After almost 4 years Golemizer will shut down for good on June 8th
Jun 4th
I’m very sad to announce this but now there’s nothing that can stop it. For the first time this weekend I had some regrets about not shutting down Golemizer last year when I lost my job. I looked at my budget available to work on my current project and then looked at the money I [...]
Star Corsairs and Golemizer back online
Dec 30th
After a really bad MySQL crash most of my stuff (including this blog) went down for several days. Everything crashed just before I had to leave town so this is why everything has been down for so long.
The good news
Everything is back online. The data of Star Corsairs is back to what it was when [...]
3 years of Golemizer and 3 months of Star Corsairs
Sep 16th
I just received an email from the great Doctor Alienus (an amazing GM in Golemizer who’s been there since launch day) and I feel like time is passing by so fast. Yep! Golemizer is now 3 years old! That feels a bit surreal when I think about it. This was my first game and while [...]
An update on what’s happening with Golemizer
May 21st
With Social Gold gone for good at the end of the month I had to shut down the Altus store for non-Kongregate players to prevent players from spending money on the system at the last-minute.
So what will happen to Golemizer? Well for now I can probably make everyone feel better for at least a few [...]
Thanks for ruining my day Social Gold
Mar 1st
Well I guess I can’t really blame anyone here but I’m still pissed … It was just announced that the current version of Social Gold would be discontinued in May to be replaced by the new Google in-app payments. Of course Golemizer is using Social Gold …
Like I said I won’t blame people at Social [...]
Golemizer 2.0 … Combat
Dec 12th
Combat in Golemizer can hardly impress anyone … A third of new players are quitting exactly when they get to the tutorial quest about combat (I’ll post later about the new player experience). Sure Golemizer is about crafting but let’s not forget that it’s also about crafting monsters …
There’s little excitement to have from typing [...]
Golemizer 2.0 … Graphics
Dec 11th
I’ve stumbled upon this game and immediately thought that Golemizer 2.0 should have this look (go through all menus and intro until you get to the actual game). I like the clean lines, the easy-going of it and the fact that you can actually see properly the character and details in the environment.
The Guardian 2: [...]
Golemizer 2.0 … Crafting
Dec 10th
I had fun with the last post so let’s continue! One day these ideas might actually be part of Golemizer 2 so consider this as a teaser with no ETA. If you are an investor … my mail is dave@machine22.com I developed the first version of Golemizer with almost no money so we’re [...]
Golemizer v2.0 … What I would do differently
Dec 2nd
Ok I get it that some of you are tired of my pessimism. To my defense just realize that if I was throwing away all my efforts done in the last 3-4 years that I wouldn’t care to post on this blog anymore. I’d be busy kicking some ass on Quake Live instead while searching [...]
Game development: Don’t try to learn too much
Sep 19th
The funny thing about this post is that I’m telling you right away to not listen to anything I’m about to tell you. In fact you should not even listen to me telling you to not listen to what I’ll tell you. Repeat until your brain explodes.
I finally took some time to play the huge [...]
