J.A.C.A.L.S.

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

JACALS is not the next great mindblowing sequel from a pretentious AAA multinational.

It is not the result of years of work by a hundred people at a dozen different subcontractors grinding along trying to make enough money to be able to try out their own ideas on the next project.

It is Just Another Cheap-A## Little Shooter that I’ve been working on in my spare time. It doesn’t really even have the basics yet; its a playable demo that’s good for relieving stress by shooting lots of bad guys. The gore, the non-braindead AI, even the save system and career mode will all come later. I like it enough to want to work on it full time, and I hope you like it enough to play it over and over and watch it improve as you do.

Wander

Wander is first person explorer. Not survival, just looking for useful stuff, you know, like you do at the beginning of a 4X game before it gets all hairy and micromanaged. I thought approaching the explore thing from a local perspective instead of the usual top-down strategic overview, might be an interesting take on an old genre.

Stroll

Stroll is just a walk in the park. A way to relax and unwind after a hard day shooting bad guys.

Target Practice

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Target practice was my first attempt. It’s only here because I get nostalgic sometimes and wanted to look back at it now and then. It’s a basic third- or first-person shooter (depending on version) and there’s nobody to shoot back, just a bunch of targets. In some levels the targets were right there and the idea was to see how fast you could knock them down; in other levels the challenge was just to find the things.
