Managing a Play Test
So I am ready to launch an Alpha build for one of game development projects. To my surprise, there really isnt a lot of information on this subject online. I was hoping to find, perhaps, a platform that will publish the alpha, provide private invites and keys, add some forms for community feedback, maybe even […]
isometric design
Isometric design is really a interesting process. It really is a play on color theory. For this little thing I used Hexels, which I picked up many years ago and highly recommend it. I put it down after only using it a couple of times, but I think I might revisit this software from time […]
Moving Platforms
Moving platforms vertically and horizontally in GMS2 can be tricky, but I feel it is a definitely must-have item if you are designing a platformer title. Below is my process for creating moving jump-thru platforms. The Parent Since we are going to have vertical/horizontal platforms, I usually create a parent/child system to organize them better […]
SNES Chrome Theme
I put together a small theme for Google Chrome. Nothing really major, lol, but I was tired of seeing my browser look the same for so long. I visited the chrome store, found some ‘ok’ themes. Some of the google published themes, were pretty alright in terms of color choices. Still, they didn’t have anything […]

He spends most of his time making music for other artists as a producer and is often a guest musician for […]
iCUE RGB Profile
Spent more time than I would like to admit on adjusting the rgb lights on the keyboard to a color palette inspired by Winter. It features a light minty color, a soft salmon/pinkish and the numpad is a plum purple. Yes, its dorky, yes I am a geek. Use the profile for some winter inspiration, […]

Dialog System EZ – Camera Shake Cinemachine Camera System Brackeys 2D Player Controller Unity 2D Player Controller Tutorial Photoshop Layer-To-PNG Script Most of […]
Diagonal Movement
I often get asked about how I manage top down movement with diagonal ‘math’ ? in Gamemaker? I think I have a pretty simple fix that seems to work real nice, and is real easy to implement. I use this technique in all my top-down projects. Below is the most basic setup for our Player […]
