Congratulations to Jay Barnson, who won the Game-In-A-Year thing at Dream Games for his development of Frayed Knights. I’ve been following Frayed since it was announced and I’m glad to see the project has gone so well.
(I’m a victim of his ongoing development process, though. I keep meaning to check it out, but then he mentions some improvement or change he has in mind and I’ll decide to hold off until it’s in. Because really – you can only play it for the first time once.)
Congrats Jay.
Another PC Golden Age?
Is it real? Is PC gaming returning to its former glory? Sort of. It's complicated.
Wolfenstein II
This is a massive step down in story, gameplay, and art design when compared to the 2014 soft reboot. Yet critics rated this one much higher. What's going on here?
Rage 2
The game was a dud, and I'm convinced a big part of that is due to the way the game leaned into its story. Its terrible, cringe-inducing story.
Good Robot Dev Blog
An ongoing series where I work on making a 2D action game from scratch.
What is Piracy?
It seems like a simple question, but it turns out everyone has a different idea of right and wrong in the digital world.
That looks like big fun. I’m going to HAVE to give that a shot!
Needs polish. Lots of polish. It was good clean fun, though, and nice to see it bust up some RPG tropes with a hammer.
Thanks for the tip.
Thanks, Shamus.
Yeah, what’s currently available hasn’t been updated since April – it was what I completed within one year. My official submission for the indie game contest. It’s got plenty of problems, but I’m pretty proud of what I was able to accomplish within the deadline.
The full version is going to be bigger & cooler… but it’ll be a while. I’ve been using the feedback from the game (over 700 feedback forms have been received so far, though about 1/10th of them were were “content free”) as a guide to prioritizing changes.
But I’m back to the fun part of development right now – the more creative part, instead of the frantic bug-fixing part. It’s nice…

I was going to make the obvious joke, but Coyote made it months ago.
Edit: Finally got the right blasted link. Serves me right for posting tired.
