Hi, just a quick update! I imported some of my favorite posts from my old Wordpress blog Bitksel, since I wanted to archive them here. The images wont show up correctly, however you can highlight the image link and open it in new tab to...
I upgraded my PC with Ryzen 5 3600, which also meant I needed a new motherboard. I bought myself a small update package with CPU, RAM and the mobo, plus an M.2 drive. So far I've been enjoying my beefier PC! My old CPU was i7-4770k,...
I just wanted to quickly recap how I got collisions working in Raylib with firstperson camera and the level itself. It took me some time to realise how to get it work but with the help of Raylib discord, I managed to do it! Just a note:...
I’ve tried many, many creative outlets and other hobbies. I’ve tried writing, drawing, painting, playing guitar, playing piano and some more. I’ve tried many hobbies among gaming, such as football (not handegg) and airsoft (which I...
When setting up my ScifiFPS C/Raylib project, I was having lots of problems with Makefiles. Apparently this is not uncommon, however I'm pretty new in C and makefiles in the first place, and setting it all up with VSCode was also a bit...
Man this took long time to set up. I first tried to get Jekyll set up on my own server, but I couldn't get it to work. I also tried Hugo and all kinds of other website platforms. Setting up servers really ain't for me, but oh well....
This is how it went, or at least how I remember it. It was so hectic this may be out of order but anyway! One Hour Game Jam is a gamejam where everyone has to make a game, you guessed it, in one hour. The theme for the jam I joined was...
More space games! This time I'm writing about a very simple yet addicting spaceship game called ASTROX: Hostile Space Excavation. I really enjoyed this game and it's getting a sequel soon! ASTROX is a space simulation game where you can...
Sorry for the month of silence, I didn't have much time/energy to write anything here. But now, I wanna tell you guys about a space sim that I really like! I'm playing the Albion Prelude expansion in these screenshots, but TC and AP are...
Happy new year 2018 folks! I decided the first blog post for this year would be about STRAFE, which is an old-school styled FPS. Fast, fun and gorey, just how I like my FPS games. First of all, STRAFE had a bit rough start. People were...
I finally finished Pillars of Eternity and it's White March expansions, and yes, it got it's deserved place on my "favorite games" list! It's very hard for me to even start to explain how much I like it, but I'll try. I also keep this a...
I wanted to write this quick summary of how my Crypt of Darne game project went, now that I've collected data long enough. Without further ado, let's begin! You enter the Crypt of Darne and you're looking for a specific gem. Will you...
Yesterday I finished INFRA, a game about urban exploration. I'll start this bluntly: INFRA got on my "favorite games of all time" -list. It's just that good. Here are my thoughts about it and I'm sorry that they're spread a bit...
Yesterday, after 13 hours of play, I finished Tyranny. I bought the game only couple a days ago and I just couldn't stop playing it, so I finished it rather quickly. Here's some of my thoughts about it. Tyranny is remarkably similar to...
This is another post from my old devlog I'm transfering here. I really liked this post so I thought I'll keep it. This happened before I started to make that roguelike, but I feel like I should talk about this, I think it’s important for...
