So, on Sunday I completed a submission for yet another game jam—Mini Jam 72, “Adventure”. So if I completed it on Sunday, why am I only posting about it now? Well, mostly because of time issues. Due to the game jam, I didn’t get as much sleep over the weekend as I should have—especially since […]
So, I said at the end of my last post that I ought to play and rate the other entries in the two game jams I’d recently participated in, and I… didn’t do that as soon or as much as I should have. It was a busy time; the spring semester just started the day […]
So, over the weekend I participated in another game jam: Mini Jam 71, the latest installment of a biweekly game jam where each jam involves both an optional theme and a required limitation. This time the theme was “Puzzles”, and the limitation was that each entry had to combine two different game genres. This, incidentally, […]
So, it’s once again been a while since my last blog post, but I guess with the holidays (and having to get the grades in for the classes I’m teaching), I sort of have a good excuse? Anyway, though, one of the things I said in my last post that I was going to do […]
Well, dang. So. I did not enter Monsters and Minifigs in the Unity x LEGO® GameJam. I am very disappointed in myself for not entering Monsters and Minifigs in the Unity x LEGO® GameJam. I’m going to continue to work on it, but I had intended to enter it in the GameJam, and I am […]
So, I’ve decided what I’m going to do for the Unity x LEGO® GameJam. I’m going to (try to) make an RPG, which I’ve tentatively decided to call “Monsters and Minifigs” (as is kind of given away by the post title here). Mostly what I’ve been doing so far is creating models for the game, […]
So, two months ago I tried out the then-in-beta LEGO® Microgame, and wrote a blog post about my experience. Well, the microgame is now apparently out of beta, and there’s a four-week Live Learning Series devoted to it… which is now almost over, its fourth and last session this coming Monday. (Though of course the […]
Well, maybe a little jam. Dang it. I was really, really looking forward to the Unity Create with Code Game Jam this weekend. A chance to get back into Unity, to challenge myself and see what I could create in a few days, to make a new game and see what I ended up with. […]
So it’s been… over a month since my last post. Yeek. Sorry. There’s a reason for my absence… I just started a new job, and it’s been keeping me very busy. Before the pandemic, I was working as a studio teacher—I worked with kids on film sets. But then COVID-19 happened, and all film production […]
