I have been a very satisfied user of the first generation Oculus Quest for the past year or so.
So, when I heard that Facebook would be announcing the Oculus Quest 2 at their Facebook Connect event, I wanted to watch — that was a bit of a busy week what with Apple announcing their new iPads and watches the previous day and so on.
I’ve had to put my game development adventures on hold for a bit since Apple released iOS 14 this week and I had to update my existing apps for the new OS version. I do this (more or less) every year so that the apps that I have on the App Store continue to support the latest functionality and takes advantage of any bug fixes in the new release.
A lot has changed with Unity since I last used it. One of those changes appears to be Unity Learn.
I really don’t remember Unity Learn from the last time I used Unity. Maybe the site was there but wasn’t as useful … or full of content.
So, I decided to give Unity a try before I went too far down the road with Flutter as my choice for developing games.
Of course, as usual, I have to get my tools together for Unity too 😃
The last time I’d worked with Unity, I’d tried out Bolt, which is a visual scripting tool which promises to let you do a lot of stuff without writing any code.
I’m working on a new game. Or rather, on the idea of starting a new game 😃
One of the first things that you might have to consider when creating a game is the platforms that you want the game to be available on and the programming language that you’ll use to code (or program) the game in.
I wrote yesterday about the start of my new game development journey. It wasn’t a buttery smooth start by any means 😃 But I’ve been persevering with the issues I ran into with Tiled and was able to get things to work correctly after all.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
