It's been quite awhile. Looking back at my previous posts, this will go out 3 years after my previous update post. I'll get down to it.
I'm looking to get back into game development as a hobby. Seeing how times have changed quite a bit, as Flash will soon be unsupported or whatever, it'll be interesting in the new year. I've started my jump back into development by taking a look at old projects, and improving and changing them as I see fit. It's great for me, as I see I've learned a lot from developing stuff back in 2015. I'm hoping looking at how I've done things in the past, and changing and improving them, will allow me to get back in and learn some new languages since Flash is probably not the best platform to develop for. Understanding how it all works will hopefully help me in moving over to a better medium (looking into webGL currently).
Anyways, since I'm improving my old games, I'll be publishing them once again. Since it's been roughly 2-3 years since some have been updated, I plan on releasing them as "new" remastered versions, so I won't mess up the leaderboards or achievements of the older games.
Electric Rubber 2 will be the first game to be remastered. It will be released tomorrow, the 31st, to the portal. It'll go by the name "Current Tycoon" to match the branding and logos associated with the mobile release years ago, as I'm building the update from that version of the game. I've not yet decided if I will remove the original game from the portal, or if I'll leave it up. I'll probably figure that out a little after releasing it tomorrow.
Anyways, a new game will be released tomorrow. I am also looking into remastering the original Electric Rubber, but it is a lot messier than I remember. After remaking a few games and getting the hang of things again, I'll see about publishing a new title or something, as I've thought up a few cool ideas.
Happy end of 2018!
