You can find the first video here. How I put this together is illustrated in the second development diary as well. The noticeable changes I’ve made in this version include: A post processing volume with: 1) Depth of Field – I have it focused on the pawn, and it gradually decreases as the distance extends radially. It’s…
UPDATE: I’ve added my second prototype video shortly after I made this post. This is the second part of my developer diary series, which I plan to update on a weekly basis. You can find part 1 here, where I go over creating the environment art. I’ve also posted a brief video displaying the collision of the…
Wow, I’ve been writing like a mad man on here for the past two weeks! Anyway, here’s the first video I’ve posted for my Mega Man prototype. It’s half way through Bubble Man’s stage, and begins just after you drop into the water. The physics are way off, and I haven’t altered the values for…
Inspired by Ben Kane’s excellent The Great Porting Adventure series where he illustrates the life of a full time independent developer porting an XBLIG title to other platforms, I’ve decided to keep a development diary of my own. Oh what’s that, you haven’t taken a gander at his? Well if you’re looking for the inside…

Earlier in the year I was approached by Pakt Publishing to see if I’d like to work as a technical reviewer for two of their upcoming books on the Unreal Engine. The first one is out now! My role was to check the author’s work for any technical facts, and verify that they were correct,…
I figured it was about time I added another tutorial for UDK. This time I thought I would implement one for 3D games, using an over the shower style view, which zooms in when you press a key, like Gears of War or Mass Effect. It’s very simple to implement, and just takes a beat…
I’ve decided to start creating some tutorials of my own after becoming more and more frustrated with the lack of working camera ones. Take a look under my Unreal Projectst page to find out how to set up a Mega Man 2 style side scrolling camera and control scheme. I’ve made some big overhauls to…
See, I really do make games and not just write about them! Take a gander at the site I created for Death Sentence. It is still very It’s a great team so far, and I’ve been fortunate enough to hop on, although later in development to work as both an environment artist and web developer.…
