I'm incredibly proud to have had the opportunity to contribute to this game and wish Josiah and the team all the success in the world. Watch the trailer, and maybe buy the game when it launches on Steam?

Felt like a good time to take a break from programming and play around with some simple 3d modeling tonight. So I made some new (rough) ship models for my game project!
They're all fully implemented in the project, and working correctly! Although I do still want to make more changes to them.

New progress update video for my current game project!
I've added turrets into the game as the first enemies and done work tweaking little things, balancing the laser and machine gun weapons, and added limits to the amount of health the player can have at one time.

I'm almost ready to send out my first playtest. I'll be reaching out to people who've previously offered to play the game for their email if I don't already have it.
In the meantime, I made another video. This time I even narrated it to talk about the game some.

Made a little video showing the state of my current game prototype. Still a bit more work to do before I can start making a few levels and send it out for a first full round playtesting. But all in all I'm pretty happy with how things work so far.

There's a launch trailer for the game I was working a contract for last year! Still sad they couldn't keep me around until launch, but I'm excited to see them continuing the project! It's going to be a great game, and Hyporeal Games was an excellent team to work with!

A D&D restaurant themed like that "Is it Cake" show. After you order food they bring out two plates.
One is the food you ordered, the other is a mimic.

Since texture/.com removed the free credits, I found myself wondering where to grab textures for free
I haven't seen a list on my timeline yet, so I want to share the ones I like best for FREE TEXTURES!

Remember that, in California, even if you get severance, you can still receive unemployment.
Severance is what's owed to you in lieu of a stable job, but unemployment is yours as soon as you lose your job.
You paid CA's high taxes for this safety net, use it.

I keep wanting to be more active on here, but never getting around to it. Anyway, updates:
*I've been reworking the game systems in my project. I started by designing a new input management system run by a state machine.
*I've been planning out how I'll handle animations and rigging my model.
