A new home for my Megaman games

One of my other hobbies has been creating video games, in particular a couple of Megaman fan games. These were created in Gamemaker several years back, run on Windows, and have been updated over the years. They were originally stored on Yoyo Games (the creators of Gamemaker), but they got rid of their "sandbox" area for developers late last year as they switched to a different business model which is... less conducive to hobbyist game developers.

I then decided to put the games up on Google Drive, where they still exist, but I also recently found another website that freely hosts indie games and hobbyist games - gamejolt.com

A link is provided below.

If you search on "Megaman," you'll find the latest version of both games ("Megaman: Dr. Wily Wanders Off" and "Megaman: Dark Legacy") You probably have to create an account with gamejolt to download the games (fully self-contained executable files under 5 megs in size.)

Megaman: Dr. Wily Wanders Off

Megaman: Dark Legacy

Note that Megaman and all associated IP is the rights of Capcom. These are fan games and not to be sold. Enjoy!

Glen Burnie Whiteout

I generally don't paint urban scenes since they are tricky in matters of perspective, detail, and scale, but this image, inspired by yesterday's weather, begged to be painted. Wind-blow snow roars through the center of downtown Glen Burnie, MD on a cold February night, obscuring everything for the few drivers on the roads.

Fiery Winter Sunset

A blazing winter sunset sweeps across a snowy field and through a few small groves of trees, adding a warm glow to a frozen scene.

Cliffside snowfall

Somewhere in the mountains, morning light falls on fresh snow amid the rocky cliffs and rugged pines. Frozen mist lies in the valley, as the warm sun bathes the distance peaks.

Early November Snow

Winter has come early to parts of the nation, sometimes even before the leaves have fully fallen. Here, in the forest, we walk amid the last of the fall color as the first snowfall coats the ground and trees.

Windy Autumn Sky

Autumn is rolling on in this part of the world, and an earlier start faded away amid a few warm weeks. Yesterday, cold air swept through the region, marking winter's eventual arrival. The trees above shed their colorful leaves as the chilly wind blows.

Bombardment of Fort McHenry

This weekend marks the 200th anniversary of our nation's national anthem and the attack upon Fort McHenry here in Maryland. In honor of that event, here we see the bombardment of the fort, illuminated by the fires, shells, and rockets' red glare.
