It’s been a long time since my last update. When you get out of a rythm it’s hard to get into it I’ve noticed; not that I was updating frequently before that really. A few things have happened since last time: my company is now registered (though haven’t registered a name yet), I was part of Castle Game Jam and worked on Dave’s Theory Of Gravity...

The first few weeks after the last post I was busy figuring out the ins and outs of tax law and all that jazz with having a company. It was actually pretty interesting but probably not fun enough to go over here. Last week though has been a bit different. As I’m going forward to make A Maze Boss into a full game I’ve been thinking of ways to imp...

Last you heard from me I put out a release for the 10 week prototype. A pretty big thing has happened since; I’ve become a substitute teacher! I got contacted a bit unexpectedly from Tobias Solem, a teacher at IT-Gymnasiet (equivalent to upper secondary school in the US), who’d become ill and needed some one to take over two classes a week for a...

And so it has come to an end. The 10 weeks me and Oskar had to create a prototype of a game has come and gone. But we did manage to create something, a game that was much more feature-complete than we initially thought possible. We really crammed the last stuff in before calling it done, though the plan was to release on sunday a couple bugs and...

Click here to try out the latest version I mentioned in the last post that I created an editor to make it easier for me and Oscar to build levels for the game. Well, today I’m releasing a build that allows you to play around with it! It’s still a bit rough but it works. Just select Editor from the currently very basic main menu and you’re good...

Working alone does take its toll, it can be somewhat demotivating to chug away at the project without much discussion or interaction with other people. So at the end of the last year I was given the opportunity to take in an intern for 10 weeks. More specifically Oskar Engholm, who’s studying technical illustrator (teknikillustratör) in Arvika. ...

Fancy 3D-viewer, click/tap to load model (~10mb so give it a moment) So it’s been a while since the last post and even longer since I wrote about what I’ve been working on. So I thought I’d go into some detail on one of the things I’ve been focused on since then. As you might have seen in previous posts I’ve been doing a little bit of model...

Is reboxing a word? It should be. While I was buying the previously mentioned USB game pad I also stumbled upon a small but terribly ugly USB hub. It was cheap so I got the idea to simply make a new case out of wood. Should be simple enough. The original ugly USB hub I gutted the case and pulled out the PCB. The idea I had in my head for...
