Last weekend we participated in Mini Jam #63. Mini Jam is a weekend-long game jam that runs every two weeks and features a fun twist. All games are given a theme and an additional limitation they must adhere to.

It’s been a while since we’ve posted here. We’ve been hard at work and busy with life but our shiny new website is a great excuse to write again. In this post, I’ll talk about one of the most interesting features in The Long Road: dynamic storytelling.

I love micro-optimizing my code. This is rarely necessary, but I dislike unnecessary computation. Adopting these optimization tricks won’t double your FPS, but you can sleep happily knowing that you avoided a square root.

Balancing games is difficult, but difficult problems are fun. In this post, I’ll dig into some of the maths behind The Long Road. The Long Road (TLR) blends elements of roguelike games and classic text-adventure.

Sprawl is full of bouncy and springy buildings. This post is about this elastic building effect. I’ll assume some level of familiarity with writing shaders in Unity (and some calculus + linear algebra).

We’ll be using this space to write about our progress working on Sprawl and Architect. Keep your eyes open for tutorials, progress updates, and late-night-venting. See you all soon!
