Alien Pixels From Outer Space Release Date

Well, here we go! After over a month of solo work on this, I am proud to announce the release date of Alien Pixels From Outer Space! Before getting to that, though, I have something to share about my history with game development. This is going to come as a shock, but....

Alien Pixels From Outer Space is actually the second game I've developed. Yeah, you read that right. My first game was a broken mess, though, so I'm not going to include it on this blog. The collision detection didn't work very well at all, in part due to the fact that it was developed in Game Maker Studio 2. There have been some great games made in Game Maker Studio, such as Undertale and Hyper Light Drifter, but it also has some problems that hold it back from being a serious engine, in my opinion. But that's a discussion for another time.

Where am I going with this? Well, Alien Pixels From Outer Space may be the second game I've made, but it's the first one I can say I'm proud of. Even if it is just a Space Invaders clone. I am planning to remake my first game in Unity, and expand it past what I had originally done with it. Stay tuned for information on that!

So, without further ado, the release date of Alien Pixels From Outer Space is.....

So, it's time to start this whole game dev blogging thing

First post, woooo! Hi, folks! I'm Kevin! From the first time I ever held a controller, all the way up to the present, I've had a passion for video games. I also love programming, and have a Bachelor's degree in Applied Computer Science. Now, I'm setting out on a journey to achieve a dream I've had for years: to work in the video game industry as a gameplay programmer. But, like most dreams, this is not achieved overnight. I need to develop a portfolio to get noticed in this industry. That is the purpose of this blog. Here, I will keep a record of my projects currently in development, and links to where you can play the games in my portfolio, once completed. I plan to post updates at least once a week. More frequent, if possible. Keep an eye out, and subscribe to be notified of updates on my journey into the world of game development!

I HAVE RETURNED!!! Why I've been quiet these past couple weeks, and an update on my next project

Yeah, I know. I said I would update at least once a week. Then Alien Pixels From Outer Space released, and no updates after that until now. The reason for this is that there just hasn't been much of note to talk about since then. I kind of took a break due to fatigue after the last push to get the game out. Well, I'm back to it, and about to start my next project. Sorry about not communicating that I was taking a break. I'm still a bit new to the whole blogging thing, and honestly forgot about it for a couple weeks. I'll make a better effort to keep you guys updated in the future. My next project is based on something I made during a Ludum Dare in the Spring of 2017. I worked hard on it, but ended up with something that was really incomplete. The collision detection was terrible. It was either non-existent or objects were getting stuck on each other. Both of these extremes manifested themselves in the same build, and I couldn't figure out how to make it work prope
