Space Holidays 2018: Interstellar Discovery

December 25, 2018

Merry Christmas everyone! I wrote a new spacesynth track specially dedicated to the new volume of album series called “Space Holidays” by Space Sound Records label. I’ll dwell on this topic little bit, talk about how the tune was created and, of course, end the story with few words about my current game development situation.

The Great Underground Level Design

September 19, 2018

Ssup people! In this post I will cover game development span that took place in July, August and first half of September. The main focus lies on level design, particularly great underground levels at the moment. I'll discuss other moments such as bug fixes, new features, improvements over old stuff as well as mention a walkthrough video made by one awesome person. All that, of course, is full of fancy pictures :p

Vacation, Localization and GIFs

July 3, 2018

June was quite relaxing and somewhat unproductive. After events of previous post I was pretty exhausted. The beginning of summer brought immense chunk of heat which made any attempts to do work even more harder so I decided to take a break from gamedev for good. Although, some side work still had its place during recent moments and that’s what I’m going to talk about today.

Migrating to SDL2

May 30, 2018

Hello everyone. It’s been nearly a month since my last post. I had material for at least two entries but hesitated to post them because I was in a middle of very intensive game development process. This time I went far beyond simple optimization and decided to completely change multimedia library for performance reasons. I’m happy to inform that it was pretty successful move despite the numerous obstacles encountered on its way.
