• Update loops, physics and render. [Touch of Technical] - 4 November 2025

  Doing side questsThis will be long!A few weeks ago I started working a bit on the next version of the "engine" I have been using for making A Ruthless World (ARW). I got it rolling by branching the engine in git and starting a new project by copying ARW and minimizing it down to a barebones project that goes through boot->menus->level01->level02.Interestingly when going over and minimizing what was included I found all sorts of small bits and pieces to fix/improve and now have a good list of things I can later move over to the old engine as well, improving the upcoming release of ARW.Getting stuck in a time loopA main area of interest was reviewing and trying to improve the game update loop. This is the loop that runs with physics, game logic and render updates.The current version runs using a requestAnimationFrame, which is the standard approach to running a loop that needs to sync nic…

• Bats, toxic waste and dangerous dark caverns. - 15 October 2025

  Another level completedTook a break from ARW during the summer, but since a few weeks been back at it. Last time I posted an ARW update, I showed the top of a new level that I had done some early work on. Here is the full, finished level!In earlier levels a factory spewing waste has been seen, and in this level we find ourselves below the underground waste lake that has formed. Some levels in ARW have a touch of horror feel to them, this would be one of them. Quite dark and filled with some dangers to avoid, while solving puzzles to continue on with the adventure.Ba wary of bats hanging in the ceiling, if to close they'll drop down and start to chase you. If close enough, they are a ticking bomb.No skinny dipping in the waste puddles.Some dark places might have additional, hungry, creatures lurking.Onto the next level! Time to introduce a character only previously mentioned in various s…

• Beat dancing tutorial - 28 March 2025

  Quick video of a tutorial teaching the player how to make use of a power-up soon to be acquired. Make some sweet moves to unlock the container storing the power-up.

• Demo update - 14 March 2025

  As development of the full game has been ongoing, fixes, updates and improvements have been made to many areas. As some affect the content available in the demo, it seemed like a good idea to release a new version of the demo. In particular the game controller support got many improvements. See the Gamepads, gamepads & gamepads blog for details. Player jumping has been improved to be more predictable and reliable. The tutorial for how to use the first power up has been re-worked to be a better integrated part of the solution for solving that particular level predicament. Please let me know if you have any issues using a game controller to play the game. Also of interest would be to know if there are any issues using a Steam deck.

• Gamepads, gamepads & gamepads - 21 February 2025

  Sidetracking extravaganza with gamepads this past week. Originally started a check to make sure that using a gamepad was working well when solving a particular puzzle. While doing this, I noticed a bug with the gamepad and started to work on fixing it. This led to taking a thorough review and improvement tour of the gamepad implementation. Three out of seven different controllers used while testing. Good to have been a gamer for many years... I managed to search the house and find seven different controllers. Oldest models being a Playstation 2 replica from Logitech, SNES controller replica (8BitDo) and a XBox 360 controller. The most modern I (kids rather, but don't tell them) had was a XBox Series X controller and a Nintendo Switch Pro. Thanks to browsers having a quite solid Gamepad API, most gamepads work as intended even though there is no 100% standard set for what a gamepad sends…

• Harvest enemy movement into power - 31 January 2025

• Mini-Boss Fight - 6 December 2024

  While adventure platforming is a joy in itself, at times a little shoot 'em up isn't wrong. A first of more to come was completed a few weeks ago. Work continues towards a release in 2025.

• Experience A Ruthless World - 1 October 2024

• Long overdue progress report - 23 August 2024

  A Ruthless World While work with the game ARW has been intense, the progress reports have been lacking. It seems the last report was posted back in October 2023! ARW has not been dead, after doing a another game in a game jam in October, updated Hive P v. S in November, ARW was again the main focus in December 2023 and beyond. Change of direction Originally ARW was more of a puzzle game, with emphasize on solving and being fast. Each level ending with a summary of how many objects collected and the time it took. ARW has changed to be more of an adventure platformer, a game where you explore and meet friends and foes. Each level remains a puzzle to solve, but the idea is to create puzzles that are something to tinker with and not so much being difficult to solve. Some parts will perhaps be a bit scary, some will be nice and cozy. There are characters to meet, notes and terminals to use f…

• A Ruthless World Stream - 30 April 2024
