So I’m trying to make progress on my level selector and now I need the user input to select the various worlds to propagate the event to pick a level. So I found various examples of how to transfer the camera point to a 3d Ray, then to do the Raycasting in which it should…

So while I’m super pumped on game development I decided to start working on the level selector, from which you could select planets to travel to and from. I figured I would need to display some sort of textured sphere, have a mechanism that lets you select the planet you want to go to and…

It’s been a long while since I’ve updated. Hurricane Sandy came by and really did a number on the area that I live in. Even with that in mind, I have so many fortunate circumstances that while there were a lot of delays, my family and I are safe. So first update is that Unity…

So, I effectively removed about a meg of junk that was in a bunch of the tutorial code and I also wrote some code to gracefully quit the game. I also refactored the main level base class to be more scriptable. The game seems to take more than 20 seconds to load a level for…

Apparently had I just read this documentation ahead of time.…

Welp, I finally did what I intended to do the other day. I’ve implemented a crude main menu screen that jumps right into the game. I’ll probably set some transition effect, but it’s also a starting basis for me to implement the whole level selection, upgrade vendor etc. Fun fun fun!… Read the rest

I’m now creating a main menu screen, but in the mean time I wanted to re-use some graphics for wordpress and then got caught up messing with Php, wordpress, templates and string manipulation. Not as effective, but it’s progress nonetheless… Read the rest

Also creating a base class for the level logic as well as creating a dialog/text manager. Admittedly, I played a bit of Diablo3 today, it’s hard to get off the crack 🙂… Read the rest

So I also spend a good portion of tonight messing with WordPress, but I did make a few tweaks to the ion cannon. It doesn’t spam out as much combat text, the damage is tweaked to be slightly higher than the spray gun. I want to work a little on the story engine next and…
