Building Blocks

How fitting that our first project begins with building blocks! We are building from the ground up.

Here is a sneak peek of one of the level prototypes for our little 'Building Blocks' project. How many ways can you use building blocks to make your journey?

Daily Process - Lessons Learned on Productivity

Image
The other day Joe asked me to write up something about my daily process, what I do to be effective with my time, to see if there’s anything that could be of benefit for the rest of our team. I’ll tell you what, I’ve really had to learn to have a good daily process since starting to make games full time because there’s no one making me go to work. In fact, sometimes there are myriad forces trying to keep me from going to work. I wanted to share what I wrote with our fans. Maybe you’ll find something here that you can use to help you be more effective at whatever you’re working on. Start with a routine I got this one from Twyla Tharp in The Creative Habit . Starting your creative work with a certain routine or ritual helps you get in the zone. The ritual doesn’t even have to be that elaborate. It could simply be sitting down at the same place with a bowl of cereal and turning on your music. Whatever cues you to get in the creative zone. My routine is watching an Extra Cr...

Project "Farm-Eating Game" Announcement - Alpha Version Released!!

Project "Farm-Eating Game" You're the T-Rex, and you gotta eat 'em all! I won't keep you reading long, but hopefully you will take a good amount of time to play our project, observe and examine your experience, and let us know juicy deets afterwards. It'll be much appreciated! In our last blog post, we said we'd be working on "MVP" projects, creating games at their minimum with a bit of polish, and get them done within a month and move on. On August 7th, we came up with a list of simple but fun game ideas, narrowed down our favourites, and went with the first on our list. We then planned out how we were going create it, keeping time and project management in mind, and then we set off running. Our deadline is  Sunday September 10th , so we've only got just over a week! On that day, we're dropping whatever we've got and moving onto the next thing - after a short break, debrief, and planning for the next project of cours...

The Creative Process of PLAY NOW!

Image
The Creative Process of PLAY NOW! (The button logo totally works!) One day, a user on the Unity Slackers Slack group shared a video of a brief after-work project he'd done before bed that day. It was a Virtual Reality game in which he had put himself on a platform with the control of two virtual hands, and in the distance, you could see pictures appearing and coming towards him. They were pictures of pop-up advertisements-- the kind you see and know they're fake in an instant-- and as they came up close to him he was swatting them away with his virtual hands. Over time, more and more appeared, starting to fill the screen. They smacked him in the face, he pushed them away; another got in his face, he grabbed it and used it to whack other ads away; then tossed it aside when he was done, ready for more. It was chaos-- and hilarious! If I could find the video I would just paste it here, but it's been at least a year since then and it's lost in the ava...
