It’s very important to me that players feel an emotional connection to their peons. This is mostly because peons die a lot and I’m quite a mean person. With the various personalities the peons have (talking about their stats, their traits and their memories) – means they act very differently and every peon is fairly
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
Greetings! This week has been an exceedingly productive one, the main thrust of development work has been working on a new terrain system for Fringe Planet. Not quite ready to show it off yet, but the progress has been fantastic – and it is going to bring a very interesting change to both the look
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
What an incredibly eventful week for me.

Even if the company is just me! But signatures have
Another week draws to a close, and it’s time to reflect on the work this week. It’s been a fairly quiet but very productive one. There has been a big focus for me this week on business development. It’s sometimes hard to balance all the things you need to do as a solo game developer
Well before I talk about the work that has been done this week, let me announce that Fringe Planet is now official on the Steam store! Go check it out, wishlist it and make my day! I’ll wait for a bit while you do that and then I’ll carry on with the blog post. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1128950/Fringe_Planet/
A busy week – which has shot past. Time seems to be going faster and faster as I approach the Kickstarter date (I may have mentioned it before, August 13th – less than a month!). As regular readers will know, I take feedback about Fringe Planet very seriously. One of the bits of feedback I’ve
So this week I’ve been very busy – I’ve been working on various behind the scenes aspects of the game, and more visibly, I’ve been doing a lot more modelling work. A lot of re-texturing and re-building of the older models. Almost every single model in the game now has been updated. Very happy with
