I did this guy on April Fool’s Day in response to this story about Charles Darwin a friend IM’ed me about. “What’s a Grampus? Is that like a sasquatch of the sea?”, I replied. I imagined it as some kind of walrus-bear thing, so here he is in fat pixels.

I’ve since learned that they were probably referring to an orca, not a mythical beast as I had hoped.

My wife bought a large-size magnetic poetry set today and this is what my 8yo daughter wrote. I really want to make a game about sun girl and plant boy.

#1GAM January Achieved! Whizardry: Wanderer

There were 1052(!) games made in January for One Game A Month, and I am very happy to have my little game included in the lot. I’m also very happy with how it turned out, in spite of not quite becoming the game I hoped to make at the start. I had plans to develop my little tech demo into a complete dungeon crawler with at least a couple monsters to hack at, but alas I didn’t get to it in time. Regardless, I’m pretty happy with it and at the final hour I did come up with the idea of finding the exit in the least possible number of moves (either steps forward/back or turns). A simple goal, a simple mechanic, and simple to implement.
