About

My name is George Hemingway and I'm an independent game developer from Melbourne / Australia. My first blog post is a good place to learn a little about myself: C64, C++, Drumming, BJJ, and my 12 Month Game Challenge. You may also want to read Connected Worlds which tackles my nostalgia for arcade games, Rastan Saga, Streetfighter 2 and fish'n chips!

I recently released a beta version of Postbug which is a retro inspired digging game. Postbug will have you eating bugs, dodging spiders, breaking webs, pushing boulders, diving underwater, and left in the dark praying those noises are just your imagination... Command a swarm of killer bees into battle against the spiders, or do whatever it takes to survive the most dangerous mail run in town!

Special thanks to Joseph Hemingway who has been invaluable with technical and game design advice. Mate, if only we had enough time to implementall of our ideas :-P

Postbug was developed in C# and compiled into Javascript using the Saltarelle Compiler. You can read more about this technology in Postbug Technical Overview: Compiling C# to Javascript.
