Ok,…just a quick post. It was again a desaster. The theme was islands and I decided to create a RTS. After about 15h I realized that it might be too complex (also I had quite a lot done on the model/logic-side) and switched to a so easy third
A couple of days left until the next ludum dare gamedev-competition will be started. As always I’m so optimistic to finish a game but even I think to avoid my common mistakes I have to face the fact that the chance is quite high to suck again,… We’ll

One year ago it started all. My fire for game development was lit again and is still burning. Although I have to admit that most of the times I really was not able to finish anything countable as I’m much too ambitious. And this time? Well,…for sure I
Well, started in miniLD13 I currently work on a simple shoot ‘em up spaceship shooter. For that I let me more time in order to build more reusable code. I see this more as a prototype implementation for my own game framework based on jMonkeyEngine and blender. Here a first
