One thing that had always bugged me about RBS was the lack of controller support – it worked, but nowhere near as well as it should. So I recoded the whole controller code thing with a new controller extension! It works as it should if you’re using Xbox controllers (real or fake!), and probably just as well with Aldi Discount Controllers.

There’s a new bloom shader too and loads of optimisations. It’s still not perfect for everyone. But that’s just a way of MMF2 telling me to stop being cruel.

Give it another go! If you want. If not there’s always the Lunar Pack

And has anyone else played the new Tomb Raider? It’s wonderful!

Well that’s crazy isn’t it! It wasn’t what I was expecting at least.

Late last year I was inspired to tidy up the Lunar Pack games. I wasn’t happy with them. Around that time (I forget) Indie Royale asked if they could use them. “Sure!” the last Indie Royale bundle we were in was great for us. So to be nice I thought I’d hurry the updates along and give them those games. I expected a bit more of an announcement that they were the only place to get the new games, but oh well! They were both pushed to a place I was very happy with.

But the bundle didn’t do as well as the first one we were in. It happens, even with Serious Sam 3 (great stupid-fun game by the way!).

So I just casually asked Valve if they wanted The Lunar Pack and they casually agreed to take them as a double-pack. Which was nice.

If you picked up the Indie Royale bundle you’ll be getting your Steam key soon or if you didn’t (or just want to support the next BB game) it’s currently 20% off and £3.19.

The only difference with the Steam version is the built-in screenshot taking by pressing the Left bumper using an Xbox controller (or equivalent on Aldi Discount Controllers), and both games have their full FLAC and MP3 soundtracks – something that was only available to IR bundle owners in the past.

I never get rid of my old pics. Here’s the oldest one in my pictures library-

Made in Photoshop in 1998/1999 or so (the first couple of years at secondary school). So there you have it. Proof!

SO HERE WE GO. Be prepared for sneak peaks at things that never made it into the final game, early concepts and unrefined silliness from the Really Big Sky and Big Sky libraries!

Also one random commenter who correctly points out the ONE picture in this post that doesn’t have a link to a larger version will get a Steam code for Really Big Sky!

Ends this Friday

The ship is born!

My game is out on Steam now.

Version 4.00 will be out soooooon! It’s a huge update.

Defense Grid: The Awakening is on sale on Steam. Well theres a whole lotta games on sale at the moment but everyone in the world needs to play Defense Grid.

It’s a tower defence game and the one that introduced me to the genre. The production values are superb, and barring a Lv3 Concussion tower it’s perfectly balanced.

The stock game comes with 20 maps on the main mission, each one having between 3-6 play modes each with its own online leaderboard. They released a free DLC pack of 4 maps and a not-as-free-but-kinda-close-enough pack of 8 levels for 79p for 2. There’s a lot to do.

Oh right and why I love it… well the voice over guy is superb. He’s oh-so very British, “We’ve emptied their pockets and kissed their sisters, well done”. The music is great. The gameplay is very long lasting and addictive. The difficulty is perfect. The extra modes are a nightmare, but the good sort.

I highly recommend it!
