MiniLD46 - Shark Off! Release


Another game development competition, another success. The theme of the competition was “Sharks”, and I came up with the idea almost immediately. Also had two more ideas, which I scrapped, because this idea fit very well with the HTML5 platform, which I’ve been meaning to learn to use properly.

Now, even if it was a success, it was not a complete one. Mistakes I’ve made:

  • Once again went with a library I wasn’t familiar with, which ended up taking a bunch of time. Not avoidable since I planned on a platform that I haven’t used much.

  • Spent a lot of time figuring out the platform. Once again, not avoidable in this case.

  • Had to scrap a lot of features at the end, because I hadn’t planned on them being so complicated. Highscore tables are surprisingly hard to do right in Javascript/HTML5.

A good deal fewer than I made starting out with game development, but still too many and too severe.

On the upside, things I enjoyed:

  • Art came together beautifully, and I’m still surprised I managed to draw things that look quite good.

  • Click-and-run platform. Such a wonder.

  • Gameplay that is mildly fun, which is a lot more than I can say for some projects of mine.

Anyway, this was a success, as an experiment. Looking forward to more game jams.

Family band complete!

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

My D&D art for my family so far (WIP if you couldn't tell)

Made my first ever animation.

I mostly build 3D First Person Shooter game mechanics in Unity, and in this I'm just showing C4 mechanics I made for a little side project I am working on! :)
