What am I working on? SSG!

It’s been a while since I’ve added some proper content to the site, so what have I been up to? Well mainly…

It’s a full complete remake of SpaceSnake. For a while I’ve wanted to do two things for my next project. First make a complete game, not another small 1 level title, and second base it on one of my existing games. SpaceSnake is easily the most popular game on my site. It’s also the only one of my games where someone other then me has blogged about it! Making it the obvious choice.

It’ll have multiple levels placed in a large universe map that you play across. On each level there will be achievements to complete in order to unlock the later levels for building a sense of progression and development. The levels will also get consistently harder as you go through to push your snake skills to the limit.

When finished I am planning to try and get it released onto the (still quite recent) JavaStore. It might not be Steam or the Apple Store, but having a full game finished and published will give me more credability and gain experience I can use for the next title. In many ways it’s like I’m building my first game again because it needs to meet a standard at of completeness that is far higher then any other game I have built.


There is still lots to do, so I’d better get back to work!

About time!

I’ve been bogged down with tonnes of academic work over the past few months. Lots of assignments, lectures to attend and my on going third year project. As a result StudioFortress has been on the back burner for a while with the odd minor update.

However it’s now the end of term so that’s changed. Over the last few weeks Space Snake has been getting a lot of plays from visitors via SuperLand.de, a german blog on games. It’s still easily my most popular game, so I’ve finally found enough time to add a feature it’s needed for ages. Highscores!!!

If you go and play today you’ll find the various death screens have been replaced with new ones where you can type in your name and submit a score. A minor improvement in the grand scheme of things, but I personally think it makes a big difference for this game.
