Stay Sharp
I guess one positive aspect of not paying attention is that it makes for a more entertaining video (if you like watching me slowly lose to my own creatures). In any case, watch below for some new creatures and new weapons!
Arsenal of Freedom
Remember the ‘Stone Soup’ fable? This is sort of like that. Everyone contribute something to make a nice weapon, er… soup.
The Statue Inside
Terrain; where it is and what it looks like. Sounds simple enough, but of course many things are more difficult than they sound. So I’ve spent a couple weeks working on editing tools for laying down terrain and painting it with textures. It all has to work within the confines of the game naturally, but […]

This in turn led to hours sitting around making shapes and structure on the terrain. And that in turn led me to refactor the way line-of-sight is calculated. And that eventually landed […]
Much done, little visible
For the last week I’ve spent what seems like uncountable hours working on save/load support. It’s that point in the project where it needed doing, so it is now done.

After a week of being chased by some tough, tough bugs (state machines, matrix math, don’t ask…) I decided to pluck a strawberry, so to speak, and see how it tasted. I put in a version of CW1/CW3 style collectors to test how they would work. Now, they are different in that they don’t insta-deploy. […]
Creeper World 4 Game Play Mechanics
Not everything you see will be in the game, and not everything you do not see will be absent from the game. Free your mind from such concerns, relax, and just watch the line being held in this video…
