Attention Convention
I just ate the most delicious meal of Bojangles I’ve ever had.

It helped that I hadn’t had anything to eat yet so I was extra hungry.

Over the past few months, I’ve been alluding to almost being at a major milestone for Karma Riot. Well, we finally hit that milestone: phase 1 complete! Actually, we hit it a month ago, but then I had to talk about Global Game Jam while it was fresh.

Mash Buttons Until Death
Hey guys. I created another short crappy game recently that I figured I’d post about. The game is called "Mash Buttons Until Death" or MaBUD for short. You can check out the Games page for it if you are interested in getting more information on the game and why it is so crappy.

BitmapToTiles
I’ve been doing a lot of work lately on homemade content tools for Karma Riot. It’s really rewarding to create a tool and see it working, especially since I know other people can get the benefit from it too. Today, I’d like to go over some of the tools I’ve made for creating race tracks.

Big changes
The astute observer will realize that I failed to update Dueling Monkeys in the month of August. This is not because I didn’t have enough to talk about, but rather that I had way too much to talk about. There has been some big life changes lately that I will chronicle here for you.

October update
So my life is pretty busy these days, you might have picked up on that in the last post. I’ve settled into my apartment in Dallas and so far everything is pretty nice here. Work is going good so far, but I’ll save the details for later. I’ve done some exciting stuff recently and I need to tell you about it before it’s too late!

All about the games
I still haven’t gotten around to putting up a games page link for Brixplorer – sorry! I’ll do by best to correct that for next month but if you just want to download the game with minimal explanation or screenshots, you can get it at the Triangle Game Jam webpage.
