Update of my unnamed game: I’m working on adding more verticality to the game. I have implemented some basic ladders to make rooms with several levels of elevation.

Its spooky season! Naturally, I've prepared some eerie screenshots from the game! Hm, odd. One of them isn't like the rest, huh. Alec has turned werewolf for the upcoming Halloween festivities! Alicia doesn't seem too scared by his transformation though...?

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.
