#TAGJam22 - Show Me Your Moves! - Begins in 24 Hours!

The Arbitrary Gamejam Comes Home 2: Electric Boogaloo



TAG has just come off a short one-month hiatus, and its kicking off right here. This time its a 7 Day Jam running from:

20th June @ 00:00 GMT
[19th June @ 17:00 PST]
UNTIL
26th June @ 23:59 GMT
[25th June @ 16:59 PST]
This TAG is has a special bonus rule that we're announcing early:

Bonus Rule: "Show Me Your Moves!"

This TAG, I want to see what you're working on! Instead of building a whole new game for the jam, show off something that you're currently working on or have worked on recently.

During the Jam, spend those 7 days creating a special #TAGJam22 build of your project that incorporates the themes. For example:

  • If your game is a Platformer, you could build a short bonus level or powerup that incorporates the TAG themes.
  • If your game is an RPG, you could add a short quest, skill, monster or item which incorporates the TAG themes.
  • If your game is a Racer, you could add a custom TAG vehicle paint job, or a new track.
  • If your game is a Puzzler, you could add a special TAG puzzle or a simple game mode variation.

Remember, these are just suggestions: feel free to incorporate TAG in whatever way you like! You have no obligation to keep whatever you add during the jam in your project forever, this is just for fun!

If you happen to be working on a different Jam during TAG, you can submit that game for TAG as well. Bonus points if you can work in the themes of both jams somehow!

As always, you can disregard the bonus rule and build something totally new. TAG is about freedom!

The themes will be announced when the Jam starts, and a submissions post will come shortly after.

See you all in a few hours!

Wacom vs N-Trig - A Modern Comparison

WARNING : This post is long. I wrote this because I could not find an unbiased comparison of the modern N-Trig and Wacom technologies online. It was written in response to the artistic outcry regarding the Surface Pro 3. If you are an artist, I believe it is worth reading. UPDATED as of 20th June 2014 to reflect N-Trig software advancements. UPDATED as of 23rd June 2014 to reflect new direct Digitizer comparison information. Those of you who may visit this site regularly will know that I am a game developer, but what you might not know is that I also do a lot of sketching. (Maybe one day I will post the stuff online) Since I am a geek, I do almost all of my sketching digitally, which means I am always looking out for new developments in digitizer technology. This brings me to this post in particular: Following the announcement of the Surface Pro 3 , many artists were shocked and disappointed by the news that the SP3 would be using N-Trig technology rather than Wacom techn...

Unity: How Adapters can help you write fewer MonoBehaviours

TL;DR: You don't need to duplicate a bunch of code to do the same things to a Image and a SpriteRenderer , or RectTransform and Transform , etc. You can use a simple pattern called the Adapter Pattern. If you've never used it before, this post explains how. The Problem: Image vs SpriteRenderer Lets say you want to make a sprite fade out , maybe its a dead monster or a collectible, but in either case you want it to gracefully depart from the screen rather than blink out of existence. Kinda like this eyeball monster from  Beastly : So that's pretty easy right, one way of doing it is with a MonoBehaviour that modifies the sprites alpha value via SpriteRenderer.color . Your class might look something like this: public class AlphaFaderSprite : MonoBehaviour { public SpriteRenderer spr; public float fade_percentage; void Update() { spr.color = new Color(spr.color.r, spr.color.g, spr.color.b, fade_percentage); } } Now, anyone who's used Unit...

Design Bites: Minecraft - Feed The Beast

The "Design Bites" series is about learning or appreciating just one design element of one game. It's about applying an analytical eye, even if it doesn't touch on everything. What's Minecraft - Feed The Beast? Minecraft is a Sandbox developed and released by Mojang in 2011 (Kinda, it was in beta for a long time). The player roams a procedurally generated world building things and collecting resources with a variety of tools. Feed The Beast (FTB) is a collection of Mods for Minecraft, which add new items, creatures, resources and other features to the game. There are many different Feed The Beast modpacks, each with their own goals and focuses. This article is specifically about "Feed The Beast: Infinity Evolved". I would encourage anyone curious about FTB to head on over to the Feed The Beast website or Forums and check it out! What's Awesome? Deep inside all humans is the burning desire to build a nuclear reactor. No? Just me? Alr...
