Almost 5 years ago, I wrote a post giving a brief update on a 2D sandbox survival game I had been working on, Dropship. I still don’t have any plans on releasing this, it is purely a creative outlet for me. But, I did just revive it from my Bitbucket repository and load it up … Read more
I spent a couple of hours recently playing around with this top down 2D driving simulator in Unity and implemented a 2D Waypoint AI Car Driving system. It’s been put together really nicely and implements most (if not all) of the physics detailed in this great Car Physics For Games post. The only thing the … Read more

It is a 2D ‘Minecraft’ style, sandbox survival game, drawing inspiration from Minecraft and Starbound, two of my favourite survival/sandbox games. After getting back from holiday I kind of just left it in … Read more

We’ll be building a character creator with Amazon DynamoDB integration in Unity3D. This will … Read more
I’ve been quiet for the last few months – looking after a pregnant wife, preparing for a baby, and lots of work (my normal day job) has kept me very busy, and meant I have not been able to update this blog as often as I wanted to. Now, with my son born I’ve had a … Read more
In Space Pillage, various bits of the game are randomly built using modular assets. One of these types are the space ship hulls / interiors you fly through (or over) in the game. This is a quick development update showing how the interior graphics are randomised and created as needed for the game. These interiors, … Read more
