Attack of the Meeplings is the next game from Tiny Frog Software. It’s a Neo-Retro shooter that will be played in the browser. Aside from being your typical shoot ‘em-up, it’s going to be an infinite shooter with waves looping over and over and getting faster and harder until you finally succumb - Yes it’s […]

If you know me in Real Life you probably know that I only buy and wear black socks. This seems strange to some people at first, but I would like to take the time to say why it is actually a very elegant solution.
I few years ago I got feed up with trying to find […]

It’s been a while since I posted a free game, so I thought I’d mention the game that is largely responsible for inspiring Caverns of Underkeep
That game is Castle of the Winds - A graphical roguelike made by Rick Saada and published in 1989! That’s right, the game is nearly 20 years old, and […]

It’s probably a little premature to be posting these images as I’ve only been working on the game for about a day and a half, but I thought I’d share some mock-ups of my neo-retro shooter
Due sometime in March (hopefully)

It should be noted that these are not screenshots, but mockups made in paint.net

I just finished a play through of the game with a friend and I have a page long list full of (mostly easy) changes to make, it’s funny how much stuff you can simply forget. Stuff that you fully intended to do (and have written the code for) but you just forget to hook it […]
