CRUSH

Making an arcade cabinet is interesting....


I spent the past couple of days figuring out this cabinet for CRUSH. Most of the difficulties have been tech issues. The goal of the cabinet is to do a mirror projection like the cabinets from the late 70's, early 80's. The issues I encountered:

1. Game runs on windows, but windows doesn't allow for inverting the screen to show in a mirror - not without expensive hardware.

2. Linux will invert the code through the command line, but the game won't run the NWJS app and after 15+ hours trying to solve this. I've settle on running it as HTML5 through my site, which will introduce some else I'll talk about later.

I found a frame for $1.50 at Habitat for Humanity that make the cabinet look cool.

As this is my first cabinet - I may not have this be for CRUSH. So i'm going to move these post over to my dev account so follow me, @saltandpixel to follow the progression of this project.

Hey Everyone!

@toborprime released Savage: The Shard of Gosen as early access. (https://store.steampowered.com/app/408060/SAVAGE_The_Shard_of_Go…) Seriously, this is a game you need to get. It's an action platormer with some really good art and rpg elements.

So this is more exciting for me then you, but It's still pretty cool. I'm turning this old laptop into a linux system to boot CRUSH - like an arcade cabinet.

I've decided to put a lot of focus on next year to creating my own web app arcade. Games that you can install on your PC or Mobile, direct from my website. I have 4 games available right now. https://saltandpixel.com/arcade-beta-v1-1

Cast is all here. Zernek did a great job with the character redesigns. https://twitter.com/Zernek1 Next, I need to redo the boss and level art.

Coming out of the blue, I'm going to reskin CRUSH. Here's a preview for some of the NEW character designs. by https://twitter.com/Zernek1 Been a while with this game. Plan is to update the existing game. Anyone who purchased the original will get the update.

Just wanted to announce that Annihilator has left Early Access and is now a full release!

Tonight around 9pm EST, I am streaming CRUSH artwork. I'll be redesigning one of the arenas. https://www.twitch.tv/saltandpixel

What would you do?

A dungeon crawler I'm working on.

Listen kids. Life can be harsh and beat you up. But don't let it convince you to give up. I'm working on an SCP Site simulator and Backroom-like game. I'll be sharing those soon. I'm making an effort on my social media again. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WOnnNoQHYEM
