Today's Score Medal video. This level is called Sweep, and it's pretty easy! www.youtube.com/shorts/ytTZk...

I just finished recording all these medal guides today and can confirm the last levels on the hard route are indeed hard, especially the final boss who is a complete BASTARD!

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Can I show off the best parts of the game I'm making in less than 1 minute? yes I can 🥰 "Torasu" - a love letter to NES Gyruss

busy day! I've fixed and updated Son of Scoregasm so it runs in Offline mode on Steam, been working on a C interface for online scores and am now making fireworks for a long overdue update to Bullet Candy, a game that is now 20 years old! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU2p...

What do people use for non-steam leaderboards these days? Are there any good cheap/free services you'd recommend?

@gamingonlinux.com Hey, I've just updated my game Son of Scoregasm to run on modern Linuxes and Steam Deck and thought i'd mention it to you as you reviewed/liked the game when it released. Good to see GamingOnLinux is still going strong! store.steampowered.com/app/631490/S...

I've been recording a series of guides for Son of Scoregasm showing how to get the score medals. First one is now up. New video every day, which gives me month to get the medal on the Cave level which is a total git. Subscribe here www.youtube.com/@charliesgames www.youtube.com/shorts/F2aLp...

I have once more blogged: charliemakesthings.com/2026/06/08/s... A major compatibility and bux fix update for Son of Scoregasm, and some future plans for the game.

The duality of game dev is absolute joy at the number of cool games coming out, and abject fear at the number of cool games coming out.

UK folks, let's jump on this AI regulation petition the Society of Authors emailed out! It's an actual parliament one so the government HAS to respond if it reaches the signature threshold. It calls for regulations to make AI developers disclose copyrighted works trained on. Sign & repost!! ❤️

I take that back! 0.4% of global players have got that score medal. Well done them!

Ive been recording some video of Son of scoregasm for a series of YT shorts covering how to get the score medals. One of them i'm pretty sure was impossible to get. Oops! Sorry to anyone who was trying to get that achievement at any point in the last 9 years. 😬

anyway, the new mac build is now live on Steam (select the publicBeta version). If anyone fancies giving it, or any of the other versions a try to see if it works i have a few spare keys.

I've not looked at integrating the gamecenter stuff yet. Im guessing mac users don't really use steam much, so gamecenter/ma app store would be the best way to get the game in front of mac users?? who knows?

That said, it's just a steam version, which disables a lot of maccy things.

Xcode is definitely better than it was. I remember spending days trying to get stuff to work but got Son of Scoregasm running as a universal binary on my arm macbook in a couple of hours.

i used to just release a game every few weeks, nbd. feels different now. it’s been a while, and this is a big one. hope you like it.

Today I will be taking delivery of a new Windows 11 laptop. I haven't bought a windows machine since Windows 7 was new, so I imagine in the intervening years they've fixed all the bugs and made it'd much nicer and less distracting to use. Everything's going to be great! #Windows11

I suspect nobody reads blogs anymore, but it feels quite a nice way to get ideas out of the head and into reality.

Torasu Warp 9 is finally done! Can say the game is 25% done. Yay milestone! 🎉 Goal is ~36 warps (5 stage bosses and a final boss). Here's short clips showing what I can in 3 minutes. Wish me luck on my future work 🤞🤞 (currently uploading full vid to youtube)

I've a few test codes if anyone is interested in trying the beta.

I am programming in bed. It is excellent!

Putting together a new website as my old one has been hijacked. In adding a trivia section to the pages for my old games, i found the full indie game lineup available on Steam circa mid - 2007. web.archive.org/web/20071208... It's pretty sparse ha!
