Great productive game jam weekend! I really enjoyed making and playing Laser Star. The theme was ‘arcade’ and I think I captured that! It has a lot of challenge and style for something made over the course of three days (while still managing to hang with friends most of Friday night, and most of the … Continue reading
I’ve been hacking away at a less fun and visually unimpressive part of the game idea for Space Warfare: Infinite — the Editor. The mission editor will hopefully be one thing to help set the game apart. As a gamer, the one thing I’ve always loved is being able to create my own game maps … Continue reading
Over the last few weeks I’ve been trying to limit my programming time to focus on 3D modeling. I find switching between Unity and Blender to be difficult, so just working on making stuff in Blender has helped my productivity in creating new art assets for the game. I have a list of space ships … Continue reading
I created a game for the Mini Ludum Dare Compo… it’s called ArkaVaders. The theme of the game jam was Pong/Arkanoid type games. So I thought I’d add a Space spin to it and add Space Invaders to the mix. Here is a link to ArkaVaders… It might not work in Chrome… I am not sure … Continue reading

It’s been a long week with lots of snow days to work on Space Warfare: Infinite. While I added some features, I have been spending a lot of time on optimizing and finding bugs. Porting to Unity 5 – set-backs, opportunities I converted my game over to Unity 5 only to find after many hours … Continue reading
Sometimes it feels like not much has happened in the last week or two, but actually if I reflect back, Space Warfare: Infinite has made some pretty good progress. Ship Switching One of the key features of the ultimate vision of the game is in. It needs to be refined and tested, but the core … Continue reading
Part of last week and into the weekend has seen a lot of time devoted to reworking the AI. I also wanted to add some new visual elements and while I did not get around to modelling a bunch of capital ships, I did model a launch tube for the player to fly out of. … Continue reading
This past week I’ve been working on unifying the ship code and it is just about done. Now the player and AI ship code is shared completely with added scripts for the extra player functions like input and UI things. The shared code means that now enemies can use all the components like different weapons and … Continue reading
