Here’s 10 things I’ve learned, knew or wish someone else would have told me before starting to work on Golemizer.

Behind the scene of Blimp Wars
Jan 25th
The release of Blimp Wars wasn’t as successful as what I was hoping for and I received very few answers from all the people I contacted (more on that later).
One person that answered me was Richard Hill-Whittall from indievision.org. He thought my little story was interesting so here it is, behind the scene of Blimp [...]
Don’t try to reach me this Tuesday
Jan 23rd
This tuesday is my wife’s birthday … But it’s also the day Mass Effect 2 is released.
I finished Mass Effect 1 recently as a real bad ass pain in the ass Shephard and I must say I haven’t been excited about a game for … well never.
I already said how I’m a lazy gamer and [...]

3 days of work and 7 days later : Success?

The game took me 3 days to build as I was learning from the Shootorial on Kongregate. I submitted the game to Kongregate of course, NewGrounds, to Mochi Media and to [...]
Wrex is dead
Jan 17th
That’s not my dog. I’m talking about Mass Effect here (my dog’s name is Ti-Gus, which means something like “small guy” in english, it’s actually the name of french-canadian humoristic character that I have never seen of my life, it just sounds cute and funny)
He was annoying, I barely used him and I’m [...]
The anxiety of the first hours
Jan 14th
If you released a game and are a bit like me the first few hours after release you are in “panic mode”. “Oh I should have done that”, “What if people don’t like it”, “This is the end of the world!!!!”.

Avatar (the movie) and games
Jan 10th
Saw Avatar last night and was impressed. First thing I noticed is that 3D is not “in your face, ah! you thought it was coming at you”. I’m not a movie critic so go see it yourself and make your own opinion.
But do make an opinion. Don’t just take one of the pre-built opinion and [...]
