While I beat the drum about supporting GNU/Linux gamers, more than a few people have noticed that the world doesn’t revolve around Windows vs Mac vs GNU/Linux anymore. Jeff Tunnell wrote in February that putting your game on OS X and GNU/Linux is not enough.
Instead of debating OSX, Linux, and Windows vs. just Windows, [...]
I like calling attention to the reasons why you should support Mac OS X and GNU/Linux as a game developer, especially since so many people still ignore these markets at their peril.
Recently, Koen Witters of Koonsolo Games wrote about how surprised he was to find that Linux users show their love for the company’s indie [...]
Ludum Dare #15 is over, and I already wrote that the results are in. Aside from placing well in Community, which shows how much I love participating in LD48, I also saw my overall ranking come in at around the 40 percentile. I was ranked #63, which sounds good, but there were a number [...]
It’s 2 weeks later, and Ludum Dare #15 is officially over. The results are in, and I placed 5th…in the Community category. Unfortunately there was no food category this time around, or I could have gotten the gold in that one. B-)
Seriously, congratulations to the makers of the top ten overall entries! The #1 overall [...]

I’ll try to have a Windows port up [...]

This is a bowl of popcorn.
LOOK AT IT!

Progress report:
The driver can exit the vehicle, pick up some mineral, return it, and go back [...]
See the yellow sphere? That’s the driver of the tank, out to get those blue minerals. Both the driver and the tank respect the walls of the level now. The driver can get in and out of the tank, but only from the front. I should probably do something to make it clear to the [...]
Yes, I do.
I’m really close to moving the player around. He can jump in and out of the tank if he’s near it. Or, he will once I figure out how to make sure that he doesn’t jump out of the tank into a wall.
