Feast your eyes...
My new game, "Last Resort: Apocalypse", was submitted to the App Store on Thursday, March 24, and is awaiting approval. This was the culmination of 3 weeks of intense work, and I'm incredibly happy with the initial build. In order to ship as quickly as I did, there is only one variety of zombie at the moment, but that will change in the first update.
It's become painfully obvious that my portfolio needs a stronger emphasis on VR. To remedy this, I've polished-up my Google Cardboard Turret Shooter prototype into something much more stable. I'm also adding zombies. I was really always hoping to do something a little more original with this shooter, but it's pretty much been begging for zombies since Day 1. Now that I've got a final-quality zombie in-engine, I'll get a rough environment up and running before adding more zombies. The goal is to get this shipped to the App Store ASAP. Finished assets will be posted to a dedicated tab in the Models section.
Ran into a neat error while processing assets for a VR prototype. I imported a 3d scan into Blender that was made with Project Tango, and discovered the mesh wasn't shading properly. Since this was a prototype, I said "Screw it" and imported the mesh into Unity when I was done cleaning it up. Once I added a light to the room, I saw the potential for some good nightmare fuel. I still have no idea what's going on, but I'll be exploring a haunted house-style VR experience in the future because of this...
Ok this is exciting: after browsing job postings on LinkedIn for a couple of days, I noticed a decent number of modeling/art jobs weren't even in game development, but were for architectural visualization/VR. I've had a Project Tango and a Google Cardboard for a month now, and I've been DYING to start playing with them. Time to get crazy...
