I'm working on lakes for my procedural landscape. So far the terrain just continues down under the water with trees, grass and all. But just having the ground and water surface generated such that the water edge is never above-ground was a hard-won achievement. 😅 #ProcGen #GameDev #IndieDev

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

4 panel comic: Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here” Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!” Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much” Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

One thing that always excited the hell out of me as a kid was games that came with editors or debug modes. Now I get to make one of my own! #indiedev #gamedev #turnbased

New in Archaos: the first tutorial of many. Had a lot of fun putting this system together (and especially when writing the hints). Play now at www.archaos.co.uk #gamedev #turnbased #indiedev

Move your piece

Behold, your majestic King Cobra! But alas, your opponent has also summoned a fearsome Ogre to the board.

It's time to move your piece. These two creatures can only move one space per turn, and need to be next to an enemy to attack them.

Normally the wizards can also move around the board, but in this tutorial, we have (magically) broken their ankles.

Click or tap your King Cobra on the board, then select a position to move to. You don't really have much of a choice but to advance towards the Ogre...

Archaos beta updated: rotates.org/archaos/2021/ Up to 8 players! Computer controlled (and slightly thick) wizards! Probably bugs. Definitely bugs in fact!

A screenshot of a turn-based computer board game. Small brightly coloured pixel art creatures and trees stand on an isometric grid. A large burst of magical light fills most of the centre of the board, as a wizard meets their doom.

So I've been working on this again recently... github.com/lewster32/ar... Live demo will be updated in the next few days I expect, with full 8-player support and (admittedly currently a bit rubbish) computer controlled opponents.

That's it! I've quit my job. I'm again fully committed to #Archrebel, resuming my full-time gamedev career. For all those who have supported the project, even if just with a like or retweet, my heartfelt gratitude; have a fantastic new year! 🍻 #gamedev #gamedevelopment

codepen.io/lewster32/pe... I made some SMPTE colour bars with nothing but CSS. Always enjoy tackling something that seems deceptively simple, and digging into the tiny, nerdy details of why something is why it is. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMPTE_c...

I've decided to start blogging about some of the stuff I do (or have done... ages ago... when I was young and stupid, as opposed to old and stupid) - I've started off with one of my CodePens that I've always been rather proud of: my Jet Set Willy map viewer: www.rotates.org/2025/06/26/c...

Left 4 Dead is a masterpiece. A timeless, perfect piece of gaming brilliance, only marred by the lack of either 3 or 7 other friends to enjoy it with.

Even when intensely focused on DIYing I demonstrate strict trigger discipline.

This is how I spent my time as a 21 year old. Painstakingly recreating the insane glissandos one note at a time in MPT for this absolute banger of a track (Sonic 3 - Hydrocity Act 2).

There's something absolutely magical and nostalgia-inspiring about Poland's historic use of red brick architecture. You see it a lot in The Witcher games and in Polish artists like Jacek Yerka. It's so damn cool.
