I don't like advertising.

ok, a disclaimer first of all, since it’s my experience this can become a very hot topic very quickly, and people feel they need to defend themselves. I AM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD NOT ADVERTISE OR ACCEPT MONEY FROM ADVERTISING. If that’s how you feed yourself and the people you support, and keep a roof over your head, I’m not about to say that you should give up that security, I know all too well it’s shit being broke, and I know that there are people in my family even who rely on income from marketing stuff. I’m not about to tell my sister and her boyfriend that their unborn kid would be better off if it’s dad were to quit his job and find something else to do.

Statistics are supposed to clarify what is quantifiable and true. we live in a culture where people can't trust statistics and that's worrying.

Halloween exchange with Dock

this is dock as EVA01 from neon genesis evangellion, didn’t know what to draw him as since I don’t know him all too well, at first I figured I could do him cosplaying bayonetta, whose clothes are her hair, but since this requires more hair than dock has it would be a naked dude with high-heel-guns, I figured that might be funny, but in the end I went with an evangelion costume, since, who doesn’t like evangellion?

(better plug the costume in or youll only get 5 minutes trick-or-treating!)

you can see dock’s rendition of me in costume along with all his other halloween exchanges here, his stuff is awesome as always, I strongly recommend checking him out 🙂


Unity Tutorials, BCS talk at Glasgow Caledonian

So I recently gave a talk at the Glasgow Caledonian University, which was more or less built on my world of love talk, but with a few extras and tweaks. if you want slides and my planned text, view this post in full to check that out if you like 🙂

Also I did a couple of Unity3D masterclasses, and some folks asked for some unity tutorials so as promised, here you are you guys 🙂

also worth checking out:

  • Unity Answers (someone has probably had your problem and solved it before)
  • Unify Community wiki (lots of handy stuff)
  • Unity Chat – irc.freenode.net/unity3d (friendly people who are helpful)
  • Unity Forums (kind of a no brainer to check out this place :p)
  • Google (plenty of other people are doing unity stuff, you might find it useful)

Ok, I think I’m all linked out for now, I hope that’s helpful, and of course if you are looking for help and cant find it, email me and I’ll try and point you in the right direction 🙂

next up is the talk, view this post in full to see it 🙂

Sophie’s Witch Game is now Lottie’s Dungeon

lottiesDungeonTextAnd it now has a proper website address and everything: lottiesdungeon.com

and I’l be making most lottie related blog posts on the devblogI set up there: lottiesdungeon.com/blog (expect a post soon about my first week of sales, with charts!)

I should point out in case anyone is concerned, if you have bought the game the download link you have will still work for new versions, since the web page is the same. (bought the game and don’t have a download link, you are not alone, email me and I’ll send you the address)


Witch Wednesday 1

yes, I know it’s thursday really, but I’ve been rather busy this week what with putting the game up for sale and figuring out this business stuff and all, I just wasn’t happy releasing the game as it was yesterday.
