Okay okay, I do promise a lot to create small games and tragically stopped in the middle of the development. I’d like to start it again. Heheh.

Yeah, I also rolled my eyes :p

I’ll make a simple tap game on mobile.

I’ll update this post

It was lazy Saturday afternoon and I got spare time. After hectic weekday, it’s time to do some fun stuffs! Yay! What should I do.. what should I do… How about making a game? It’s been a while since I made a game by my own to let off some steam.

At first I thought “Hey Giri, maybe you can make 7 game in 7 hours, just throw away ideas, hackish code, and slap away those amazingly-ugly-arts of yours!” Mmm, really tempting, and I did willing to do so. I started my timer for the first game in 45 minutes, but little did I know, it was exhausting and one game is enough.

A super simple handsome guy about matching card game. The idea just came out of nowhere, the thing is I can exercise my game development skill using widely known mechanic like this one. Because the mechanic was so simple, I can focus more on problem solving such as random generation of card pairs. You can peek on my github.

HTML 5 exports from Unity as always made a huge size. A game like this one already as heavy as 13 Mb, whew. But Unity is really fast prototyping game engine, I quite fond of it. But maybe I’ll try web game engine (or framework?) like Phaser. Small size games are sexy.

Some post mortem? Made something finished is always fulfilling.

“Save game objects in prefabs and apply them”. Easy task, eh? But it’s becoming tiresome when you have more than 10 of them. Luckily someone made the answer in Unity Forum:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
 
public class ApplyPrefabChanges : MonoBehaviour
{
    [MenuItem("Tools/Apply Prefab Changes %#p")]
    static public void applyPrefabChanges()
    {
        var obj = Selection.activeGameObject;
        if(obj!=null)
        {
            var prefab_root = PrefabUtility.FindPrefabRoot(obj);
            var prefab_src = PrefabUtility.GetPrefabParent(prefab_root);
            if(prefab_src!=null)
            {
                PrefabUtility.ReplacePrefab(prefab_root, prefab_src,  ReplacePrefabOptions.ConnectToPrefab);
                Debug.Log("Updating prefab : "+AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(prefab_src));
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.Log("Selected has no prefab");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("Nothing selected");
        }
    }
}

There’s also some useful tools from Trinket Studios which compiled some other great keyboar shortcut stuff in this github repo. Check them out!

I recently played Oxenfree and tried the portal thingy

And today I to played with the StringBuilder

It’s fun to have something to tinker with
