Bits and bytes of thoughts and wisdom

A few happy updates… How did the FZ.se game jam go? Frag Ztar came in 5th place (broken voting-system?) in the players voting list. Inet, the sponsor of the game jam voted it as their #1 of the games. In conclusion: My game was voted to the 5th spot, but I won the most cash reward. Sometimes luck come in different ways! I used the cash to buy myself an Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics card....

I have enjoyed another game jam! This time it was the swedish videogame news site Frag Zone that set up FZ Game Jam 2021. The time is right because it’s cold and dark outside these months. So a lot of my spare time is at the computer. The jam time was set to a month, ending at 16th of November. I joined the jam 1 week late when randomly visiting the site....

This is my first post on my new site! What am I going to do with this site? Well, I’m going to post about things and ideas that are swirling around or is stuck in my brain that needs to be ventilated digitally. I might post an image: Ghosts ’n Goblins. Do you hate or love this game? Or maybe it’s complicated… I might post some code: Console.WriteLine("Look 'ma! A string!...

I developed this game for the LibGDX Game Jam 15, christmas 2020. It is coded in Java, using the game library LibGDX. Clearly inspired by Wolfenstein 3D, this game is a First Person Shooter in which the player can control the view horizontally but not vertically, shoot enemies, pick up items from the ground and open sliding doors. It was made in a week of time. If it was not for the deadline, I would have focused on making proper code for the game (some parts are horrible, just to get things working quickly) and add more enemies, items and maps....

This game is coded in Java, using the game library LibGDX. After playing F-Zero on my old Super Nintendo Entertainment System I wondered how much of the game I could reproduce with today’s technology. I’ve always enjoyed watching the Mode 7 graphics. I just wanted to make a copy of the game by myself using Java. Another fan of the game from the LibGDX community MGSX reached out to me and contributed with loading time optimizations by using the GPU to generate/paint the track instead of the CPU which improved loading times by thousands of percents....

Developed for the LibGDX Game Jam, December 2019. It is coded in Java, using the game library LibGDX. Inspired by the spinning world in Super Mario World 2 Yoshi’s Island, the player controls Santa Claus who has to chop wood from the trees to collect 100 logs. Once 100 logs are collected, Santa can repair the sleigh and escape the angry yetis on the island. It was made in a week of time....

This game is coded in Java, using the game library LibGDX. After finishing playing the game Steamworld Dig I wanted to create a small demake of it. As with most of my projects, I lost interest after a week of coding… Play now
