Hi! I'm Evan!
A dad who's been modding and making games since the 90s. I've made apps and games for some huge companies but I won't be talking about that here. This place is purely for my poorly thought out personal projects. Also motorcycles!
I've been working a lot on my title screen and I think it's looking great! God rays need some work and I'd like to add a bit more life to it, but overall, very pleased!

It's coming along slowly but steadily. Top is editor view so you can see whats happening. Bottom is game view. I'm still working on the cameras and such to make this cohesive, but you get the idea. Needs easing on everything. Left the [Dev] menu on in the bg.

Sorry for the long absence! My day job has been sucking away my motivation. This contraption is finally in the game though! Still need to finalize the textures and animations, but I'm moving ahead with puzzle logic in the meantime.

Still super busy. Slowly making progress on this contraption though. Once I get all the parts in there I'm going to loosen everything up a bit to give it some character. UVing this is going to be ...fun...

Work has been insane lately. I haven't had the energy to work on my game much at night. I did finally start modeling the last missing puzzle though. It's incomplete, and needs to be relaxed a bit.

Can you guess what this contraption is?

That merchant is a real stickler when it comes to union rules. Best to try and stay on his good side!

Rear's back on and now the forks are off for service. The intake valves are pretty tight. No wonder it was hard to start the last few rides. Gonna tackle that this weekend.

And if you follow me for game dev stuff, I'll be back to that soon! Lot's to share.

You know you're in for a treat when your swing arm bearings come out as mostly dust. I'm pretty sure these are original. Removing the siezed race was surprisingly easy though. Good soak with WD40, and 2 sockets, with some threaded rod did the job.

No dev updates because I'm visiting family in Germany. One thing I like to do here is hike to old ruins. My German family members don't understand why I would want to trek through the underbrush to find what is essentially a pile of rubble covered with moss. That's fine because I get me time!

Ziplines!

Still needs a ton of work but not too shabby for an hour and a half!

And that's a riding season (for me anyway)! This bike has exceeded my expectations. Coming from 2 strokes I never expected to enjoy a 450 on trails so much but here we are. Now it's time to strip her down for a suspension rebuild and go through the motor.

My old Kawasaki ZZR600. I took this picture way back in 2007! No smartphones yet. Who else had a magnetic tank bag with a clear sleeve on top for a paper map? I was on my way to Yosemite and all my clothes were in a backpack I was wearing when I took this. God I loved that bike.

I've decided to put substantially more effort into the writing in Sierra Gold. The deeply philosophical topics discussed in this scene drive home the need to challenge the player on a more introspective level. Remember, games can be high art too.

Today I parted ways with my 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ that I owned for...checks notes...23 years. Many great adventures were had, but her age was really getting up there and I wanted to sell while she still ran great.

Buyer got a good deal. Hope he enjoys her!

Why yes, lighting strikes were absolutely on my super organized, always up to date, Trello board. I'm a serious, responsible developer after all. I have no time to work on silly, frivolous things that don't add to the story.

Best way to spend a Friday afternoon! It was dry and slippery. I'm hoping we get at least one more storm before the summer starts!

Is this nav marker effect cool or annoying?

I have iterated on water shaders for months now and I'm never happy with them. This one is ok, but a bit too busy and not quite as toony as I want...I think...maybe? Bah...

What I don't want is Wind Waker water, or on the other hand, too realistic water.

Been off the bike for two months due to an injury. What a perfect day to get back into it!

I've been really unhappy with this bridge since forever so I'm giving it some love. It's mostly just fixing UVs and setting it up better to use more cartoony materials. The old textures were just thrown on there and they always looked out of place.
