Fun fact: Golemizer has a higher ranking than Runescape on Kongregate
Jun 24th
Right now Golemizer has a ranking of 3.51 and Runescape a ranking of 3.23. Well ok it’s not much to brag about and you must take with a grain of salt such rankings … I’m still bragging about it though as one small bit I learned in the past 3 years is that if you [...]
A nice surprise from Kongregate!
Jun 23rd
Nice surprise today … I was adding some new skins for houses in Golemizer as it was a long overdue promise and then I noticed something odd when I logged in the game … “There were 519 players online in the last 24 hours.”
What?!
I reached this number twice … When Golemizer was featured on Rock, [...]
Why Golemizer is now the next best thing since sliced bread
Jun 20th
It’s the Bone Collector on tv. I don’t care if you think that Angelina Jolie is overrated or underrated I just like her. And me liking her is a very good thing tonight. What’s best? Me knowing that Golemizer is amazing.
How do you get 5,000 rabbits in a 20×10 zone? Golemizer can. How do you [...]
Short indie game post: Dogfighter
Jun 18th
My Cyborg EVO was gathering dust for way too long so when I heard about Dogfighter I just couldn’t resist. Ever since I finally stopped played X-wing VS Tie Fighter many years ago I’ve been looking for something to replace it. The space expansion in SWG was kinda nice (the reason I bought the Cyborg [...]
I’m not quitting my job yet but I made a first move
Jun 17th
Why do things simply when you can make it much more complicated
I talked to my boss today and told him something like “I’m not quitting yet but I’m not staying either”. Strangely or not he understood what I meant.
Even though I don’t quite like my current day job I must say I have [...]
Demo of a RTS style spaceship in JavaScript
Jun 16th
I don’t have something as fancy as the new Aves Engine demo to show but it’s still a nice proof of concept I’m happy to have been able to come up with. Before coming up with the idea of Blimp Wars I played with some concepts and one of them was an MMORTS that I’d [...]
Indie game: Guns of Icarus
Jun 12th
Well again tonight I had a little rage of playing some game and found nothing interesting on my hard drive so I opened Steam to see how I could spend some money.
That’s when I found Guns of Icarus. Watched the trailer, read the description, saw the price ($10) … Paypal checkout it’s done. It’s only [...]
Gone are the ads on www.golemizer.com
Jun 5th
For some time I was receiving comments about the ads appearing on the front website of Golemizer. Comments that it was giving a bad impression of the game and that it might drive players away from the game because of course the ads were about other games. There was also a thread about this subject [...]
Knowing yourself as an indie game dev
Jun 3rd
As you might know I’m now following an indie game dev who recently quit his job to become a full-time indie. In the last entry of his blog he points that it might not be a bad idea to have a clue about what you’re planning to do exactly. What’s the point of doing what [...]
One button game Run Doc Run! V2
Jun 1st
The new version is available here: http://www.over00.com/rundocrun/v2/
Remember to press W to activate jetpack and refresh the page to start over. The game now seems to work in IE but is terribly slow so I suggest using Firefox or Chrome for now. I’ll take a look at IE’s issues later if I feel like it’s worth [...]
