Fallout
I’ve been playing and replaying old Fallout games – there may be some kind of tenuous connection between that and the release of Fallout 4, but mostly I just finally got around to playing through New Vegas and that whetted…

EverEnding DevBlog 154: Spears and Spirits
Spent the first couple of days this week working on the character design. Once I got the idea down I stopped work on the picture, so it’s still kind of sketchy – which, with the digital painting style I was…
EverEnding DevBlog 135: Potpourri
I’ve kind of been bouncing back and forth between making animations for this entity, trying to refine and build out the behavioral code, and going back and building out a production schedule. Animation-wise, I created a looking-around idle animation, a…
EverEnding DevBlog 134: Walkabout
All the pathfinding stuff is in a place where it’s basically functional, just needs tweaking to make it look nice. This is really just as much an aesthetic and design problem as it is a programming one at this point,…
EverEnding DevBlog 133: Paving the Way

EverEnding DevBlog 126: Bits and Pieces

EverEnding DevBlog 125: Tiles

EverEnding DevBlog 124: Resolved
I started off the week by working on a simple lighting system. This turned out to be a lot easier than I expected it to be – I’m currently not bothering with making the lights get occluded by anything, so…
JazzPunk!
Yeah. the title just didn’t feel quite right without an exclamation mark. I’m not sure why ‘JazzPunk!’ isn’t the official title, because if any game deserves exclamation marks it’s this one. The entire experience of JazzPunk revolves around Surprise! With…
