Progress on current project.
Yes. Funny how things happen sometimes. I mentioned a while back that “my next game would be Black Widow” and then I suddenly had the idea for the Invaders game. That was actually just supposed to be a small game and should’ve been finished by now, but…
The game was almost done…but there was something missing – it’s was too…simple.
So a couple of betatesters were drafted and asked for feedback and boy – did I get a lot.
So the game has changed quite a lot now. Visually it’s still pretty much the same, but I work on it almost every day and it’s getting better and better. It now has custom waveformations, introduction levels, challenges and things like that, so it’s worth the extra development time as it’s becoming a better game…and that’s really what it’s all about.
Here’s a newer picture. It’s a couple of weeks old, but it looks better than the previous picture. 
Lots of things flying around in this picture. Note: the yellow triangles are no longer yellow triangles, but spiffy shield-looking powerups.
Another WIP: Space Invaders…sorta.
After a short while away on vacation I noticed a Google search for ‘space invaders game tardis shooting‘ so I guess someone has tried searching for a game I’m working on, but not yet posted about here (although I have posted on Retro Remakes about it).
I haven’t decided on a final name yet, so I’m temporarily calling it ‘Tempestuous Spherical Invaders‘, but that will most likely change.
This is what I call ‘a quickie’. I started it a few weeks ago because it seemed like it would be a fun little project, and I’m keeping it a small project so I don’t expect it to take more than a few weeks before it’s finished (but I know I keep saying that about every game I’m working on 
).
It’s basically Space Invaders – but played on a sphere. You move your base around the Earth and shoot at the approaching Invaders. To make it a bit more fun I’m adding a bunch of power-ups like different cannons, beam-weapons, shields and stuff like that, but I’m keeping this project small so I can get back to Black Widow again.

Meanwhile, here’s a few pictures to look at;
Also shown - the readout showing you how much longer you have your powerup.
Another day, another game: The Snowman
What better way to celebrate Christmas than by making a Christmas game for you, right?
So, I’ve decided to make a small game for Christmas and I’ve decided on a remake of ‘The Snowman‘ which was originally released by Quicksilva in 1983.
All the graphics are done and so are most of the code.
The game should be finished in a couple of weeks – just before Christmas.
