I spent a couple months in a house with a really humid basement which is not at all good for PLA filament. So I bought a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier had to be emptied twice a day. Ung, that’s robot work! I could buy a sump pump (technically a condensate pump) for around $50 whereas a […]
“What the hell is that?” – The Neighbors The title says it all but I’ll expand on it. Over the past 6 months I’ve been further increasing my ability to mix real world and virtual world together. Not through VR/AR/MR but through actual physical devices. (I’ve also ended up doing my share of XR, but […]
This is just a quick thing I put together to de-risk an idea for a client. The android “plugin” (it’s really just a thin proxy class) opens the chosen camera app in video mode (preferably the lowest quality possible) and allows Unity to get the bytes of said video from the media content url the […]
How do I make a custom URL/application schema (ie QTDeep://?color=green) for my Unity iOS app that I can open from a webpage/another app? There’s a lot of people asking this question dating back over a year and most of the little tidbits you need to make it happen are out there. I’ve pieced it together and […]
We all live near cool places with cool stories right? And sometimes those stories are very physically connected. The history of that lamp on that table isn’t as meaningful in a book, but it’s also maybe not something that everyone on every tour cares about. Enter virtual reality touring. I’m gonna start of with the […]
This story begins the usual way really, couple of guys making games, submitting said games to cons. Trekking out to said cons with said, said games. But when you’re so small the machine you’re showing with is your personal laptop and main dev machine… there’s some stress involved in going to the bathroom or grabbing […]
“Do you have friends? Do you like blowing them up?” – Will Stallwood, Cipher Prime We embraced the insane, chaotic, and non-stop gotcha” moments… wait we are we talking about making or playing the game? From shelved game jam game, to 1 month dev blitz, to shipped, this is Super Rock Blasters. The story of Super […]
Wow , it’s that time of year again when I double check my little webpage about myself that I never post to. My last post was almost exactly a year ago but it feels like three. My life has changed so much from getting Mark of the Old Ones funded, biking to work over the summer, […]
It’s Friday, the last(official) day of GDC! During the week my boss, Jordan, sent me the latest trailer iteration for Mark of the Old Ones. So, not all of this is ‘official’ footage nor guaranteed to be in the game. I haven’t put a lot of time into my blog since I got hired at […]
The company I work at just launched a Kickstarter to help fund our next game. It might not have been the greatest idea to let our actual team represent the game instead of someone who’s really good at talking and selling things… but maybe people will appreciate our transparency? *shrug* Anyway check it out! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1168767162/mark-of-the-old-ones?ref=recently_launched
Due to some circumstances I was sitting around with some time on my hands, so I wrote this little program based on a challenge posted in the code golf section of stack http://pastebin.com/cTQsvaHk #include <stdio.h> static int addCounter; int add(int a, int b) { ++addCounter; return a + b; } int divide(int dividend, int divisor) […]
Alright, so like a week or so ago me and Aubrey were talking about phone plans, (keep in mind texting has been sucking up the majority of my account balance since it’s $0.10 for every text I receive/send) and he dug up an old article on a T-Mobile prepaid plan. $30 a month for unlimited data(5GB)/text […]
I’m pumped for tonight’s “Dev Jam” at Cipher Prime. The theme is racing so I think I’m going to PoC an idea that’s been bugging me for a while. What makes it a “Dev Jam” and not a “Game Jam”? A game jam is conceiving and making a game in a set period of time. For the […]
One week later. (it’s actually a little later than that now, but it was when I started writing this.) Le Game Last week we wrapped up our 72 hour jam project Evo Explorer (It says Evolver in the title screen since we never got the time to replace the temp art. Lesson to be learned […]
So I may or may not have mentioned that I managed to hook up QuadraTron with some Windows Phones back during the Global Game Jam. Long story short on the Windows Phone: I like the OS, and straight out of the box it would beat an Android hands down… BUT the market place is pretty bad […]
