Estimate Work

Like my other RTS project that is fully on hold at the moment, I finally made a full roadmap of my new project. The current scope of the roadmap is up until prototype. I started to slack a bit (since I'm building this at home and not full-time), I noticed I wasn't as productive again a…

Nothing interesting really to talk about, just been working towards getting a simple gameplay demo. I've been trying to keep my 2 concept artists busy. I have a sculpting artist and a hardsurface artist working on stuff when they can as well.

Its a new year, so time to buckle down hard. I was never big into maintaining a journal on here but I started a journal last July about my RTS game ICBM.

Not everything I have done is in this video. I had a couple bugs with some other things that I decided not to…

Welcome to my journal.

Don't want to spend all day typing instead of working. I've been doing small hobby projects here and there that always seem to fail via burnout and overall lack of motivation. I think I've had 10 different game projects over 10 years now. I'm really pushing to see a project t…
