And today, we learn a lesson on code organization!


1.) Find a small, really inconspicuous bug.
2.) Fix small, inconspicuous bug.
3.) EVERYTHING ELSE BREAKS!!!

It’s incredible what one line of miss placed code can do to a game as it gets bigger!

From randomly floating slightly above a floor, to randomly plummeting through them like they don’t exist to your death, to the game not even compiling - messy code has a way of snowballing itself.

I spent the whole night rewriting the jump and collision detection stuff so that it works more consistently, and the code is still a disaster of spaghetti code.

Going to have to look at my methods going forward to make sure this doesn’t happen again… it’s a bit depressing - I sat down excited to make my first boss encounter, and instead I spent the night 3 inches from my screen squinting at lines of code muttering “what the heck does this even do?”

TONIGHT though - tonight I make a boss!

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

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.

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.
