A most exhausted post.
Well yeah! It has been a long while since my last update… More than a month it seems. So it’s time for news! As you may or may not know, we ordered one of those fancy Oculus Rift v.2 DevKits. And I managed to put my order in for the first batch, so our very exciting new piece of hardware has already arrived to the exotic lands of Chile… But sadly the post office here is the model of dysfunctional bureaucracy, so...
What’s going on?!
Well as you may have noticed, we’re making changes. To be honest, I kinda broke our last wordpress theme, and I wanted to try out this new one, so I made some adjustments… and Behold! Newness! Yeah, it’s still a little iffy, I know, I still have to adjust a few things. But I hope you all like the general feel of it. A few things are happening in the development corner as well. First off, we finally got our very own...
Back Home & The Future.
I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been home for a while now. But with everything that has been happening, I’m just now getting up to speed. Once more I must apologise to people from GDC who I’ve been planning to write to but still haven’t been able to. It is an exciting time, Engines are coming out, devices, plugins, so many options!! I’ve been playing around with Unreal 4, which quite frankly looks...
Travelling and Planning
So GDC has been over for a while, but I am still not back to my safe creative space. Instead, I’ve been travelling around. Canada was very nice, It’s the first time I’m on a snowed up city like Montreal, and once you get past the negative temperatures, it is really a fantastic place. It reminds me much of my much missed Melbourne. The motives of this trip are not really business, although I did get to drop by...
We will be at GDC!
Well, Sam the art man will stay down under… But yours truly, Bernardo del Castillo, will make the jump to the exotic northern hemisphere (hooray for my 26 hour flight). It’s our first GDC experience, so I’ll be going mainly just to learn what goes on in the various events, but if anyone wants to meet to speak about Draw: the Showdown, or Tap & Blast or somesuch, shoot me some emails and I’m sure we can...
This post release week at Raptus Games (Kind of a Post mortem)
So! Tap & Blast is out! Phew.. that was a lot of work. And this period after the release of a game like this, is strange. I don’t know, we’re not experienced developers who have become hardened by the many titles they’ve released. We’re just some guys who want to make games and so they did. Twice. But I much find myself in a constant agitation. I feel like Johnathan Blow (minus the universal praise),...
