I am currently developing a new game, “Adrift” in the precious little free time I have. I have developed over a dozen game projects in my personal time. Previous games have been primarily motivated as learning projects. This one is different. I would like to build a game worth playing and paying money for. What does that mean? My current hypothesis is that the best games emerge out of a dialogue…
LLMs and Generative AI are useful for (1) Accessibility (2) Fuzzy Input, Fuzzy Output and (3) Averaging Engines
Join me as I update a project through 10 years of Unity editors. Along the way I will talk about my process, Unity tips and tricks, and the tech changes of Unity Engine - several of which I observed firsthand while working at Unity.
Hey, I feel like I have been here before . Once again I am shelving a prototype for a procedurally generated maze game. Interesting. I suppose this is what happens when I motivate a project by the creating a cool system rather than having a vision for a fun game. Labyrinth started out as a working portfolio piece after being laid off. Partially I am shelving it because I am once again gainfully…

How do I give players a sense of discovery and understanding of a space that is linear? My level design process is guided by three pillars: monuments, keep it fresh, and balanced pacing.
A draft of XR interaction code
XR Rigs can become a deep GameObject hierarchy. Game features can require that a player’s head, hands, body, and tracking space all trigger different actions when colliding with certain scene objects. In this article we will explore an increasingly detailed XR Rig and in the process explain how Rigidbody and Collider hierarchies work in a deep GameObject hierarchy.
Shelving a prototype is hard, but it is time to move on from this one.

Erusal has made it through Greenlight and is now available on Steam!
A new asymmetric multiplayer game has hit the market. Dead by Daylight, a game by Behavior Digital Inc, is a 4v1 that pits survivors against a deranged killer. It manifests slasher films as a video game, and it is bloody brilliant. How does it compare and contrast with another 4v1 game: Evolve?
I have been remaking Erusal for some time now. Today I thought it would be fun to reflect on my level design process.
