One more month gone. It certainly does look like my year long goal of releasing a HTML5 game won’t be reached. I am a bit disappointed that I was unable to reach this goal. For 12 months, I’ve been working on this HTML5 game and I feel that I’m most likely 3-4 months away from… Continue reading November 2020

My final short blog, I promise. Firstly, I passed my Microsoft Exam and I am SQL Server certified! Now that the exam has been completed, I can focus on this HTML5 game again. SteakHouse Chef development is now back on the table. So, the original plan was to finish the game before the end of… Continue reading October 2020

Another short blog. Yet again. I’ve been unable to even open GameMaker Studio to work on the game. Currently studying for a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 certification. I believe obtaining this certification would make me more desirable for my new acting-up DBA role. As a result of this, I have been spending most evenings revising… Continue reading September 2020

Short blog. Nothing really to add. I got an interim promotion at work! Because of this I have been spending most of my free time learning the ropes. This is so I can turn the interim to a permanent role. Even though there’s nothing much to add, I feel it’s important to look back and… Continue reading August 2020

July 2020 Update Blogging because I have to, but again, not much to report in terms of making games this month. Professional work life is taking over my life. I’m in the midst of getting a big promotion that requires me to spend most evenings learning new SQL concepts. Not a lot of time to… Continue reading July-2020

June 2020 Update I thought I would write an update to show just how far I’ve come since starting the commitment to blog once a month for 2020. I think showing some side by side comparisons would be great as a nice reminder that progress is always being made, even if it doesn’t feel like… Continue reading June-2020

May 2020 Update Another month, another HTML5 game dev blog post. I feel like I’ve made HUGE progression for the game, SteakHouse Chef. Specially compared to the previous months I’ve added animation for the characters, replaced the characters and am closer to having a consistent theme throughout the game. Game Dev News I wanted to… Continue reading May 2020

April 2020 Update I lost focus this month. Big time. I’m pretty sure I put in less than 5 hours in total this entire month. COVID has put the world in a unique place and I although I am still working, this is the perfect time to push my HTML game development and write new… Continue reading Apr 2020

COVID-19 has made everything different this month. Harder to stick to a schedule, harder to allocate time to be creative. For the foreseeable this is going to be the new normal. But I did manage to migrate the website away from Hostinger and onto another provider. Saving a bit of money and gaining ease. Might… Continue reading March 2020

Blogging 2 months in a row, someone get me a trophy ???? for blogging about my HTML5 games!! I’m excited that I’m actually sticking to what I said I would do and actually blog once a month about making free HTML5 games. I find that I’m much more likely to write some HTML5 code if… Continue reading Feb 2020
