Introducing “Born of Fire”
A bit of showing off the art style from “Born of Fire” – the upcoming tower-defense game – so here are mugshots of some of the characters. The artist in charge is Robert Gonzales.
The Making of: Orbital Decay, Part 2
…or how to make the graphics (when you’re not an artist). I planned Orbital Decay as a solo enterprise and making the graphics took most of the time: out of the 5 months it took for the project to finish, 3.5 were allocated for the graphics. I opted out for a retro-pixel art-“16 bit graphics” […]

Games Line-up
Unnamed Tower Defense (former known as Vorago) It’s a story-driven TD game with emphasis on RPG elements, currently under development. Assets are done 90%, code and design will follow in the next month. It was supposed to be named “Vorago”, but a game with a similar name was released several days ago. Planned for release […]

Later on, a while after the release, I had the brilliant idea to add a “log” button that […]
Orbital Decay Avatars

From left to right, they are AI Steiner, AI Celia, alter ego Steiner, alter ego Celia, Aru pilot, raider pilot and raider commander. Grab the whole pack and use them on your favorite forum, messenger or social networking site 😉
Opening up
I have considered for quite some time opening a blog, but I wasn’t exactly sure if I’ll have the time and mood to take care of it enough to become a little more than “just another WordPress blog”. Hope to do it at a regular pace though, but hell, I won’t write here daily. Not […]
