Whoa, it's dusty in here
  • I have not been developing games lately

  • It has been very freeing

  • I have been doing a lot of home improvement projects

  • Hopefully more game development in the future

  • That is all

    Porting Static:IT - Part 2- Engine Differences

    In part 1, I wrote about a difficulty endemic to just about any porting project,
    the importing and trans-coding of data to different formats.

    Here in part 2 I'll cover a few of the trickier engine architectural differences that exist between 
    the original engine for Static:IT (Selenite) an…

    Something Worth Talking About

    Greetings All,

    It's been a good three weeks, and things are finally at a point where I can start talking about them.

    First things first:

    Revel Immortal

    Revel is at an interesting (good interesting) spot right now; we've made all of the changes and porting that we set out to accomplish Jan 1.

    Dang, I can't keep a journal to save my life!

    Well hopefully some folks are subscribed to our Facebook group, it details more regular, though less in-depth happenings.

    So notably, end of May through June 16th I was away, a bit of business, and a lot of fun; trying to get in a few weeks of vacation.…

    A bit more on change

    Let's start with a new screenshot, showing some of the 'human/male' graphics I did over the weekend; and the new 'name ribbons' for portraits.

    Images aside, I wanted to formally touch upon why I've chosen this new graphical and gameplay style for Revel Immortal.

    It can really be boiled down to con…

    A small peek of what's in the works

    Greetings all,

    It's been roughly a month since my last update; though I've been giving detailed updates via the edigames Facebook page, mostly weekly; mostly uninteresting.


    While I didn't mention it in my last post; it has been necessary to modify the format or 'style' of Revel Immortal, such that …

    I'm not dead...

    Though it depends on your definition of dead, in some ways I might as well be.

    Content? There's been a startling lack of it.

    Why? Life as an employed 32 year old husband and property owner ...and probably some general laziness.

    So yeah, sorry, progress has been very slow; I am working on Revel Immo…

    Whew, glad to be back, sorry it took so long.

    Working on getting back into the swing; along with battening down the hatches as winter isn't far off.

    Happy to say the office space work was a success, along with my home bar.

    Time for a bit of an update.

    Not much progress on Revel; I am doing a good job of taking the summer off from it.

    As I said in an earlier post I am technically 'off' from EDIGames until autumn rolls around.

    Revel Immortal v24, and general update
    Greetings All!

    So, Revel Immortal v24 is now live; only a couple small fixes, hopefully more to come soon.


    The reason for the 'light & late' update (our last update was about a month ago); was that I spent two weeks on vacation in Orlando FL, with my lovely wife doing 'absolutely nothing'.
