The announcement trailer for Puzzledorf has just hit a new milestone today – over 50,000 views! Wow! I am so excited! Given that this game has taken so much time and energy to develop, not to mention going back to study to gain extra skills in programming and business, to put all of that time…
My upcoming game, Puzzledorf, has been a side project of mine for several years. It has existed in one form or another while I have studied Games Programming and Business at AIE, the Academy of Interactive Entertainment. AIE are a college that specialises in educating people in games and visual effects for movies. They have done a fantastic job of…
The Steam Page for Puzzledorf is now live for those who would like to wishlist. It’s been a long journey getting to this point, and a long-time dream of mine to have a commercial game available on PC and Steam. Long before Steam ever existed I remember making small games…
There it is – the trailer is here! It has been really interesting learning about what goes into making a good Steam trailer – and it’s even harder for a game with no story. Generally there’s a few rules of thumbs I picked up…
It’s been a while coming but the release of Puzzledorf is finally approaching. After unexpected delays with coronavirus, game development taking longer than expected, etc, we are finally here. I want to talk a little bit about the game and it’s design, as well as release news. The game is currently in the final stages…
This year has been one heck of a year. In fact the last three years. I’ve disappeared into the world of study, doing study in programming and then post-graduate studies in business. Now that time is about to end. This means I will have the time to be a lot more active on this blog.…
I’ve given hints of a new puzzle gaming coming. Now it’s time to announce that game in full. Puzzledorf. Puzzledorf has been in development for a couple of months now. I’m hoping it will be ready for release in 2019. As I am a solo developer and caught between work and post-grad study in business,…
As part of my games programming course that I am studying, we developed a proto-type 3D graphics engine in C++ using OpenGL. The excercise involved setting up all of the 3D rendering manually so that obj models and fbx models could be loaded in, setting up shaders, programming lighting with mathematical equations, experimenting with GUI…
Christmas is just around the corner! With only a few days left, I got excited and decided I to make a quick Christmas themed puzzle game. I made it in roughly 3 days to finish it before Christmas, so really it’s a mini-game. I hope you enjoy it. Have a very Merry Christmas! Play it here.
I’ve just put out a new Puzzle Script game called Block Puller. The aim of the game is to pull the orange blocks on the the orange cross. Other elements such as grey blocks and uniquely shaped stages will make this task more difficult as you progress. You can play it on Newgrounds here.
