This second week of the project had me working on my first sprint — three user stories that were chosen during class time. User Stories Completed in this Sprint #1 Finish the game design document (GDD). This was completed, although the GDD is kind of a dynamic entity, so it will change as the project […]
This first week of the project was mainly spent getting up to speed with the basics of Scrum, using some information found online via Google, but mainly from the book “Agile Game Development with Scrum” (Addison Wesley) by Clinton Keith. My assignment was to come up with at least 10 user stories. I created the […]
Okay, 11 weeks into the 16-week semester and I haven’t posted anything. Chalk it up to “eyes are bigger than my stomach” syndrome (although if you’ve seen my stomach, you’ll wonder how my eyes could possibly be THAT big). However, as part of the class I’ve been turning in a “log report” every week and […]
Due to reasons that I’ve discussed elsewhere, I’ve almost completely switched from Corona SDK to using Unity. I love Corona so the decision was *not* an easy one to make.

You’re a game developer, not a marketer! Which sucks, because unless you get incredibly lucky (against the odds like struck by lightning *while* winning the lottery) your game will go nowhere. It will lay there like a lump, twitching, while you wonder what went wrong with your dream. (And your children stare at you with […]
Here’s a list of places where you can look for audio for your games. Some I knew about; some I didn’t. It’s courtesy of the guys at V-Play — if you haven’t looked at that game engine before it’s worth a peek. Looks interesting. 16 Sites Offering Free Game Sounds for Game Devs – V-Play
Interesting quick read with some nice numbers if you’re looking for a job in the game dev industry. One part leaped out at me… “However, this has had the effect of crowding out the space, with more developers (many of whom are not really skilled enough to make a profitable game)…” Yes, there are a […]
