Piron Games Insider

We fix shit before it happens :p

Crin Antonescu, invitat la ProTV, la “Dupa 20 de ani”, e intrebat de moderator cat de morala si etica e alianta cu Becali si de ce e important George “Gigi” Becali pentru USL. Raspunsul (citat aproximativ): “Becali e important pentru ca dvs. l’ati facut important. Toata media l’a facut important”

ProTV ar trebui sa fie ultima institutie de media care sa puna intrebari despre etica din politica, in conditiile in care etica lor a plecat la scufundari in Groapa Marianelor. Da, despre promovarea la stiri, “pe bani”, a lui Becali e vorba.

Insider jokes, true stories

The Gold Candidate

Migration of the Game Developers (In Romanian, from the days when Bucharest was too small for so many mobile game dev companies )

So, in the age of VPNs, darknets, SSL and 200 megapixels cameras, spies are still smuggling classified papers in briefcases?

Now, seriously?

The Hug-Fest (less hugs, more action please).

…because we were too lazy to test the game past act 2 inferno before we released the game.

Knight and Witch (formerly MageSteel), my fantasy-themed physics puzzle, has been released and may be played on the Piron Games portal.

If you get stuck, the walkthrough is here.

Because I was asked if I could share the assets of Orbital Decay and since I don’t plan to make Orbital Decay 2, at least not in this 2D form, here are the graphics, sounds, strings and gameplay files used, all in one package:

Orbital Decay Data

I’m afraid there’s no easy way to present these because the game’s pretty complex, however, feel free to ask and I’ll be happy to help.

In the sprites folder, there are a bunch of  “.xsprite” files. These are sprite definition files used by an internal tool, which won’t be publicly released. But feel free to ask and I’ll explain the format

As for the code, I’m afraid it will not be released in the near future, if ever. Main reason is that the game was sponsored and, even if the game was released 3 years ago, the sponsor won’t be happy to see source code floating around (competition, eh). Also, I’m not able to offer support for a possible source code release, as I already have a bunch of open source projects, and because the source code is based on an ever-changing internal library which requires way to much work in order to “beautify” it for a public release.

A first look of MageSteel – The Riddles of Fire and Steel, a physics puzzle that I’ve just finished developing and that will be released in the next couple of months.
