As I said in a previous post about my platformer engine (the one I’m working on for Fuzeboy), I’m using Zack Bell‘s code as a base. 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).

In November 2016 I met Denis (@darftey). He’s a pixel artist. One of the best I’ve ever met, actually. We teamed up to develop Fuzeboy.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that since then, the development of KREN has been put on hold indefinitely.
We’re pushing hard on this mobile platformer game.
There is still no official release date but we’re making progress 24/7 on every front. From music and sound to gameplay mechanics, from platform specific issues to minor graphic details.
Lots of care is being put into making this game as fun as possible. We care about details. We care about story and gameplay. We are in love with this game and we’re making sure everything goes the way we envision.
Stay tuned for more Fuzeboy news in the near future.
