Its been a about 3.5 years now since I made the decision to “just make games” (that counts time before I started blogging) instead of waiting for the perfect time to get adventurous. It was a good decision; I’m busier now that…

Hey all! I completed my first game for #1GAM. It didn’t go quite as planned but the experience with my new ECS-based engine was definitely worth it. Looking forward to the next project! Here’s the game if you feel so inclined…

Well, I made the decision. This is the year I finally make a serious attempt at 1GAM. Can I pull off 12 games in 12 months? Who knows, but BRING IT ON. My plan is to keep a TIGSource devlog…

Three days in a row! How about that! But tomorrow’s the dreaded Monday, so… anyway, I’m actually gonna keep this brief because… yeah, tomorrow’s Monday, so… Today I realized that I didn’t have proper runtime debugging set up; that’s a…

(Please excuse the poor code formatting; WordPress acts a little funny about spacing.) Last time, I gave a brief, non-exhaustive intro on what an ECS was, and also talked a little bit about pros and cons. One thing I didn’t…
