This has been a very strange week. Busy as ever and additionally I was randomly shot in the head by an air gun while going to fetch cat treats. I’m fine, but it was a very surreal event that actually (most annoyingly) delayed some things I was planning to do this week. Always expect the
Another week has quite literally flown past. Actually shockingly fast for me. The days have been somewhat of a blur as I’ve alternated between coding, drawing doodles and printing my own graph paper to do sums on. Also, a lot of time spent reading documentation as well. I’ve spent most of my time very focused

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

Part 1 – A beginning My name is Elisabeth Crane. I doubt human eyes will ever read these writings, but it is in my nature to make them – for there is a chance that one day they may be recovered and I truly fear the situation that will involve their discovery. I have taken
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
Eldritch. A word that means otherworldly, weird or strange. A word with a certain atmosphere surrounding it. Atmosphere is something I’m working on very hard with Fringe Planet, and this is why a large chunk of the work this week has been spent playing with shaders, staring at gimp, creating little 32×32 textures and fiddling
The Void has been getting a texture upgrade this week. I’ve spent a lot of time in GIMP and going cross-eyed while trying to work out the fine art of pixel work. It’s gone well, and I’m pretty happy with the results I’ve been producing. Something that has been mentioned by a few people was
