Rant: NW.js vs. macOS


Shout out to NW.js version 0.40.1 for making Crucible SO much easier to release on Mac than Ignition ever was.

On Ignition, I had to do all this stupid crap on my Mac virtual machine, and copy a specific set of resources from my one version of the game that actually ran into each subsequent release. Now all I have to do is stick in the app icon and the game just works on mac!

All this is just to say that the release process for my games is not an easy task, and it makes me miss the gold old days when Ignition was just going to be a browser-based game and I just had to upload each update to my website over FTP.

Ah, well. At least things are a little better now with the sequel.

Rant over.

ALL DEVELOPMENT on the 2.0 release is NOW DONE!

YES!

All that's left now is the promo art and the trailer, then you'll be getting your hands on it very soon.

UNLEASH THE BEAST.

This is Tuhrahkkkii's final alternate weapon, the Beam Claws. These emphasize quick burst damage and hit-and-run tactics. They also pair nicely with the Grappling Hook, but I was too busy kicking fools here to show that off.

Aaaaand, we're back! Development on phase 3 (the final phase!) has begun, with Kodon's last weapon: The Beam Flail!

This is a clumsy but powerful weapon. It has a very long reach and hits hard, but it's not fast. Use it on enemies too close for your gun!

On today's episode of Pixel Art Fundamentals: That is Not What the Sun Looks Like!

Yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinking when I shaded the old version. The new one looks more like an actual light source.

Egad, what's with all the enemies popping out of the walls lately? Can't you all just sit out in the open like proper gentlemen?

Hmm, what was that someone said about backstabbing?

Operative Delta, elite assassin.

She'll play some sort of part in Kodon's upcoming story content.

The only question is just how much stabbing this part will involve!

And here's the shop animation for last week's new flail weapon.

Its jump attack hits a wide area, making it perfect for swatting flying enemies!

It's finally here! Enjoy the story of Crucible again from a new perspective - that of the relentless mechanized alien warrior Tuhrahkkkii!

This update comes with a fully-developed 2nd playable character, and LOADS MORE!

Did I ever tell you that this game is actually fully rendered in 3D???

...Well, it isn't. Anyway, perspective is hard but I managed to get this new shop image drawn up.

Mmm, toasty.
