Of course, the sensible thing would be to use an existing game engine, but after a certain point, there is some curiosity if learning and fighting yet another game engine is really quicker that just writing something from scratch.

Just a brief message letting you all know that we're currently going through some website upgrades at the moment, so things will look relatively quiet this week. We're updating a whole bunch software on the server and we need to back up all our databases, settings, and gigabytes of files and data before we upload them back onto the server again once the updates are complete.
It takes some time and a whole lot of fidgetting but it's a necessary step for some new features that I want on tsumea,…

It's starting to feel like the good 'ole days again! This week, we've seen the return of Dimsdale & Kreozot, Infinite Interactive, and now it's Krome Studios' turn to make a reappearance.
They've reopened their website which, for the past year or so, sat dormant displaying just the Krome Studios logo. The new site has had a design makeover and gives a glance of the smaller-scaled titles they've been involved with since their notorious collapse in late 2010.
The website also gives a small…

Dimsdale and Kreozot United games Manufacture are back! We added these Brisbane based indie developers to our games developer list way back in 2002, long before indie development really was a 'thing'. I remember they had just produced and released Tito, the bouncing alien, a 'quirky' 3D platform game funded and developed completely on their own, and looking back at that particular title, you could say it was a game released way before it's time. Tito is a relatively simple jumping platform game…
