A lot of the work this time around was under the hood- things have been refactored and updated to make future development (especially of the scenario generator) easier and less bug-prone.

GearHead Caramel v0.800: Not a Roadside Picnic
I’ve just released a new version of GearHead Caramel. The big change this time around is random world map encounters-instead of fighting the same old foes on each stretch of road, there are now a bunch of different events that could happen.

GearHead Caramel Narrative Trailer
I have just finished making this narrative trailer for GearHead Caramel. All the backgrounds are hand painted with acrylics on watercolor paper; the mecha were drawn in Gimp and animated using Blender.

Anyhow, I’ve been working on a GearHead Caramel scenario editor! In theory, this should allow players to create scenarios for GearHead Caramel without knowing …

GearHead: Caramel Coming to Steam, Possibly Relicensing GH1 + GH2
I have finished the paperwork and am preparing to release GearHead Caramel on Steam. I think I have everything set up correctly to compile the Linux binaries for SteamOS; we’ll see how it goes. As I mentioned earlier, I would also like to bring GearHead1 and GearHead2 to Steam. To do this I’d need to …

Modding GearHead Caramel: Create Your Own Adventure, Part Two
In part one of the tutorial, we created an empty city scene and stuck an exit in it. In this part we will add a building, a shopkeeper, and a shop. You can download the expanded script file from Dropbox. Now, we could stick all of this new content into the same Plot we used …

GearHead Discord
Once upon a time, in the distant past, there was a GearHead forum. Now, in the sparkling future, there is a GearHead Discord. You can use that link to join and talk about GearHead, mecha/games more generally, or just hang out. This is my first time starting a Discord and I have no idea what …
