3 Updates and 3 Mac ports.

This must be the biggest update I’ve ever done, so let’s get started.

I’ve taken my 3 games from 2008, Zektor, Space Fury & Dingo and updated the Windows versions. The two primary reasons for updating them was to remove the competition splashscreen and to fix the problematic sound on certain systems, where the sound would be delayed by a second or so. But I’ve also made other changes: They will now check for updates when the score is synced, and inform you if there’s any newer versions available. I’ve also replaced the odd sound here and there. All in all – lots of changes.

However, the even bigger news is that I’ve finally ported something to Mac OSX, and these 3 games are now available for OSX too. I’d like to port Omega Race 2009 and Star Castle too (and perhaps more of my games), but it probably depends on the numbers of downloads and what feedback I get from this.

The links for downloading the games are on their respective pages.

Star Castle: Remake of the Month

A few days ago I recieved the latest issue of Retro Gamer Magazine and imagine my surprise when I turned to page 102 and saw that my version of Star Castle had been nominated ‘Remake of the Month’. Cool, that’s the second time. Well, not the second time for Star Castle obviously – last time was Omega Race 2009. 🙂

Remake of the Month

New game completed: Star Castle

I mentioned before Christmas that I would have a new game ready before the end of the year, and here it is – a remake of that old Cinematronics vector graphics classic ‘Star Castle‘.

I originally started this game right after Christmas 2009 and worked on it for about 3 weeks before I got distracted by something else, so the game has been on hold for 11 months, but I thought that now was the time to finally finish it.

I hope you like the finished game…I’m sure you will if you like glowy shooters. 🙂

Please leave some feedback or send me a mail if you like it, or if there’s things you feel could be improved.

Finished: The Night Before Christmas

Just three days later than I’d hoped for (but at least still before Christmas ;)) I’m happy to present my latest game called ‘The Night Before Christmas‘.

It’s not a remake but instead an original game inspired by several retrogames – especially  ‘Elevator Action‘…although it plays quite differently. It’s what I call ‘a quickie’ so development has only taken a little under a month, but it’s really festive and I hope you will find it fun to play. It starts pretty easy, but soon becomes very frantic.
