Hospital Anomaly Tactics – Day 1
It’s time for roguetemple’s fortnight or, well, it’s been for over one week already. My first idea to participate was kind of fuzzy; I imagined a traditional roguelike represented as a Muisca stone painting; I even implemented the foundations of it in Unity, and wondered a bit about how it…

Horns of Dominion – Day 6
I invested some good time playing the game and building a list of stuff to improve both the UX and the gameplay; I’m afraid and sad that I won’t be able to fit all of that into the 13kb. At the same time this reminds me the merits of js13kgames…

漢字読み方 (kanji yomikata) – day 4
I decided to make a small tool to help me study for my Japanese kanji exams, you can find it at https://slashie.net/kanjidrill/ The way it works is, you upload a dictionary of kanji expressions including the kanji, the furigana, and the meaning, and then it’s going to shoot random questions at you…

Today’s my kanji exam! so I decided to add two features missing from yesterday: Allow uploading JSON files with the dictionaries so it’s easier to share and use for future lessons (and other languages than English for the meanings, I already create a Spanish bundle for classmates) Allow drawing kanji…

Horns of Dominion – Day 3 – Allegiance
Back to gameplay, the idea today was to add a “loyalty” subsystem so that the cities could rebel against occupiers based on their original allegiance; the idea was you needed to pacify the cities you conquer by standing armies there, else they would tend to rebel back into their original…

Horns of Dominion – Day 2
The next step on developing it was to improve the visuals so that the scene was less abstract; the first pass didn’t go very well, but my direction was pretty bad too.
