Kren devlog #3 – basic metroidvania planning
ByNiklesA well developed metroidvania game should start with a solid planning phase. One of the first things to figure out is the character movement.

How I Scale Fuzeboy Resolution on Mobile and Desktop Devices
ByNiklesFuzeboy’s still in development so it’s only natural that sometimes I take time to rewrite stuff, to fix things, to experiment and so on. We try, we break, we fix, we extend, we change.

Recently I started to look into ways to optimize such code without losing the functionality (slopes are a big feature of that simple collision/movement code). And as someone once told…
Fuzeboy – A new beginning
ByNiklesMe and Darftey have been developing Fuzeboy for five months now. We met in late Novemeber 2016, experimented a bit with prototypes and then started serious development in January 2017.
