Motivational indie poster: Marketing
Jan 3rd
Or demotivational? Anyway it’s a poster. A tongue-in-cheek poster but if I have to say so then … well I’ll try to do better next time.
Marketing is like a highway filled with grey cars. There are so many cars and most of them all look the same so it’s really difficult to have someone notice [...]
Failing to pull a game out of an idea
Aug 28th
This is not a post about how the last 10% of a project is the other 90% of development time. This is not a post about how difficult it can be to polish a game up to the point where it can be looked as a professional project. This is not a post about how [...]
Ereptoria devlog – The need for chickens
Jul 26th
I’m a visual type of person and one of these days I’ll have to accept that. No matter how hard I try to plan in ways that don’t involve working on graphics before I nail the main mechanic/feel/experience I can’t help it. The good news is that I’m slowly accepting that I’m just like that [...]
The “I have made a cool engine” problem
Jun 2nd
Meaning I still haven’t created a game with it. Oh I didn’t reinvent the wheel though. What I could take from someplace else I took. I built an engine that can create a top-view stealth games… or something else. I even have a more or less stable map editor so all that’s left to do now is [...]
Take an idea, turn it upside down and fight the blank page
Apr 21st
It’s been 2 months now since I last posted about my “smuggler/stealth game idea”. What did I achieve in these last 2 months? A big mess of almost nothing. Keyword here however is “almost”.
There’s no stealth in space
I’ve been trying to come up with a concept to include stealth in space and just couldn’t find [...]
Money always win… or almost always win…
Sep 25th
I’m going to ask you a question at the end of this post so just hold on and go through my random rambling if you don’t mind.
Today it was announced that Dextrose has been acquired by Zynga, the standout leader in mindless social gaming as it’s said on the website (or something like it). Since [...]
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 [...]
Motivation because we all need it
May 31st
For more than a year now I’ve been staring at this frog on my desktop at work (scroll a bit). Stole it from Juuso here.
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 [...]
