Today the latest version of SeaCrypt goes live. This update adds elemental weapons and dungeons as described in the previous post, Summoning the elements. In addition to this, difficulty has been decreased a bit by making finding allies, weapons, and enemies more common. A lot of bugs have been fixed as well. Screenshots with the
As noted in the app description in all stores, the next version of SeaCrypt will implement elements on equipment, dungeons and enemies to spice up exploration. I will explain it in detail here. Four elements are added into the game: Water, Fire, Wind and Earth. The fifth being Neutral, already implemented but with no effect
Today’s post on the spaceship game (which already has a name but I’m keeping it under wraps for now) is on porting. After numerous run-ins with HaxeFlixel, I decided to port the game to Cocos2d-HTML5 (aka Cocos2d-JS). I’m unconvinced by the state of JS game engines for the web, but if I want the spaceship

Hey guys! Today’s update to the spaceship game comes with a very requested feature by the game testers: Destructible asteroids. Most of the guys who tested the game insisted that being able to break asteroids into tiny pieces would feel rewarding: And indeed it is! Of course, doing so is no easy task and only
The spaceship game is coming along nicely: today I implemented different enemy AIs. As of now, baddies will take a shot at you every now and then. They will sometimes aim for you and sometimes just fire forward. Most of the time, they won’t pose much of a threat, but in big amounts they can
The shop of the spaceship game (no longer a prototype as of now!) has received a small facelift: The status bars that indicate how much of each stat you have are now functional. The background also had some stars added to it, so as to make it prettier. Here is the preview: Math time! The
Super important post today: the progress mechanic is ready. I’ve been adding a lot of logic to the spaceship prototype so that players can feel what it’s like to advance and test different weapon configurations. Right now, the prototype is set the following way: every two waves the difficulty is kicked up a notch, spawning
