Today i have been doing some research to achieve reflection in 2D, there are a lot of imaginative ways to achive this, some of the best i found in video are this:

So kind of the easy way is using shaders, however i also like some more retro ways as describe in:

In the end, the idea is not to copy any of those solutions, but a guidance since is not a main feature but one i would like to explore by creating a solution to in this case 2D, from the ground up.

First day of the year was tough on productivity but some code was done regarding SQL and C# for Unity.

Lets hope this 100 days translate to the whole year. My goal is to learn,reinforce or master, a new thing every day, not just for this year and since im…

So there is one hour until next year and i hope to extend this month of gamedev to a year of gamedev, maybe not daily, it has been a great experience tomorrow will be writhing about the overall experience the things i learned new and the advantages of my background for this field. I feel that any field can add something new to the gamedev scene, but the tecnical part of video games have always been tied to math and physics.

So the future of my gamedev journey would lay on finishing the GameDevHQ certification and start doing my own projects, i have a lot of ideas and i will get the tools and skill to see them through.

Today i did like one line of code that is new year’s eve progress there, 2021 here we come!!!

This journey is far from done, but this month it is almost done. The more I learn about the ins and outs the more I am impressed about this industry although i like the take that have Orson Welles on doing a work in a new industry:

Today i finished the AI for the enemies, after some debugging and a unity crash i was able to get the code running but… not doing what i wanted, so i got back to the logic and found a variable i and variable j was declared but only used the…

For this part of the project, the idea is to have enemies with well define paths that patrol. Also,the ability to detec the player in a visual field that will be represented with a ligth of cone emitting from the flashligth. The first step taken today was to position the…

All done with the player movement, using point and click and triggers to change the camera behaviour devepending on where one stands in the level.

The point and click part, its done in a way in the course but i have already done some patroling using navmesh and agents before so i rather use that system but in this case for the player, the video shows a easy guide setup for this system and also a simple animation controller.

In the actual game i have more animations to work with and more states but the basics are the same, i was working with some ligthing issues still so tomorrow i thing will take the time to dig deep and learn whats going on, and also finish the animation controller, with some smooth turning and such.

Finished the last cutscene of the project, i will be revisiting them in the section devoted to sound. This part of the course its amazing it feels more like a animation/direction course but thats in part what i like about videogames it is another way of story telling, with the…
