Sooo, I’m now thinking my entry for LD19 will be 3D. I spent some time yesterday watching tutorials on blender 2.5<\/a> and wow they’ve made some great improvements on the interface since the last time I used it. It still seems far from perfect but I have to applaud their efforts. I’m looking forward to having a play. It’s great to see that the 3D view is finally the default =)<\/p>\n

I need to spend some time with that and run through the Unity tutorials again before the date so I’m not feeling too rusty. With work and all it will be a tight fit but I’m looking forward to the challenge =)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also looking forward to voting on themes this Sunday! My current favourites are Architecture<\/strong> and Loneliness<\/strong> or any other theme that gives me an excuse to just build a level and not worry too much about the game mechanics ;P<\/p>\n

If we end up doing something like procedural I\u2019ll have to fall back to Game Maker since I would have no idea how to do that sort of thing in Unity. Maybe for LD20 ;P<\/p>\n

As it’s Friday I hope you all have a nice weekend!<\/p>\n

Update: Another couple tutorial videos in and I am now completely sold on Blender 2.5 – huge improvements. I am so pleased =D<\/p>","time":"December 10th, 2010 6:30 am","title":"3D?"}
