Progress has been really good this past week! After resetting my mindset and making a road map of tasks to complete Gym Empire I’ve managed to get back into a really good routine. I’ve been sticking to the good old rule of a little progress every day and been getting some good results. I’ve implemented …
So a couple of weeks ago I discussed the lack of vision I have with Gym Empire in terms of a road map. This has severely hindered my attempts to make any serious progress. As promised I brainstormed a task list to cover as many of the steps I need to take to get me …
Sometimes it’s the little things that can make all the difference. If you’ve been keeping up with my blog you’ll know that it’s been a difficult week. On top of that I’ve been struggling to regain my momentum in game dev during the start of 2018. I’d found myself against a bit of a brick …

Creating objects in the world is not too difficult and placing them just involves understanding that there is a 3rd axis that you need to accommodate for when defining the position. It however starts to become …
Last weekend we managed to get a decent amount of basic mechanics into Project ZATO. The basic things like movement and collision were done with no issues. The trickier work came when it was time to start implementing sight and hearing for the enemy AI. I started with the sight. This basically consisted of creating …
Over the past week I have been focusing the development of Gym Empire into getting the basic systems up and running in Unity. I expected this to take a bit of effort but I didn’t realise that each individual step would feel like such a challenge. The issue is one of two halves. To start …
