The Plan

The plan is changing on an almost daily basis. The current plan is as follows:

The program I used to make my website named all the pages weirdly meaning I didn’t want to tell anyone about the release of AVC. I’ll get this fixed – manually if need be – tell people about it, and then park the website for a bit whilst I work out what went wrong/find something better to use.

The Works-In-Progress will be done via my blog initially – maybe moved over to the webpage later if I think there’s merit in that. I’ll try my best to get the first one out this week.

Game development is switching to Unity. I love XNA, but I need everything on my side – and that means as few barriers to entry and as much flexibility as possible. I’d tried using Unity before but the sample game it tends to push as a demo – Angry Bots – is a big old brute and not a pleasant way in to learning the package for me. My reluctance to move on from XNA and unfavourable first impressions meant I wasn’t looking forward to diving into learning Unity, but after a lot of procrastination I finally sat and watched all the beginner tutorial videos whilst having a bit of a play with the editor itself, and by Crikey! – now I’m a convert. I reckon I can do really good stuff with this. Absolutely cannot wait to get cracking. If the website and the works-in-progress don’t show up for a little while then Unity will be to blame. These games aren’t going to make themselves.
