    I decided to try out full 3D instead of top down, and I’m really liking it so far. Not sure yet though. Building levels by hand is taking a lot of time. I’m just going to be content of it looking not as good and just try and finish something. Some stuff like the bushes…

    Managed to do some work during the holidays. Finished 3d models for the arcade cabinets. Probably need more to fill up the arcade. Happy Holidays!

    I decided to do the subscription to Maya LT and relearn 3D modeling. The first thing I tried to do was modeling the treasure chest. I lost the old file for some reason, so I thought this would be a fun exercise. It has 120 Tris with 128×128 texture. It was rushed and it looked terrible.…

With a list of buttons, Unity’s ScrollRect does not automatically scroll to the selected button if the button is out of bounds. I never found a quick way or a component to emulate it, so I turned to scripting.…

    Hey! Sorry I haven’t been updating regularly on the project’s status. I’ve decided to drop ORK framework and create my own RPG framework from scratch based on the Crystal Story II gameplay. I thought it would be fun to port the engine I had and make it better. The work was mostly on code and there were no…

    Playing around with the game last month, I realized that I have to downscale it by a lot. What I initially have in mind was too big for a one man project.     I created this tomb dungeon area by hand and it took about a week. It had a lot of complex shapes,…
