Once again, progress is kind of slow due to my day job, but fortunately I am still getting some pretty significant things accomplished. Here's a quick rundown:
Snowball Saves Christmas has returned to Google Play and is now also available on the Amazon App Store!
Currently working on the Detective Butler DLC. I recovered a bunch of old documents and photos from way back in 2013 and that gives me a lot of material for new content. I will probably make a ...
Currently, we have gotten the level editor to a point where it is being used to make levels, and our intent is to make some sort of playable prototype of Witch Doctor Kaneko. Hopefully, we can release something soon (within the next month or so).
Earlier this month, I finally started uploading video tutorials. If you want to learn how to code, check out Kinjo Codes on YouTube. I might even try other video content eventually, once I get better. My intent right now is to just get stuff ...
During the month of August, we worked mainly on improving and finishing Witch Doctor Kaneko's level editor. We added buttons to place doors and ladders, and can switch between different grids and tilesets for a variety of sprites and placements.
We also fixed some memory leaks and learned how to optimize SDL's textures for minimal memory consumption. While our previous build in Unity required nearly 250 MB of RAM, our custom C++ engine now only requires a little less than 50 MB! That ...
Well, it's been way too long without a blog post, so first I'll have to apologize for that. But the good news is that we have a lot of progress to share, and things are definitely heading in the right direction! A lot of things have happened so far in 2019, so let's get started talking about them!
Only about one month after the previous blog post was published, I accepted a full-time programming job. It's been difficult (impossible) trying ...
Usually at the end of every year we do a reflection post to think about what we have accomplished and where we are going. But unfortunately, I never got around to it (sorry!), so you'll have to settle for a somewhat late post. We've got a lot to cover, so let's dive into it!
For most of 2018 we worked on the game Snowball Saves Summer. Initially I didn't really want to ...
It's been a while since the last blog post, but that doesn't mean we've been sitting around doing nothing. We've actually been posting weekly updates on our Patreon and daily updates on our Twitch channel. So check those out if you want some more frequent news... or just stick around here and wait for the important stuff!
As you might have guessed from the title, Snowball Saves Summer is released! We worked all summer on that game (a little bit of Spring and almost ...
So unfortunately, we didn't have any big updates during April. But we did update our Patreon feed every week, so if you want to read what we do on a weekly basis, feel free to pledge any amount and you will immediately be able to read them.
This announcement will be a long one, because there are a lot of things I want to cover in this post. So brace yourself, and let's dig in!
As ...
Just a short post for today.
As the writing and gameplay elements for Detective Butler 2 are being finalized, we also need to secure funds to commission the remaining art and music assets. So, we're going to release a short project on Steam: the sequel to Snowball Saves Christmas. We plan to release it as quickly as we can without rushing it, so it will likely be during summer.
We're also going to be livestreaming its development, so be sure to tune in to ou ...
