This week, I look at the final thing that makes every peon unique – traits. I’ve discussed how the peon stats work and also gone into details about how memories work. Traits are unique characteristics of a peon, that can change their stats as well as tweaking the AI brain the peon has. Traits come
Continuing from last weeks blog post, this week I’ll talk more about another aspect of the peons – their memories. The peons arrive in Fringe Planet with no memory of who they were from their time on Earth. They will have vague recollections of things that have happened in their past – but it will
Every peon is unique. With the number of permutations there are most likely trillions of different peons that you may encounter while playing Fringe Planet.

A bit of a different blog post today – with all the events going on in the world currently, I thought I’d share my experiences with remote working/working from home. I’ve been working from home for about 15 years or so. It’s something I’ve been very lucky with – I’ve worked with a lot of

This week has been all about getting back into the swing of things – continuing full time development on Fringe Planet. A holiday is always a wonderful thing (and great for recharging the batteries) – but the work still needs to be done. Doubly so, when you are a solo developer. The big push this
A brand new year has arrived – an exciting year with a lot of very awesome things planned. I’m still on holiday at the moment (lots of time being spent with family and friends catching up) – but development on Fringe Planet will re-start full time again next Tuesday. It’s been awesome getting such a
On the last day of Christmas my true love gave to me … 12 mining machines 11 fires burning 10 various voxels 9 bookcases for reading 8 chests of storage 7 attributes growing 6 EyeBirds flapping 5 gooooooold voxels 4 stills a’ fermenting 3 stress responses 2 Tentacled Devourers And a peon impaled on a
An important and very happy day. My Twitter account has hit 7000 followers! Which is a mind blowing number. So many different folks following my game development journey: streamers, gamers, fellow game developers, fans of Fringe Planet and just generally awesome folk. It is incredible to think that so many people are both enjoying my
