Shelving the Prototype
As an indie with a steady income, I have the ability to make prototypes and shelve them as needed.
Today is one of these times.

After spending some time to get Mercenaries running on Unity (2 Players + AI Skirmish mode) I find myself unsure whether the idea is worth pursuing altogether.

It's not a que…

Unity, here we come!
Some of you may already be aware that I was part of the Week of Awesome II jam a few weeks back (and finished 4th! yay!).
I've already explained my reasons to participate in this event, and one of them was merely to test Unity and see how it could affect my production workflow.
Following the competit…

Grand Strategy: Space War - "Mercenaries" -- Log 1
Hi,

I took a few days off this week. I had promised myself to do some devving on the side this summer, and exposed my thoughts in my previous entry.

Grand Strategy: SpaceWar (Spinoff?) and the RubberDuck...
A year ago, almost day-for-day, I started work on a game project which would later be known as Grand Strategy: Space War.
(Don't worry, I'm still working on that!)

A few months ago, we've chosen to scrap the way the combat system is currently handled because it does not meet our expectations of what …

Combat Simulator Update (A look on iterative design/prototype)
I've made a lot of progress with the combat simulator and I wanted to take the time to validate the current direction.
I figured, why not share this introspection in case this could benefit anyone...

At first, the prototype was a very simple system where ships woul…

The week that was!

Finally managed to release our first Video Log for the project.

Our intent with the video is to acquire feedback from players to see whether we're catering to their needs.
