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.

Hey people! I'd like to talk about recent accomplishment towards Smintheus Beta that are worth to be mentioned - Smintheus Beta game trailer! Quite a late bloomer but finally it's out there! Totally worth it.

New major update

April 22, 2018

It took a while to get here but here it is - brand new update for Smintheus Beta. Unlike previous ones this one can be considered as a major update. It's not about bug fixes only but more of new things that were added to aid the gameplay. The course was set on making game more approachable. It has been casualized a bit and made the game somewhat easier as well.

Development continues!

April 11, 2018

Today's a big day. It has been 14 days since I've launched Smintheus Beta on itch.io and today it reached nearly 750 downloads!!! I think it's a good sign, although I wish I could read more comments with criticism or some kind of feedback. I'll just assume the game is super awesome and there is nothing to rant about :D

Nevertheless, I'm fully motivated and ready to dive into my last game development crunch.

Before I do that, I'd like to present a new fresh patch. I think it will be the last one here because the game is quite stable now, but who knows...

First devlog post with first game update!

March 31, 2018

This first post will the copy of devlog entry from Smintheus game page in Itch.io, which was also first post there. Anyway...

I didn't came empty handed. There is a gift in a form of a new patch that was brought alongside with this post. So what's in it? Fixed couple of minor bugs and improved levels little bit by eliminating few logical errors.
