We've been working on something exciting at Durandal. Alepha is not going anywhere and is actually going faster with 'Tank Game' (really need a name for it). Its been so much fun. Arena shooter feel with some wipeout and mario party. Exciting to share the demo in the coming months.

Halo is the most important part of my personal experiences growing up. Halo 2s special edition disc 2 bts video is why im a game dev. Nothing will ever beat Halo 1-3 splitscreen / LAN.

I miss the old days of HALO so much lately, y'all.

It's hard to convey just how special that time between HALO 1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach was.

I miss couch co-op, Forge craziness, laughing together, playing slayer with friends... but it's all bittersweet now.

Do you have any fond HALO memories?

GameStop's response to one of their stores still having a 'Halo 3' mural from 2007:

"We'll take it down when something better comes out"

Looking at Wipeout and 'Vectorheart' for the design style for the tank game (it stills needs a name)

Small break from Alepha, tried something smaller and more in the arcade style. Still a local multiplayer game though! #gamedev #unreal

I had forgotten Winamp used to have skins and quite the incredible ones!

So Just Eat has partnered with CeX here in the UK for some deliveries. I believe its up to ยฃ200 or ยฃ250. So you can order anything from a power cable to a series S lol

I think that as an indie game dev without a large publisher, your target audience is not gamers in general, it is sickos.

It's hardcore sickos that will be diving the depths of your genre and finding your game, and it is sickos who will be spreading it.

Please the passionate, not the masses.

Today's the last day I'm gonna be sharing this

the ways you can help me pay the bills:

1) quote tweeting my articles and encouraging people to read
2) sharing them on other sites
3) using your free amazon prime subs to sub to twitch.tv/docseuss
4) tipping me at paypal.me/stompsite

Excited for that. Excited to see more about your older style game. Need this to be the era for the post boomer renaissance

Really great read. The downfall of older (not boomer) shooter and linear campaigns isn't talked about enough. Bring back CoD4 and Halo 2 level of high octane story telling.

New platform means that I can post my stuff all over again !

I'm working on FLAW, a scifi retro FPS halfway across Half Life and Halo.

It's available for wishlist on steam and the trailer shall be right under this post ! โ†“

Thats very fair. I forgot they still had some halo 5 stuff in certain infinite builds. Its probably the same (or modified) rig

Issue with the first is the animations. They seem to lack an entire animation department. Hence the carbine using the shock rifle animations. Thats why we're getting classic weapons back as skins

On one hand, this is a step in the right direction.
On the other, there are unanswered questions, especially regarding the LGBTQ+ tag being deindexed as well as the "banks" not being named. (Though it's probably visa and mastercard).
The transparency is appreciated, but perhaps a tad more please?

Turns out that if you invite friends over to play local multiplayer everyone DOES still want to do it even when youโ€™re 37

Just gotta actually plan it
