It feels like every day for the last week I’ve been learning something new. Yesterday I realised how good reddit can actually be. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve largely avoided it over the years as I assumed it to be a troll’s playground. You hear a lot of negative stories about how volatile the communities …
I started this morning feeling a little deflated. It’s the first time since I’ve started making games that I’ve felt that way. Yesterday I sent out my first real attempt at contacting press. The last few months of effort are now finally at the point of being tested. I don’t really know what I was …
Another busy week has flown by. The tasks for the week were: Getting sliding platforms to work – finally got those bad boys working! Finishing the first pass of the remaining 50 levels – I got a load done with 21 left to do. On top of that I also continued with some biz dev. …
You know when feel so close to finishing something, so close to rolling through those final steps to completion? But there’s one thing that’s just stopping you from making that final sprint.

Busy week of biz dev last week! I’d originally set out to achieve: Create a trailer Complete the press kit I managed to get trailer created early in the week that I was really happy with. It took a late night but it was worth it! With the trailer complete I was able to also …

Knowing it takes about 30 days for them to do all their checks I had no option but to …
In July I started a YouTube series called Making An Indie Game. It was about my progress as an indie developer and the development of Eo’s Adventure. Shortly after starting it and explaining why I think libGDX is great I changed direction to making Glo using GameMaker Studio. I feel like I left things hanging …
My first eight months in the world of game dev have been an absolute blast. There’s been ups and downs along the way but every single moment so far has been really exciting and enjoyable. It’s not been very long but I have already learned so much to the point where, when I look back …
The last progress update was 2 weeks ago before I put #Glo out for beta testing and went on holiday. The tasks revolved mostly around getting Glo ready for the beta test: Add a menu system – got the basic framework in place for the start screen, levels select and pause menus. Polish the animations …
It was nice to get a chance to have a week to sit back, relax, eat a lot of cake and reflect on how the past month and a half has gone during the development of Glo. I won’t lie, I was hoping for a bit more interest on the Glo beta. Currently it’s only …
