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.

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.

I don't want to be philosophical but this one suits my case. So the last few months have been extremely hard. I tried my best on testing and tweaking the space racer/shooter, but it turns out that shooting in top-down games while traveling with speed is not an enjoining experience. Not even with auto targeting systems, or heat seeking missiles, laser weapons or turret guns are 90% missing their target, and the game experience is quite frustrating! So before I turn this game into something I do not want (a big pile of mess) I decided to give it a rest, maybe come back to it later. In the last few weeks I tried to learn more about what makes a great failure a good place to begin something else. As youtubers of "Extra Credits" said "Fail Faster" So I will try to fail even faster, So I tried to read as much as possible, Special thanks to " youtubers of " Extra Credits " and to BlackShellMedia who provide awesome indie tips and ...
