Hello and welcome to this weeks Dev Diary!
Unfortunately, while tending for my wife while she has been sick, the flu catched up with me. Despite every sensible precaution (not involving hazmat suits or rubber gloves), We have both succumbed to bed rest, doing our best to just being able to p…
Let’s say you have made a game. It’s working quite fine and in your opinion, it is extremely interesting to play. Will it be enough for becoming a new hit? What level of sales can you expect to get? This article is my attempts to analyze some general and insider information, gathered throughout …

Hello and welcome to this weeks Dev Diary!
For the last two weeks, I have been spending time further examining the effects of re-scaling the heightmaps and searching for the optimal size I should aim at first. Since there is no further findings to go into detail for, I can only announce that…
That is a plausible solution. Try it, and see if it's performant enough for you.
If you're worried about efficiency... which kind of efficiency are you worried about? Mesh count? Configuration ease? Ability to dynamically create enemies of various kinds?

Make sure you are always linking the proper library versions for debug and release mode. D3d__d.lib usually is the debug version. Set this correctly in your project settings. Try to compile in both modes and see if there's a difference.
At least you should be able to recompile the engine lib…

- Hardware issues
The memory used by the graphics driver, by FMOD, and by Mono did not go up; that means it's probably the Unity scene graph that's overflowing. That at least should help narrow it down.

Hello!
This is the eleventh entry of my development blog for my project 'Tracked Mind'.
I decided to not wait with a specific update that was needed to update the engine version that the game is based on, so I went back to a backed up version, but I didn't lose any progress (yay for ba…
Summer greetings from Somero, Finland and welcome to the "26th Dev Diary", that has only little (but something) to do with the actual game. While most of the time here has been for relaxing and some manual labor when helping my wife's family with the crop field upkeep, I took some time with my w…

We shipped Urban Warfare last week (the new Battletech DLC) along with the 1.6 free update. Things have calmed down enough that I only worked on some simple bugfixes which isn't really much to write about. But I did have an interesting conversation. Kiva asked me if I could talk to a friend of h…

In an aggressive move to lure developers, Discord will allow developers to self-publish games with a 90/10 revenue split. The announcement claims developers are creating their own stores and launchers to distribute their games instead of focusing on what's really important.

Automated builds are a pretty important tool in a game developer's toolbox. If you're only testing your Unreal-based game in the editor (even in standalone mode), you're in for a rude awakening when new bugs pop up in a shipping build that you've never encountered before. You also don't want to …
