Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I intended to have part two of my platformer series out today, but I'm behind in my writing. So instead I'm giving out a small consolation prize for all the people using their time off to learn some programming.

I haven't been posting here frequently, but I thought I'd give you all a look at my last project. A couple of months ago, Austin (of ARK Design) and I designed and built a little game in Phaser. It was an entry in GitKraken's game contest.
I will continue working in Phaser, but I don't think it'll replace Love2d's place in my heart. If you want to see my Phaser experiment, use the link below. Best with two players!

If you've been paying attention the last month has been really exciting for indie developers. I've had time to take a look at Unity 5 and the now free Unreal Engine. Here are my thoughts.

In the past few weeks a number of readers have sent small donations to my paypal account, enough in fact, to cover hosting the website for this month. The largest donation was $3 with $1 being the most common.
I just wanted to thank you all and let you know that I'm working on building a switch into the site that turns off advertisements. I think everyone adblocker or not deserves to read a tutorial without someone trying to sell you something.

Awhile back I wrote a little blog post talking about how I was playing around with Love2d and with Unity3d. I didn’t expect that little blog post (read it here) to start collecting dozens of hits all from people looking for a comparison between Love2d and Unity3d. For me it’s a pretty simple question. They’re nothing alike. But still there were people asking me which one they should use. As a result I wrote a long post on the topic for OSMstudios.

Back when only hipsters had Android phones and the only Android phone one could own was the G1, I built a little Android application named “Andvestigate.” It was a file management application back when Android phones (the G1) didn’t come with file managers. There were a few similar programs floating around, but, to the best of my knowledge, Andvestigate was the only one that provided multiple file/folder selection copy & paste.
With most Android phones now packaged with built-in file managers, Andvestigate is relauching as a device information system.
