  Yay yeah he is! I remember playing Icy Tower for hours! [1]. Love his game designs and aesthetics. If I get it right, I first came in contact with his work when I was learning allegro [2], but TBH I'm not sure now. I think he used to use allegro in some of his games! 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icy_Tower https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icy_Tower 2: https://www.allegro.cc/ https://www.allegro.cc/

    Aw thanks! Yes, allegro was my first foray in to making games in c. Used it extensively 98-02 iirc. :)

      I spent countless hours on Icy Tower and Operation Spacehog. Thanks for those. :) I'll also have to admit I stole a sprite or two from Spacehog for my own little horizontal space shooter as a teenager, hehe...

        Haha, youre welcome. Hope you put the sprites to good use!

          I had a tendency to not finish most games I started, as my approach to game development was rather unstructured. This was one of those unfinished games. Looking at it 16 years later, it's quite a few sprites that I copied :D https://sagagames.de/bilder/screenshots/fruit4.png https://sagagames.de/bilder/screenshots/fruit4.png I wasn't very graphically inclined, so most of the graphics in that screenshot were actually lifted from a handful of games (which were mentioned in the credits of course). At least the spaceships and enemies I drew myself (which shows)... The screenshot shows a randomly generated endless level. I started building a level editor but that was the point where I stopped developing that game. So, not sure I put it to good use. But it was a lot of fun. :)
