If you haven’t checked my YouTube channel for some time, I’ve been working on using a ESP32 based Arduino-compatible board for a game project that has been suffering a lot of roadblocks. You can probably tell that I’m a fan of the Kantai Collection series. However, what I wanted to do is to “demake” or “translate” the game at the …
Current Build: 2018-03-03 13:23 AEST/GMT+10 This was a little personal project to make a “desktop toy” using the Live2D assets inside Girls Frontline, a game by Sunborn Entertainment/MICA Team that is currently in Korean and Chinese. You should really check it out if you enjoy a Strategic RPG that not only has fan service, but lots of action and a …
This is an on-going story but I’ll update you as I get pieces of the puzzle solved. The beginning… Before 2017’s year end I was given the job of data recovery from a old MacBook Air that stopped charging, and then it couldn’t power back up because obviously the battery was flat. I accepted the task and put it on …
As you probably are aware of, I’m working on a Third Person Shooter. As you see above, that gun is a 3D modelled Makarov pistol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makarov_pistol) that is going to be making a feature in the game as a sidearm. The Problem You may notice it’s way too big to fit in my character’s hand. This is a common problem …
Time for a change of pace from my regular blog posts and just to get a few things off my chest regarding Unity. Firstly, don’t get me wrong. I hold Unity in my books as probably the best engine I’ve used so far. Before using Unity, I used Multimedia Fusion 1.5 and 2 to make 2D Mario Fangames during my …
Firstly, this is more of an experiment than anything else. Secondly, I probably will not be able to even consider selling this port. If I talked to DMM/Kadokawa and introduce myself as a foreign non-Japanese developer and show them a working prototype, I might have a chance. I doubt I’d get a C&D from this as I’m not selling anything …
Well, I haven’t updated my blog in a while. Since the last update a lot of stuff has been going on, both for my business and personal commitments. It’s also raining which is a welcome relief from a random heat wave. I’ll start with business stuff and keep it brief so I can get onto the game development stuff. In …
I have a little fleet of IoT things that are well, Internet of Things. Right now the latest addition to my fleet is a $80 koala buck duinotech Yun WiFi Shield, which looks like the one on the right. Basically, this seems to be a rebranded Dragino under Jaycar’s “duinotech” brand, and while the photo shows “YUN SHIELD V1.1.6”, the …
Call of Duty… the shooter series that has been rehashed almost every year or second year. To date, this is the only Call of Duty title on the Sony PlayStation Vita platform… I wonder why. I tested this game with my Henkaku 3.60 enabled phat PS Vita with and without OClockVita (Overclock Vita). With OClockVita disabled, the game was playable …
In the middle of doing a lot of stuff so I haven’t been dumping thoughts in my blog. Will be posting a bunch of stuff later on, so stay tuned for that.
