Enemy Finding Algorithms
Sorry that it has been a couple of weeks since my last update…. I’ve been busy making some serious progress on game 2. I’ve been on a sprint to get some major things in place and I have achieved some pretty cool things. One of these things has been formulating a strategy for identifying what […]
Save Games
Yes, game 2 will allow game saves. This is not necessarily an indication that the missions will be intrinsically longer, just a realization that some maps and some players sometimes need to be able to save a map and continue it later. I suppose it may also lead to a ‘gray’ market in saved game […]

Hello World
Welp, figured it was about time to start talking a bit about what we have going on at KC. Lots of things have been moving and happening and lots more are to come. Creeper World has turned out to be an unconditional success as small indie games go. It and its cousin the ‘Training Sim‘ […]
