Now I am back from France and it has been raining for days here in Wales, I have finally had a look at fixing some of the bugs in Godot engine which had stopped me making Android builds.
The biggest, and stop-ship bug has been a bug in the skinning. It turns out if you try and run a Godot game u…
I'm off on various real life missions until the end of the month, so this is my potential release candidate for the challenge, which is available for download for windows and linux from the project page below.
If there are any easy bugs to fix I will try and sort them. This video is actually from…
I'm hard at work trying to finish within the next week or so on the side scrolling challenge, running out of time, so I may add some extra stuff to the game after the deadline but want to get something working to submit. I'm just working on making some objectives and level ends / changes but I tho…

Have spent today and most of yesterday trying to workaround what appears to be a bug in the Godot sound causing glitching. Finally have a working solution:
I'll fix up som…
Day 1 of having a play with ideas for the side scrolling shooter challenge. I really have no idea what to do about the no weapons thing .. I was fully intending to make a space shooter but now I'm not quite sure what to do...
Anyway I made a quick mockup last night with no physics (which is perh…
I've just been hurrying to finish a passable first version of my chess game I'm doing as a challenge with Rutin. After a quick flurry of activity on the user interface and the rules, I tried to make some vaguely sensible recursive tree searching AI. It was interesting, and involved a lot more deb…
