It's been ages since I did a Ludum Dare, but I joined for their 59th event at the weekend.

This is a writeup of a bugfix I did in Blackshift recently.

Alakajam recently hosted a game jam to make something for their 404 page, and I ended up making a little explorey puzzle game.

I participated in Alakajam, a 48-hour game jam, this past weekend.

For all you puzzle fans, I've released a fairly meaty update for my Steam game Blackshift.

This is an article about how I fixed an annoyance with the new MacOS QuickLook.

This old Flash game from way back in 2005 has been missing from the site for a while, because it was kind of buggy and unplayable and unfair and just not much fun.

I've managed to restore some of the Super Serif Bros user levels from way back, and I've put them back online.

When Adobe killed Flash Player in 2020, I didn't want my Flash games to disappear forever.

The Hapland series is now available on Steam.

I participated in Ludum Dare 49 last weekend and ended up making this Zelda-inspired game.

I didn't want to set a release date in advance and inevitably miss it; much better to just spring the news on you without warning on release day.

If you like Let's Plays, YouTuber Peace of the Puzzle is playing through Blackshift 1.24 (that's the old one, not this remake) here.

A fairly boring update today, but bug-fixes are always good.

Important!

Here's what I'm working on at the moment.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/741110/Blackshift/ Yes yes, I'm still alive and I'm still making Blackshift.

I have ported Super Serif Bros to the ZX Spectrum.

I still get the occasional email about Super Serif Bros, and I don't really have a good reason for not having it online at the moment.

Just a small update this week.

Lots of bugfixes this time, but a couple of new goodies too.
