DRAKONIC

One of my final projects this semester. I may come back to it at some point to make it good

Hi everyone.

It’s been a bit since the last post on my blog.

Mainly been busy with my recently acquired job + my visual novel, Heartbit. In this post I mainly want to share some developments with the project.

I still don’t really have any promotional material for the game, so I’m trying to still be a bit secretive about it. However, this game will be open source and licensed under a CC-BY-SA license, and if you’re good enough at digging for information you’ll find its public repository if you wish. [Read more...]

Let me first build up a little context.

My very first game console was a pink DS Lite, bundled with Nintendogs.

My father, who at the time was an avid pirate, soon got me a flashcart to go with it. Me, being 7, and not really knowing of what DS games are out there, I was happy with just my virtual doggy game, but I still was extastic to find out that my father had downloaded some games for me onto the before mentioned flashcart. He loaded it up with some stuff a 7 year old might enjoy: games featuring dora the explorer, that diego cousin guy, my little pony, littlest pet shop, and other similar franchises… And of course, also plenty of games catering to my obsessions at the time: horses, dinos, dragons, and I suppose just animals in general.

If you’re curious, here’s a list of the favourites I can remember: (some of them I’d today still claim are really good games!)

• Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
• How To Train Your Dragon DS
• Go, Diego, Go. [Read more...]

A lovely text adventure with a surprisingly strong focus on philosophy. A 20ish hours-long treat for the mind and soul, not just for those who feel connected to dragonkind. This story will stay with me for a long, long time, I feel. [Read more...]

On a recent car trip, I wound up booting up a game on my PS Vita that I knew next to nothing about, only having seen a couple screenshots my friend has sent. That game is “Doki Doki Universe”, and it’s a pretty interesting work.

It’s essentially a personality test with things built around that core idea. Playing it gives you about as much value as solving online personality quizzes does - it’s not meant for gaining particularly interesting or useful insight about yourself, it’s mainly just for fun.

The game consists of two main things - planets - a couple Scribblenauts-like storylines, where what you do and say to the characters influences the game’s perception of your personality (for example, if you choose to hug a crying character, the game deems you a bit closer to the “Sweetheart” archetype), and asteroids - which are straightforward personality quiz questions.
