On September 14th Golemizer will be 2 years old. I was wondering which way I could highlight this anniversary so here’s a look at how it did on the financial level. I won’t go into much details about the why it did good or bad as I’ve already touched these on my blog (and still [...]

I keep getting requests from players that would like to become GMs. The problem is that most of them just don’t understand what becoming a GM for Golemizer is about.
Sure you get access to the mute and ban commands but those are just boring tools. I have never given a GM account based only on [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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.

As stupid as it might sound having this in my face all day long kinda helped. Each time I felt like this job of mine was about to get away with [...]

I just finished reading The Icelandic Model of MMO development on Gamasutra about EVE Online and I can say that you can probably take the whole article and apply it to Golemizer. Well not the part about the “subscriber curve” and the “bare $2.6 million in funding” but everything else fit quite well.
When I decided [...]

The release of Dungeon of Loot brought some questions from players in Golemizer. Why am I spending so much time on other game projects and why I haven’t really been around Golemizer for quite some time. I decided to come clean about it and be honest about the situation here and here.
That’s surely not the [...]

I have this disease that probably a lot of enthusiastic game developers also have, the “just 1 more feature”. At first it isn’t that bad and you’re even enjoying it but when you’re not careful about it and let it spread it can really get nasty.
I have the luxury of not having to wait for [...]

Right from the start it was clear, I wanted Golemizer to be a family friendly game.
No swearing, no racism, no sexual innuendo, no religion, no politic, … Anything that can sparks trouble. Of course eliminating the previous list doesn’t mean there won’t be any trouble but it’s a good start and it’s easy to comply [...]
