Sparks and Dust 2

I started work on Sparks and Dust 2 (which I called, for a time, Altar of Isaac) sometime in the Fall of 2009, after releasing Sparks and Dust.

My current design is really big and ambitious. I guess I'm kind of thinking of it in vaguely Castlevania 3 ways, as a long, multi-character journey through countrysides with high quality platforming and a narrative core. Alternatively, I might take it more in a Super Metroid kind of direction. It's really big for a Flash game.

I'm definitely going to get some of my smaller games out before returning to it, though.

About ice cream breakfast:

This site contains independent games, art, code, music, and game development lectures and writing by Nathan McKenzie (who formerly worked on Soldier of Fortune, Quake 4, Heretic 2, and other titles) . I'm interested in radically cheap game development, procedural content generation, image-based rendering, image-based 3D in Flash, and educational game designs targetting hardcore gamers.

What Not to Miss:

• With all due modesty, my flash First Person Shooter is some of the most impressive 3D in flash you're likely to find. Or check an overview of all my 3d flash rendering techniques and experiments.
• There's a lot I'm proud of in my demonstration of Violent Educational Games, too
• If you find number theory and prime numbers interesting, my number theory work is pretty clever, I think.

What I'm Working On:

• I'm putting the finishing touches on Shimmer Paint right now.
• I'm also continuing to work on Incarius
• I'm also putting in work on Restless Dreams:Feral
