It's been a while since my last news, so let's go with the updates.

Himeki's development has been moved to Android, and a new project, temporarily named "Project Mansion", is in development.

Project Mansion is a "First person horror experience", developed in Unity. Stay tuned for more info!

As you can see in the menu on the left, I've opened a Unity Articles & Tutorials section. I'm still working on it, but you can already find some useful basic tutorials.

Here's a list of new articles I've published:

Hi, how's it going?

In this period I'm studying Unity. It's my first approach to 3D game dev, so I need to learn a lot of concepts. Fortunately, my knowledge of Linear Algebra and 3D math comes to help!

For the basics, I've followed "Unity Game Development Essentials", by Will Goldstone. It's a pretty good book, which helps you to build a little Unity project from scratches.

I'm using Javascript for the scripting part. I've also found a lot of wonderful websites with a lot of free 3D models! Here's some links:

3DModelFree

TurboSquid

Quality3DModels

3DXtras

Top 3D Models

And of course the Unity Asset Store.

Now I'm doing some experimentations, following the official documentation and the Unity forum:

The result seems to be awesome since now. I will soon start to design a little project, probably together with Alex Camilleri.

Thanks for reading, see you later!

A little lately, but here comes some photos from the 2010 edition of Gamescom, in Cologne:

Let's Type is the first game I've ever published. I developed it using Adobe Flash CS4, Actionscript 3.0.

It's a simple and funny typing game. In Let's Type, you have to press on the keyboard the right key that appears on the screen before time runs out.

You start with 3 lives. As you keep playing, difficulty will grow up, giving you less and less time. Also, you have to avoid red letters, or you will lose a life.

Let's Type implements a combo system. Every right letter gives you a combo point, which make you earn more points, but your combo points counter will return to 0 either if you press the wrong letter or if you press on a red letter, so be careful.

You can play it here:

Kongregate - Play Let's Type!

Newgrounds - Play Let's Type!

Also, if you're interested in non-exclusive site-locked licenses, you can find it in the Game Shop area of FlashGameLicense, or you can send me an email!

Two or three months later, I rewrote the game in C# using the Microsoft XNA Framework.

You can download it here:

This has been my first year at the Gamescom.
