Racket Roguelike — Going on hiatus
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been almost two months since I first started this series. In that time, it’s grown and changed rather a lot. Continue reading
Ludum Dare 26 — VTanks — Results
The voting period for Ludum Dare 26 has ended, which means that now we have some results! Before I post my own, take a moment to check out the overall leaders. Given that there were 2346 games submitted (1610 in the compo and 736 in the jam), there are bound to be some real gems in there. Continue reading
Star Trek Into Darkness
A few years ago, I decided that I was doing myself a disservice as a self-identified geek1: of Star Trek, I’d only seen Voyager and a few of the movies. Of course I had to remedy that fact.
