  1. My least popular game by far is Cell Sword. Totally tanked unfortunately.

    But part of me really wants to bash out a sequel.

    Really liked how high-energy I got it and feel I can do an even more streamlined, kinetic, "pure" version.

    Must resist...

  2. Working on a new level for Cell Sword. Finally finding the chaos I was always searching for in the premise. Thinking of calling it "Heart Thumper".

    Yeah yeah this is me taking a break from Low Earth Orbit Adventures

  3. Ophelix (a character from Escape from Pleasure Planet) guest starring as MediWeapon Customer Service (from Cell Sword) in Low Earth Orbit Adventures... three games in one

  4. What do people think about Cell Sword? Is it worth doing a new version? I feel like it's got potential but I'm too close to the game to see the blind spots

  5. Cell Sword is a month old and with a bit of distance I'm seeing the structural choices that I wasn't fully in authorial control over (ie my blindspots).

    For example, I wish I had been brutally curt and not allowed upgrades between missions.

    There's something beautiful and pure about cold starts and it would've suited this game.

    Just kind of sharpened the focus on the player's ability and the game's frenetic aspects and also made level design easier.

  6. Provoking this reaction in friends and family is what gets me out of bed in the mornings

  7. I think I'm going to have to accept that "It's hemoglobbering time!" is not going to catch on as a catch phrase

  8. Cell Sword, my comedy scifi shooter, is now available for the mostly harmless price of $8 on Steam and Itch. It's a love letter to Descent and I've tried to make it crazy and full of twists. Boosts appreciated!

  9. 24 hours until Cell Sword launches! Hmm, wait, I should be theming the announcements. Um, 24 hours until it injects... 24 hours until the doctor will see you... 24 hours until hemoglobbing ... hmm

  10. Made a font for Cell Sword. It'll be free and Creative Commons (CC BY-SA) and available later this month (when the game unlocks on itch)

  11. Final production board for Cell Sword. Even the smallest games take a lot of planning. From this board 460+ tasks were generated (435 are closed) to get to v1.0.0

    What I like about this is you can see visually even without text how by the end (the far right) the story beats, missions and monsters are all integrated at a high level

  12. Cell Sword hit release candidate today! As far as I can tell it is ready for release.

    Last minute addition of a ping ability that sends out a cute little wobbly pulse and then highlights the nearest enemy

  13. How it started last year vs how it's going today

  14. The first game I ever sold was an ANSI art BBS game that you had to wait for the letters to print on the screen and now here I am years later delivering motion and light and drama. It feels good.

  15. Is it funny? I think it's funny. Fake ads (blipverts?) in Cell Sword to give it a touch of Robocop.

    In-game it's got music and subtitles etc.

  16. 11 / 13 levels at first draft. Woot. Just "Battle of the Red Blood Cell" and "Desecrated" left to do.

  17. Working on the last "big level" (it's from early in the game but I saved it til last) and pulling out all the stops. Spared no expense. All killer no filler etc etc

    #CellSword

  18. "Body Quake" finished. Which means 9 out of 13 levels for Cell Sword are at first draft. Another three are close behind and only the fourth is really incomplete. Not quite light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel but not far off.

  19. I've made this maze level and I really liked adding the green parts but playing the level they are confusing but I'm not quite ready to let them go. Will sleep on it.

  20. Having a lot of fun designing Descent-style levels for Cell Sword. I don't have a name for this level yet but thinking "The Eyes Have It" or "The Mote In God's". Happy to take suggestions!

  21. I don't quite know where in the human body this is but I'm pretty sure it's in there somewhere (I am not a medical person)

  22. Finished first draft of "Heart City" level today, so happy about that. Even got some textures on the infected artery walls going.

  23. Soft launch of the Cell Sword demo today. I'm a game dev / historian and this is my homage to the #6DoF genre that started with Descent in 1995 but with modern design elements and some unique deviations.

    Three playable levels in this demo.

  24. First look at my new game Cell Sword.

    It's a classic six-degrees of freedom shooter like Descent but set inside the human body.
