Slow Rush Games

In the spirit of making death more fun, enemies & players now get crushed by moving bodies, and bleed when they get hit!

Fire wasn't anywhere near as much of an all-consuming inferno as it should be - so I fixed that.

Killed enemies now turn into physically-simulated corpses!

This week I tried out a new spell-casting scheme, including adding 2 new spells.

This week, enemies progressed to toddler stage: they now chase players!

This week, enemies learned to see the player and shoot in their general direction, which increased their deadliness by approximately infinity percent.

This week, I added some enemies to kill, so watch out!

The good thing about building an engine just for your game is that it lets your game do things other games can't (and it's often fun - or at least educational).

This week, levels have a goal to reach, and reaching the goal loads the next level.

This week I added support for tile maps, so levels can be created with the LDTK editor.

This week, I added support for loading levels on the web build.

This week, liquids of different densities separate properly - so oil tends to float on water, rather than stay as globs floating in water.

Last week, I promised to write a bit more about how multiplayer could work (assuming I find funding for it).

This week, fire learned to boil water into steam, and water and acid now mix to make poison!

This week, I implemented acid and fire!

This week, a wild Slow Rush Discord server appears!

This week, it's my birthday!

The prototype's pixel atom physics are coming along nicely, so this week I had a think about the other big part of the game: spell casting.

This week, atoms finally play nice with moving bodies thanks to last week's particles.

This week I had a second shot at implementing particles, which are my planned solution for stopping atoms from crushing moving bodies (so that dropping sand on a box doesn't cause the box to flip out).

This week I can confidently say that falling sand no longer completely crushes a moveable body that it falls onto!

We're back with another Wizard-Pixels-flavored update, again on duct-taping together two physics worlds!

Welcome back!

In last week's playable demo, the edge of the world would jitter back and forth about the width of a pixel when you moved your character - which looked terrible and was very distracting.

This week, I added physics-based platforming support - so now you can control a little box who can move around, jump and push some balls around.

This week, I ported my "game" to two different Rust game engines.

New year, new adventure!
