Saw Northern Doom purveyors Paradise Lost last night in Wolverhampton - brilliant show, they are always a class act.

Getting much closer to game#2 completion now - it's basically done (bar a couple bugs) and undergoing polish, balancing and then I need to finish the translation and Steam integration.

Still hoping to have it done this year .... let's see!

Finally got to see one of the finest of Canadian exports - 3 Inches Of Blood at the Asylum, Birmingham. Great show, super tight playing. Hope they come around to the UK again.

Compu-Tron x3000: an alternate history and a narrative mystery.

Explore Compu-Tron x3000 and see if you can uncover what happened to C. Tech Industries. Where did they go? Why did they disappear? And who is D.A.V.E.?

It's been a while since progress on game #2 (stupid COVID has left me weaker to every subsequent germ that comes along) .... now implemented Power Swords and a burning damage effect over time!

Took me a while but I'm happy with the result so far.

Fixes since the last update:
- Fixed the mass destruction bug
- Projectile cooldown reduction issue
- Applying enemy buffs from save files
- Enemy health bars on spawning

See the glorious destruction pics! (They don't give away much about game2)

Since the last update:
- Squished 5 bugs
- Updates to enemy buffs notifications
- Player damage floating text added
- Player projectiles completed - the animation took me a while (I am NOT an artist)

I never had chance to see Pantera when I was younger - finally got to see the remaining band members plus Zak and Charlie perform at Birmingham this weekend. What a show! Next on my list .... Iron Maiden in June.

Huzzah, all tests passed and bugs fixed (well, bugs as a result of tests anyway!). The new upgrade UI and Stats/Saves Managers are working. Time for a cup of tea!

More progress on the re-designed upgrade/progression system and UI. All changes are complete and initial bugs fixed. Currently testing all scenarios for upgrades and save/load states.

Back to game number 2 after a break .... the complete re-design of the Stats/Upgrade system and player/enemy buffs is taking a little while but getting there! Still a bunch of systems to create before moving onto more content.

My first step into game dev was a Quest Text Adventure - although very limited in what could be created, using this tool gave me the silly idea that I could create games. Give it a whirl here if you like:

UI prototyping in progress on game2 ... I find this pretty tedious but it needs to be done. Just getting everything aligned so that it is workable (and testable) initially takes me ages!

Cleaned up the spaghetti code mess I made and separated responsibilities between Stats/Saves and Game Managers. This will help me to improve the skill tree and upgrades system on Game 2! (I hope)

Next up:
