Turns out there were some problems with GearHead2 version 0.700, uploaded yesterday. It crashes on Windows, contains a spelling error, and I even forgot to update the version number on the title screen again. A new release that fixes all of these problems has been uploaded to GitHub. Sorry for the inconvenience.

More GearHead2 Thoughts
Sorry for the silence- it’s been a busy couple of months. I’ve been playing through GearHead-2 again. Tonight, my character Hawk finally earned the respect of his criminal space trucker rival. One of the things that makes GearHead-2 very different from GearHead-1 is the scale. In GH1, you will travel between a small number of …

GearHead2 New Shopping Interface
I’ve ported the new GH1 SDL shopping interface to GH2. A few things still need to be modified- the item images don’t show up yet because the GH1 code I copied and pasted doesn’t use them, and the descriptions for some item types don’t seem to be working right. Next stop: the character creation and …

The Problems of GearHead2
So I’ve started playing GearHead2. In certain ways, GH2 is much more advanced than GH1. In other ways, it’s a giant mess. Most of GH2’s problems are the direct result of my not having clear goals. My first intention was for GH2 to encompass the entire GearHead universe, planet by planet. However, instead of deciding …

Plain Walls and GH2 Thoughts
There’s a wall type in GearHead that is described simply as “Wall”, and now it has a fancy new sprite. Well, maybe not fancy, but what do you expect for the most generic wall in the game? I’ve been thinking about the improvements to GH1 that I need to port to GH2. I think my …

Being a Cavalier
Cavaliers are the wandering adventurers of the GearHead universe. The only things you need to join their ranks are a mecha and a blatant disregard for your own personal safety. Being a cavalier is more than simply being a pilot; it is a way of life, a statement of personal freedom, and quite often a …
