In my last post I showed off how my cinematic system works. The result was this nice little gif: The caption said, "The navigation system is a little funky and needs a rewrite"... Well, now I've done a large refactor of the navigation system and it works much better. Before…
I've been working on and off on a small 2D ARPG for a year or so. There's very little to show right now (and it's almost entirely using placeholder assets) but I'm incredibly proud of some of the underlying tech. Kenney makes some wonderful assets to use for prototypingThe custom…
I've been working on a multiplayer top-down shooter in Unreal 4 recently as a way to learn more about Unreal's multiplayer systems. I recorded a really quick video to show progress after about 1.5 weeks.…
In my previous article I talked about designing a dungeon generation system for the roguelike I'm working on, Explore. Today I'm going to talk about writing the AI and some of the design decisions behind enemies. Speed and Timing Explore, like many roguelikes before it, is a turn-based game. With…
I've talked about dungeon generation in the past, specifically an algorithm that I've used in a few places. That same algorithm is at work in my roguelike which I've been calling "Explore". Since I've already covered exactly how that algorithm works, I'm going to cover a slightly different…
Due to some issues I've been having with Wordpress, I've moved to Ghost! I'm slowly porting some of my old posts over here, but it may take some time.…
For a couple of weeks I've been working on a number of new projects, but the one I want to talk about today is a little web game. I don't have anything but a code-name for it yet, but the overall goal is a web-based game in the vein of…

This was a post from my old blog. Some links/formatting/images may be out of date. "I haven't made a post in a while. I should work on that," I thought to myself. "Oh, I know! I'll talk about the little library I made a few…
This was a post from my old blog. Some links/formatting/images may be out of date. I can't release the original source used for this (which was written in C++), but I have a very similar implementation in C# from a different project that I've posted in full here:…
