My eBook on creating a clone of Q*bert is not live! I’m calling it an eBook instead of a tutorial due to the length of the tutorial. Rather than publish multiple tutorials, I opted to publish it all at once. You can find the link to the tutorial on my Classic Games page, or you …
Next Eye of the Dragon 4.0 Tutorial – Part 16
It took longer than anticipated, but I have uploaded tutorial 16 in my Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial series. This tutorial continues where the last one left off, on encounters. You can now attack the bat, and the bat can swing back. You can find the link to the tutorial on my blog’s Eyes …
Sorry For Being Absent
The title says it all. I’m sorry for not posting regularly over the weekend. I’ve had a lot on my mind. However, I did manage some work on the next Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial. More on that shortly. I don’t see myself posting on Fridays anymore. I’ve found a charming spot to play …
New Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 Tutorial – Part 15
First, I should have posted this yesterday. However, I was busy with work and my Magic: The Gathering event. Even though it was a small pool of players, I was pleased to place fourth.

New Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 Tutorial, Part 12
I have finally uploaded a new tutorial! This tutorial adds a character generator to the game. It isn’t final, but I couldn’t add more to it as it was getting long enough. Characters will use the SPECIAL system based on a ten-sided die. To check if an action occurs, you roll a D10. If the …

Needed a Break
I took a few days off to talk with people instead of computers. It was a nice change. Not once did I talk about game programming. Once writing came up but not what I usually wrote about. I enjoyed being under the radar. I’ve had enough, though. I’m ready to return to what I love …
It Was a Dark……
Well, it was dark. It was later in the evening, so it was to be expected. Okay, all joking aside. I have been very busy with my Shadow Monsters game. That, and work today, of course. I have made some good progress on Shadow Monsters. More on that later. I took a break from tutorials, …
