My hobby workshop

Hey there,
This will be the place where I can write more about my projects.
First of my public projects is the Space shooter / racer prototype
some of my progress videos have been uploaded before to my YT channel under the Unity Games Playlist ,

From now on when I upload something new, I will try to write a log on what happened since the last time and / or any trouble I ran into

and maybe I'll add a personal part on what I had to learn to achieve it with the links of course.
thanks for reading

before this dev log :
race map is working, time is ticking, spaceship is nicely moving,
to do list:

add asteroids to background parallaxing.
add weapons
add shooting and damage
add visual shield to the ship

dev log 8.30.2015
it took me some time to find the best method since the best looking one in Blender 3D is not usable yet since it is using volumetric shading

I ended up with tilling the offset and intensity of texture

I was able to add an asteroid field based on 12 unique asteroids, they are generated randomly with random scale and rotation axis , it still needs tweeking
the Background parallaxing still has some issues, I'm planing to rewrite it.
here is the result

Chess Mate in 2

Probably some of you know that move, it is called kids under age of 3. Well I got 2 of them and they keep me pinned down. This is the worst excuse possible, I know. Meanwhile, while not working on my own assets I tried to help others with their projects. This is the path I will be walking enjoying time with my kids; very soon they start kinder garden they grow up fast and I will not miss on the best moments of their lives. That being said, I can't promise anything new until my life offers the opportunity to work on individual projects (need to make time and space, office space that is, you can't write any code while your kids are pulling your sleeve) Probably I will not have to much to show you until this winter. If you have any supporting advice, I'm all years and eyes! As a good friend of mine would say: "We'll get on that bus when it gets here" May the digital ether keep you smiling and check back on this blog.

The Spiral of life

Sorry for not being active for some time. Life has an interesting way of pulling you away from your loved hobbies and makes you struggle harder and harder in order to cherish even more the moments when you have time for it. At least this is my case, probably I should not engage anymore in anything that is Game Industry related, but actually, it makes me want it even more. Shortly the winter holidays and minor work breaks will give me enough time to showcase my new project. In its current state, it is so ugly and unrewarding that I have to polish a ton of things, or even more. The project that I buried myself into deeply is a Base Building Game, but it took so much time with so many interruptions from it, that I no longer feel the continuity of it. Anyway, I want to finish what I started in a form that can be the basis of anything to come. Feel free to poke my blog. See you soon! I promise.
