Wireframe #56

Wireframe magazine is a monthly magazine that lifts the lid on video games. In every issue, we'll be looking at how games are made, who makes them, and guide you through the process of making your own.

Wireframe #56
Developer Stray Fawn tell us about their giant village-building sim, The Wandering Village. Former Kerbal Space Program developer Felipe Falanghe introduces his latest project, Balsa Flight Simulator. And the retro FPS, Wizordum, leaves us spellbound.

Elsewhere, we pay tribute to Sir Clive Sinclair’s greatest hit, the ZX Spectrum, explore the lost art of handheld console demakes, and discover how developers are giving their game a shiny, next-generation upgrade.

In our Toolbox section, we’ll show you how to make your own Boulder Dash construction kit in Python, and show you how to use player psychology to heighten the tension and drama in your game design.
