Dev Blog

Blog to track my indie dev progress. I have very little knowledge of the topic, but I do this to acknowledge all the other Dev Blogs I have learned so much through.

We have completed the “Space Shooter” tutorial for Unity and I have continued to play a bit in Blender. For my second model, I have made a sky whale, I anticipate this will be much more simple to rig and animate than a person, so that is what I am off to learn about next!

Tonight I reapproached my previous Blender project and brought it to fruition! Not bad for my first model if I do say so myself. And look at that tight ass!

Today we started on the Unity3d “Space Shooter Tutorial”. Should finish it tomorrow and I’ll share some results, but I spent tonight at work working in Blender and learning to 3d model! Not too bad for starters I don’t think, but I will be trying this until I am competent.

Did the “Roll a Ball” tutorial tonight! Had a few detours but got through it, and finally got into a bit of the structure on Unity. Now that some of the tools have been pointed out it doesn’t seem all that different from Flash. This was fun and I look forward to the next project!

Before I officially begin this endeavor, I’d like to share what I have done so far. These two games “Bat Flap Fever” and “Crappy Flash Platformer” are nearly the extent of my game development experience. Each of them followed tutorials (you can find all the links at such on their respective pages on my DeviantArt) and they are effectively just graphic swaps over provided code. I learned very little programming knowledge in these, but they were still valuable experiences.
