I will be retiring the game “Scamper Fields” shortly with all client downloads no longer being available at itch.io anymore and the entire backend system will be shut down.

Tentative data for concluding the action is the 31st of July, 2023.

Together with an upcoming server move a lot of older software is being cleaned up.

UPDATE: The old Micah Koleoso Software server with all backends has been shutdown. A new website will become available with this domain soon.

UPDATE #2: The domain is available again at the new location.

The server at https://micahkoleososoftware.com willl be down for host maintenance from the 31.05.2023 23:00 hours to 01.06.2023 08:00 hours CET but the application servers will only be back up later in the day.

This affects mainly the Scamper Fields backend but some other smaller services will be offline for a bit.

The hoster for the site micahkoleososoftware.com is moving their servers, including mine hosted at the address above, to a new server infrastructure all next week, from the 04.07.2022 to 09.07.2022. This will impact availability of some of my servers, for example the backend for Scamper Fields and some internal development infrastructure.

I’d joined the GBA Winter Jam 2021 running from the 1st December 2021 to 1st January 2022. The (optional) theme for the jam was “Frozen”.

It’s a game jam to create a game capable of running on the original Game Boy Advance console as well as an appropriate emulator. In this case, I’m using the mGBA emulator during development and testing on an original GBA using a flash card.

The game was developed using Butano (C++) with Visual Studio Code, graphics were done with Aseprite and GIMP, SFX and music are missing, source control provided with Git. Output and download will be a gba file in a page link given below.

My plan was to provide the final state of the game as a gba file for the flashing to a GBA or use in an emulator through a page here. Due to the protoype missing much what makes a game, including music and SFX, I won’t be providing a page at itch.io for it, but the GitHub archive, project resources and assets are available now in the page above.

I participated in the Vampire Game Jam October 2021 with my brother, Chris, and we submitted our entry “Anubis” which you can look at and download here on its game page.

It was made with Unity, Photoshop and Gimp, Blender and using Trello and Git for management. We released the Jam build as a Windows executable although we had initially planned to do it as a WebGL version. This didn’t work out due to scaling issues between the Itch.io app and Unity, though the performance and everything else was good in the browser.

I’ll making a self-hosted WebGL build here to see if that doesn’t have the problems we encountered during the Jam.

Edit: The bug has been fixed and an upload v1.2 of the game is now available.

Currently, the Linux version of the game is in development to v0.4preAlpha. Specifically, I’m working on integrating the bullet physics engine into the game to enhance the experience driving and flying the units. I also expect benefits to the ray-casting and collision handling.

The development page for the game “Nordic Blaze” is now up here. There you will find more information on the game and its development status.

The game was started, but not finished, during the LOWREZJAM 2020, but there is still a lot I would like to put into it before calling it done.

You can download the most current Windows and Linux releases at itch.io. The FreeBSD version is available on the game page here. I plan to make an official package in FreeBSD, and perhaps other BSD operating systems, once the game is released.

Hey,

if you’re looking to export hierachical scene definitions out of Unity or Blender, check out my public GitHub repositories with some files which may help with that:

Hi all, it’s the time of the year for the LOWREZJAM 2020 and i’m planning to participate, as it’s a good time frame. It’s running until the 17th, and I have some ideas for tools I want to try out this time. I might also be getting some help with the graphics which would be great for the art quality.

Stay tuned for details on the tech and team as the time draws nearer.
