Authority
There are a lot of things I don’t feel qualified to talk about. I don’t have a graduate degree, so what insight do I really have into any issues of mathematics or engineering? I haven’t worked as a game designer…
Eve DevBlog 67: Planning and Polishing
It’s been kind of a slow week. I started off by adding those features to the map editor which I’d noticed were missing last update, but since then I’ve just been trying, bit by bit, to polish the collision detection…
Resistance
For the last few days I’ve been trying to write the first Problem Machine post of 2014, and I’ve been running into a lot of internal resistance. I keep dodging, making excuses, procrastinating, and generally doing anything I can to…

Ludum Dare 28: Run Out of Caring
This entire competition, I’ve been fighting against my own exhaustion and apathy, and I think I just lost. I guess It’s not so bad. I got a ton done, and I proved to myself that I can get a ton…
Ludum Dare 28: Getting Going
