It’s good to have Cannon Brawl back in my life and I’m excited to be able to play a strategy game with my kids that they can pick up and not be overwhelmed with while enjoying it myself.

I’m not sure if I would have ever put an RTS game into a “relaxing” category of gaming, but here we are.

I’ve said it before that I don’t really like competitive games, but there’s something to the formula they’ve got going on here that I really enjoy playing.

I’m not good at RTSs and that makes me sad because I really enjoy them. I was excited when Meridian:

I’ll be the first to admit that just watching the video on Steam was completely underwhelming and didn’t really sell

-(5/1/22) Somehow an old version of M1.5 saved over my current version(which makes no sense as I didn’t keep any old saves). All current code/pixel art/level progress is now gone and I don’t have the heart to start all of that again yet. I’m still pretty upset.
-(4/20/22)When I finish 40 levels of Mazungeon v1.5 I’ll put that up on the Scirra Arcade like I did the first game so people can try it out and give me feedback. I’m having issues with saves and load currently. That’s the biggest hurdle. I’ve got a few levels to hammer out, but the saving and loading is the biggest issue I want to fix before showing it off. I’d say this could happen in about a month / mid May. I’ll post a link when I can.
-While patching my first game Mazungeon, I broke it so it’s off the store. You can see on the site what it was like when it worked. You can play a previous version here.
-Thank you to all developers and PR people who make this wild ride possible. It is a pleasure!
