Setting up Steam integration for Unity. The video goes into the basics of creating achievements and leaderboards using the Unity Steamworks package. Also covers building/uploading to Steam via the Steamworks SDK. No paid addons used.
Continue readingThis is my attempt at a maze generator in unity, it should be viable for any tile-based game. It takes tiles (corridors or rooms) of a fixed size and builds a customisable path from start room to end room, and then adds similar paths at random points along the chain.
Continue readingAn effective mouse macro recorder – AutoHotKey
My foray into the versatile AutoHotKey. I’ve made a super simple program that allows the user to record and then play a sequence of mouse moments/actions. It can iterate any number of times and will be useful in removing the needless grind that plagues many games.

A simple, clean and expandable unity dialogue system
The system uses scriptable objects and singletons, allowing for easy creation and implementation of dialogue from anywhere else in the project. The scripts are straightforward and versatile allowing you to expand them at will.

I wrote a camera shake script that you may find useful in your own works.
The Camera Shake is highly versatile/customisable, using perlin noise and exponential falloff for a smooth, realistic feel.

We’re finally working on the game again! With brand new structures
Decided to start doing devlogs for those interested in keeping up with the project
To ensure they remain at least somewhat useful, they’ll be paired with tutorials. In this case, the camera which took a over a day of messing around and figuring stuff out (I know, I’m slow) but ended in a state that I’m quite happy with.

I recently created a new data type for Above the Stars. It was an interesting excursion into many things I’ve never used before so I thought I’d do a write-up regarding it.
The MegaInt is capable of holding very large numbers all in a single integer, as well displaying them in a readable format.

I made a bunch of ships for the new game; Above The Stars!
I also compiled the hours into a short time lapse video if you’re interested, which can be found below.
My method of creating Low Polygon Planets and exporting them to Unity, to achieve an interesting “flat art” design that is stunning and easy to do.
It is the first dev log relating to my new game, an incremental space shooter focused around defending and upgrading a planet and its technologies. Currently thinking of calling it “Above the Stars” but that name is subject to change.
I’ll hopefully start doing more of these types of videos if people enjoy them.
