I was contacted by someone regarding Playmaker development and it inspired me to write a blog about visual scripting in general and how few programmers are actually using visual way to make games. It’s fast and easy to learn, but comes with its own set of caveats. I never inteded to make games. I grew up playing video games on C64, Amiga and PC but that was it. A while ago (like 7 years ago) i wanted to change my…

I’m proud to announce that Rick Henderson has been selected as a participant in the Game Development World Championship 2020 in the commercial title category. GDWC has been (to my knowing) been held since 2012., and it’s a great way to help developers gain visibility. In today’s video game market, which is overly saturated, it’s quite hard to get your game noticed unless you have a strong publisher, so every bit counts. That’s why, my dear subscribers, i need your…

Wow, almost four years of work for a humble demo. But things will only get faster and better now that the solid foundation has been laid. Steam – https://bit.ly/2FayeNc Itch – https://bit.ly/2Y5Miz0 GameJolt – https://bit.ly/2XWncCr I hope you’ll enjoy it, all feedback is welcome!
Game development is a really nice job, at least when you’re an indie, not a cog in an AAA crunching machine. You can sit in the comfort of your home and have no expenses for commuting, office rental and eating out, at least that’s how i imagine it to be. But the real question is – can you earn a living wage by doing it? You can read a lot on indie game developer hardships these days. Things are looking…
Hi Uroš, we’re glad that we finally have the chance of doing this interview. For starters, can you tell our audience a bit more about your project – what is Rick Henderson? In short, Rick Henderson is a horizontal-scrolling endless shooter. Five factions, five bosses, loads of guns, perks, great music and beautiful pixel art graphics. When you get to the end, you go on – until you leave your bones in space. How did the whole story start and…
Burn-out, in shortest possible, is a state of physical and mental exhaustion. Is is caused by too much work and stress, and not enough rest and sleep. It can lead to severe health problems, with the smallest one being clinical depression. Apparently, it is very common in game development professions. I started working on Rick Henderson And The Artifact Of Gods a year and a half ago. First, everything was going fine. Fueled by passion and motivation, i stayed late many…
