The Death of Spiderbite

Spiderbite
A browser game made in HTML5

You know, for a long time I didn't really want to admit that Spiderbite was dead. I know it isn't exactly game of the year, but I learned a lot making it. It was my first real game, the first one that actually made me proud. In fact,  I still think it's my best work.    My original plan was to continually update Spiderbite with little additions, allowing it to snowball from something good into something great. However, after finishing the 1.0 update, my computer finally gave up the ghost. I hadn't made any backups, and the game just kind of sputtered and died.

Don't get me wrong, just because Spiderbite is done doesn't mean that I'm done making games. In fact, I have something very special in store for the future. Expect it sometime by the new year, depending on how long it takes me to iron things out and drum up some simple teasers.

I'll make more posts as I make progress, letting you guys know how it's going.
