Omvorm Patch Notes v1.1
So that game we made in like 2 weeks has finally had a much-needed update. The first of maybe two more updates. Glorious stuff.

Undead Blackout: Reanimated Edition Has Launched On Steam
After twelve months of dicking around and wasting time on boring “actual life stuff”, finally I have had the time to actually get Undead Blackout to the point I would like it to be at. This means I have rushed it onto Steam in time for the Summer Sale and while it still needs a…

4MBlog: Looking Back At ‘Rescue On Fractulus’
Rescue On Fractulus was released in 1984 by LucasFilm Games, who would of course go on to become Lucasarts Entertainment.

Undead Blackout Is Not Totally Dead Just Yet

Galactic Defence Squadron Has Been Updated
Galactic Defence Squadron was smashed together in just two weeks back in October 2016. It is a great little arcade space shooter featuring some truly excellent music and an endless supply of enemies to destroy. Since then it has sat on the App Store and Google Play in its unoptimised and very rough condition –…
