It’s been too long since I posted any tutorial stuff. I’m working on a specific thing to do with Jettomero this week and needed to create a dynamic diorama scene without being able to use my game shaders – since the final product will have limited use of shaders/lighting. Since I wanted to keep the …
Jettomero has been out for 2 weeks now and to celebrate I’ve released an exciting new update. For anyone that has explored the photo mode in the game already, you’ll know there’s a bunch of cool filters that can be applied to the picture. The Filters Update introduces a number of new filters, the ability …
To help pay for new translations and additional publishing costs I have launched a modest kickstarter campaign for Jettomero. My hope is that this campaign will also catch the attention of a wider audience as the game nears launch time. Trying to get this game out the door has been pschologically and emotionally exhausting at …
I recently added snare turrets to Jettomero, which will attach cables to Jettomero’s arms when in range and pull them until the turret eventually gets yanked out of the ground when the tension is high enough. I’m sure there’s many different ways to handle something like this but here’s a quick tutorial for how I …
I switched to a new fully generative system for creating my planet textures yesterday. I was previously using a few hand-drawn source files and manipulating those but now I’m using a particle system to form my source, largely thanks to the latest Noise and Trails modules in the Unity3D shuriken system.. There’s some neat features …
Jettomero: Hero of the Universe is officially coming to Xbox One later this year. The team at ID@Xbox has set me up with everything I need to get the game running on this exciting platform and I’m very pleased to announce that the game will be launching here first. More details on exact dates are …
Please note this is not a tutorial. This is me attempting to explain a number of things to both you and I to alleviate certain expectations about Jettomero that I’m concerned some people may have and that may also be causing me stress/depression. I know there’s lots of great games out there that don’t conform …
It’s not actually that complicated but this is a simple technique for achieving the effect of 2D UI tracking world space positions. If you’re new to Unity then this tutorial may be helpful to you. The Unity3D UI offers great flexibility, allowing easy setup of multiple canvases in screen space and world space. World space UI …
Two weeks ago I released the Jettomero OST – it’s one of my favourite sets of music I’ve ever recorded. It’s inspired quite a lot of by Boards of Canada, as well as as Phantogram, in addition to many more subtle influences. I ended up writing/recording each song in a single session each – usually …
Since I’m already deforming my planets at runtime using a noise map, it made sense to include the ability to add craters to the planets when a large event occurs (landing or blasting off for example). It’s not entirely ideal but my system seems to work alright – the biggest issue is that I use …
