Sorry about that VI: The Beginning of the End

Oliolli — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:57:29 +0000

300 days. 300 days since Sorry about that, and “a few weeks until the release”. 42 weeks and 6 days. That is around 14 times longer than I thought. 322 days from the previous release. Now… It is finally out. Dwarf Fortress 0.34.01 has been released. I won’t start the [...]

Landmine Crusade has a website!

Nanofus — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:15:06 +0000

Guess what. For the last few days I’ve been working on Landmine Crusade. It was about time, the last edit to the source was from 1,5 months ago. First thing I did was fixing the bug that had dispirited me back then. I had made a great combat AI for [...]

A Lesson in Chemistry

Nanofus — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:22:03 +0000

Time for another minigame with a weird theme. This one is called A Lesson in Chemistry. It’s sort of a sequel to ALiPhysics. That means I drew the graphics during a chemistry lesson. See, I do stuff like this when I should be studying. Well, anyway, download it here: And [...]

New Year and Nazi Roaches

Nanofus — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 12:59:56 +0000

So. It’s New Year’s Eve. And I thought that I should write a post, because everyone seems to write something on this day. The subject of this post? Nope, not Landmine Crusade. I promised an open beta a while ago but I sort of have a writer’s block (game dev’s [...]

Hey! Listen!

Nanofus — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 22:19:25 +0000

How are you, ladies and gentlemen? Merry almost-Christmas. This time I finally took part in Ludum Dare game making competition. My game is called Ego Sum, after a long-dead project. I can’t remember why it died, though. Anyway, you can find the game here. The game tells the story of [...]

Wait what

Nanofus — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 14:20:06 +0000

…Wait a second, not a single post after the beginning of October. I’m fixing that right now. Well, what should I write about. Probably Landmine Crusade, because I’m sure that’s the only reason you readers are here. Well, I’ve once again been both busy with schoolwork and lazy, which may [...]

A Lesson. In Physics.

Nanofus — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 14:05:12 +0000

We had a physics lesson in the morning. And for some reason I drew a worm on the cover of my notebook. And then scanned it. And scanned also my homework. And made a game out of them. The goal of the game is to survive. To survive as long [...]

Sorry About That V: The Rise of a New Order

Oliolli — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 18:07:43 +0000

Time, Dear reader? Is it really that time again? It seems as if you only just arrived. Chances are that is exactly what happened. Unless by the time anyone reads this multiple other posts have been made. It has now been 40 days since part IV, meaning a total of [...]

Crafting and shooting

Nanofus — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 20:50:23 +0000

Hi, everybody. It’s been a bit quiet lately, that’s because I’ve been quite busy with all sorts of important stuff. But fear not, my friend. I’ve made some significant improvements to Landmine Crusade, even though I’ve not written about them. I added a Metroid-style visor that can be used to [...]

Landminecrusadeoid: Other V(ideo)

Nanofus — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 18:54:52 +0000

Worst title in a long time. Anyway, I uploaded a new test video of Landmine Crusade. The AI has improved a lot, there is now a HUD and resolution options, new (but still not final) graphics, sounds and music, bug fixes, 3d buildings, a working level transition, cutscenes, primary and [...]

Sorry About That IV: Kartha’el’s Revenge

Oliolli — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 18:19:06 +0000

Well here we are again. Yes, it’s that time again. 34 days from part III, meaning a total of 120 days form “a few weeks”. The newest Dwarf Fortress update is upcoming, and a story may eventually be written. There are still a few things in the way. Most importantly, [...]

Nice things happening in the world.

Snowie — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 17:06:55 +0000

Hello again, you lovely readers. I am here to promote you something noble: The Humble Indie Bundle, which is yet another thing our magnificent ruler (his words) constantly promotes to me. So, the Humble Indie Bundle is a pack of games. I am new to this whole thing, but I [...]

Have you tried Allied Star Police yet?

Nanofus — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 14:34:19 +0000

I’ve been thinking about writing some game reviews here, because posts about my game projects might not appear very often. So, here’s the first one. Allied Star Police is a nice strategy game for iOS by PopCap and ten-year-old Owain Weinert, who has leukemia. This co-operation was made possible by [...]

Sorry about that III: The Myconid Rebellion

Oliolli — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 10:40:20 +0000

As it turns out, it has been approximately 46 days from Sorry about that II. That is 86 days from “a few weeks”. Around three months. Toady One is still working on Dwarf Fortress 0.31.26, and no-one has any idea when it will be ready. I am anxiously awaiting it. [...]

Termina Dreaming

Vaehran — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 10:44:42 +0000

Before I start the article itself, I should probably introduce myself. I am Vaehran, another guy who had Nano.fi posting rights shoved in his hands. That because I am a not-that-longtime friend of our – hm – benevolent ruler, and an awesome guy, too.[citation needed] Plus, I had even known [...]
