Writing style

I'm not really very happy with my current writing style, it just doesn't flow well. My reviews are currently in the format of sections dedicated to story, gameplay, design, graphics & art and sfx & music. It may work for some sites but I want to write reviews that will hold someone's attention and don't sound boring and impersonal.

I'm working on fixing it but it may take a while for me to work it out.

Scourge of Tethys Updates

Over the last few weeks I've been working on updates for Scourge of Tethys. It's now sitting at V1.03 Major things I've added is a main menu theme by z0diakk, an online scoreboard, being able to play with a gamepad and a pause function. I've also added some small tweaks to the difficulty and controls so the game is more balanced. You can buy it from itch.io as pay what you want: http://jon-dog.itch.io/scourge-of-tethys It can also be played online at Kongregate & Gamejolt . I'm going to be doing a few more updates to the game over the next few weeks while trying to start a new project. Here's the full list of changes since the original release:

Working on Super Mansion Quest again

Over the last few weeks I've been working on Super Mansion Quest, just so I could play around with making some guns in it. So far it's gone pretty well, I'm really enjoying working on it again.

The rifle is cool because o...
