I quit my job yesterday. I said goodbye to my comfortable paid job at Innovation 1st to try out and become an indie game developer. Maybe I am foolish, or maybe it will be one of the best decisions I will ever make in my life. Only time will tell.
I have made a video showing the first playable version of Retool, and I do use playable in the loosest sense. In the video, I talk about the following points:
Drop me an email if you want to try out the practice level and give me feedback.
You remember the announcement I was talking about several weeks ago? Well here it is. Announcing Hut 90, my business for developing and selling video games. And… that’s it for now I guess.
In my last post, I talked about how I wanted the AI to work in Bounty Hunter. I had a chance over the past week to implement the AI and found out something important… the game is not fun with smarter AI.
I have been working on Bounty Hunter for nearly two months now. So far, I have managed to create a player that can move and shoot, NPC that walks and runs from gunshots, and guards that chase and kill the player when they see him. Now I want to improve the AI of the guards. I am going to improve the AI of the NPC but at a later stage of development as they are not that important just yet.
Now I have been researching on how to make the AI feel more human and react better when they see the player, see a dead body, or hear some noise. Here are the things I will (try to) implement into the game to achieve my goal of better stealth AI.
Introducing Tall Whale, my side business where I make websites for individuals and small companies.
I am trying to make a game… again. But this one I intend to finish unlike my first attempt.
2014 was quite a year. Many things happened, many things I learned. Now is not the time to talk about that. Now is the time to reflect back on 2014 and talk about what I enjoyed best. Some of the items on this list were not released in 2014 but I have still added them to the list as I got a chance to experience them this year. Therefore, without further ado, here is my list of the best of 2014.
I am not going to lie. I like Chromebooks. I believe they are great. I believe they can be suitable alternative for 96% of laptop users. However, most people do not know that Chromebooks exist. Even people who know that Chromebooks exist do not know if it is the right device for them. In this blog post, I am going to write about what are Chromebooks, my experience with using the Acer C720P, and the type of users that should be using a Chromebook.
I also know that recently I have been posting less about games and more about technology. This will change very soon. I have had these articles saved for some time and decided to post them now, as I did not have much game-related content to post. Someone might be interested in this information, and someone out there on the World Wide Web found it useful. If not, it is here for everyone to see for the rest of time. This does not mean I am stopping game development or stop posting game-related content. In fact, I have big news that I am going to announce in the very near future (hopefully before the end of this month, otherwise early next year). But back to the topic on hand.
Bitcoins have been around for a few years now. However, most people do not know what Bitcoins are, how they can get them and where you can use them. In this blog post, I am going to write about all the above and everything else I have learned about them over the past year.
