It was one hell of a week for work, but a bad week for pictures. Most of the week was spent preparing Bleed 2 to be integrated with the Steam API. Pretty optimistic of me, since I don’t know for a fact that Bleed 2 will be released on Steam, but I’d like to think […]

Alright! The new year is underway and I’ll probably be back to shorter, more concise entries for the time being. This week I worked on the third level of the game, including touching up one of the bosses of said level! I’ve shown this picture of her a few times, but here is Red: When […]

Yeeaaaah happy new year everyone! Like most people I’ve been pretty busy with the holiday season, so today’s blog post will be a little light. Early in 2014, I got into the habit of logging of my hours worked, as well as what I accomplished each week. For fun, I stuck it in Excel and […]

The Disclaimer This is NOT a feature announcement. There is a high chance of this not being in the final game. I’m just sharing what I’m working on, and asking for input.    The Article Got it? Good. Let’s talk about randomly generated content! Like many people, I’m intrigued by the prospect. Programming-wise, it’s a […]

Personal life and the holiday season got slightly in the way of work this week, but I did get stuff done, including finishing level 2! Yaaaay! Since I don’t have as much to say as I’d like to this week, I thought I’d take the opportunity to touch on a few improvements I’m making to […]

Time for something a little different. I’d like to discuss my approach to making Bleed 2, and how I’m attempting to develop it in a way that maximizes both my enthusiasm for work and the quality of the game — two things that can really suffer during long development cycles. Bleed 2 has existed in […]

Oh, I didn’t see you there! Hello! Got a minute? Then I’ll tell you what I worked on this week: Difficulty Balancing Set-Up The start of the week was spent finishing up the Kitty Chopper boss. All its visuals and attacks were complete, but that’s only the beginning. Once a boss is done in that […]

This week I started tackling the second level! Environment art was touched up and put in the game, as were most of the minor enemies for this level. But I don’t want to focus on those so much this week, because I also spent a great deal of time re-doing the Kitty Chopper boss! This […]

A moderately productive week this time. Here’s what I got up to!   Pistols Hitboxes Most entities in Bleed have a hitbox that tells them where they collide with tiles and other entities. That’s fine 99% of the time, but it was causing problems with the pistols in some cases. The gist of it is: […]

You didn’t think I’d actually do it, did you? How does it feel to be WRONG — here’s what I did this week!   Interior Scenes As planned, I worked on the layout and enemy placement for the first level! The level takes place in a city, not just the rooftops, so I had some […]
