What's new?

My new game, Plethora 2012 Disclosure will be out soon!
The official release date is now "when it's done" :)

I'm in finishing mode now. Plethora won't be released until it's done and it's fun! All of the enemies are in now, and most of the levels. Bosses are coming along. Graphics are in flux right now, lots of placeholders still in there so I've not been too good about screenshots. When I get a good playable with all my own graphics there will be screenshots and some youtube. I'm not sure how anyone does the blogging and twittering and game dev at the same time. I tend to get quiet when I'm working hard. I'm still planning a first quarter release! If you'd like to be a beta tester, get in touch :)

Announcing my new game, Plethora 2012 Disclosure!
This is what I've been working on. I'm hoping to release next January.

Plethora is an old-school, brutal, side-scrolling shooter. It has an innovative control system, 13 weapons, achievements to unlock, numerous stages and huge bosses! It even has a bit of a story - yes, I know you aren't supposed to do that in a shmup! Don't worry, the story doesn't get in the way of blasting everything to bits, just ties everything together and adds a bit of intrigue. I have designed a new "Mastery" system so you won't have to repeat stages that you've played to death - unless you want to - but you will have to earn your way through :)

Look for screen shots and hopefully some video soon!

I am working on some new stuff now, and have decided to start a blog so I can talk about parts of the process and give some updates along the way. It will be fairly casual and tongue in cheek, so don't expect to see "best practices" or "average player statistics" or any of that junk. This will be more of that old school "I know I'm not supposed to use GOTO but the bug was fixed and it shipped!" kind of thing. I'm not in the corporate game industry now and have no interest in going back, so you'll also get the unvarnished truth :D
