortem as really I feel it’s a bit too early to use this word. Let’s say that it’s just a picture I’m taking a bit more than a month after the release of Bret Airborne. I’m not even sure I’ll one say write a proper “postmortem” with the typical “what [...]
How important is the gaming press for indies really?
Apr 20th
Before you read that I suggest you take a look at this post from Ryan Henson Creighton about the marketing push for Spellirium. I always find it fascinating when indies share some stats as it helps a bit to paint a more accurate picture of what it really means to be indie.
So you’re back? So [...]
Looking for the graphic artist in me – Next game planning
Apr 19th
I spent the whole day working on some stuff to see how far I am from my next game on the graphics level. I won’t waste your time and show you what I got right away. If you’d be kind enough to let me know what you think that’d be appreciated.

Thoughts on the choices I made: Day job VS indie
Apr 17th
For over a year I’m working 4 days a week for my day job with every Fridays free to work on my games. It’s a choice I made after being unemployed for about 6 months and sleeping about 4-5 hours a night before that while I was working on MMOs.
You don’t clearly know what’s coming [...]
My journey from working on MMOs to releasing a match-3 game
Apr 12th
Yeah I know. *yucchh* match-3 games … I believe in some countries people must exile themselves after building such game.
Don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t a fan of match-3 games either. I never understood why so many people got excited about sliding gems around just for the sake of sliding some more gems around. I’m not one [...]

This new update finally introduces the notion of story in Bret Airborne. Why are you fighting balloons? Why are you building towers? Well those questions are starting to be answered. Still a work in progress but now it’s more than just shooting [...]
The guide to indie game dev success
Feb 24th
This is the post I’ll make once I know success. Well I’m writing it now so I’m a bit ahead of time here but it doesn’t matter. I’m pretty sure it’s the post I’ll write anyway.
What is success? Let’s define it as “being able to pay for whatever expense you might have”. Nothing too fancy, [...]
Bret Airborne alpha update v0.0.5
Feb 22nd
Get your alpha copy or try the demo on http://www.machine22.com/bretairborne/
Finally you get to see what will be the campaign or story mode or the non-instant duel mode or whatever you like to call it. I’m not set on a final name yet as I’m thinking on adding more modes so just calling it “campaign” might [...]
