Back in 2020 I had _a lot_ of free time on my hands. I had been working hard on
|
|
my master's thesis during that year's summer as well, which did also take a
|
|
huge chunk of time. But apart from that, there weren't really many other
|
|
opportunities outside of my own four walls to waste time on. So I'd also work
|
|
on a small game project on the side. It was nothing special really. Just a 2D
|
|
top down shooter. Add to that the fact that I enjoyed the details of engine
|
|
programming a lot more than the actual game design portion, and you get a game
|
|
that is fun, but nothing special. Nevertheless, the fact that there wasn't much
|
|
else going on I grew quite fond of the game. Hell, I even imagined selling it
|
|
for a teensy tiny price at some point. Looking back that was a little
|
|
preposterous, but there you go :)
|
|
|
|
So once things got a little more normal the game sat, unfinished as it was,
|
|
waiting to be completed released one day. I think that day now came, because
|
|
over the last year I'd fixed up the remaining issues and tied the whole thing
|
|
together such that it has a coherent start and finish. With a cool bossfight
|
|
and outro and everything.
|
|
|
|
So I guess the moral of the story is that the project has now arrived in
|
|
reality. Where it is just one of thousands of games like it, but this one is
|
|
mine :) Oh. And also it is online at all, which is also an improvement to
|
|
before where it was just a bunch of code, images and music on my harddrives.

You can find the game on its dedicated project page:
