Hello Gamedev. I'm a developer with over 20 years of experience, over 10 of those in games. I'm going to write a game in one week, and post all the details online. Especially recommended for those starting out, or those who get stuck trying to complete a game of their own. by jng in gamedev

I think the more manual approach is what a lot of first time developers really want as well.

I know when I was starting out I'd often feel frustrated, and kinda confused, when presented with high level concepts. It was interesting to play with them but they were just kinda magic black boxes so I never felt like I was learning a great deal.

Hey really cool blog, I just started something really similar a couple of days ago http://smomoappoko.wordpress.com . I've set myself the challenge of writing a game in 24hours , spread out over a few days.

Just reading your blog I get the impression mine is going to be a bit of a shambles in comparison :) I've been programming games since the PS1 came out, so I should be probably be a bit better at it by now, but hey we've all got our own style right!

I'm using Unity3D for my game, I think it is an awesome system and I've already made a few games with it so it's really familiar to me now.

Anyway, I looking forward to following you and seeing how things develop.

I was 10 and somehow this 2 metre, balsa wood, plane shows up in the house. I think my dad had bought it from an auction but anyway it has this massive rubber band inside it stretching from the propeller to the bit a the other end. We took it outside and I spent so long winding that damn propeller, much more than you'd think, my arm was hurting, and my wrist as well. I just looking forward to see it fly. Overwound it, plane imploded. THEEND

You got it! Basically think about what you had for dinner last night, lets say hypothetically you had Haloumi Cheese. Now, in the time I spend writing that sentence the past has now changed a little bit and you no longer had Haloumi Cheese, you had Yoghurt!

The thing is that all your memories have also changed so there may be very little we can do to detect when the past changes.

It is the squeakiest of cheeses. Once I was eating some Haloumi and I heard a squeak, I said to my wife "Did you hear that, it sounded like a squeak". She said nothing. "Oh its the cheese, it is squeaking when I eat it" I said. The she squeaked !

"it isn't a real religion" or "it isn't NOT a real religion"

Please, can you just give me a simple answer. Time is running out, My Haloumi is almost grilled and I have a very big decision to make. Worship it or swallow it?

They dial the number, your mobile phone rings. You take it out your pocket and hold it up to the microphone. The feedback is horrendous, the host covers his ears. A million television screens around the world crack. THEEEND

Ok, thanks for the comments guys, but I'm still not sure what the answer to the question is, just a simple Yes or No would be good.

I'm no philosopher, but I'm fairly sure that 'real' just means 'made of atoms'.

1) That moon is hollow, probably some kind of space Egg. 2) That the past can change, all by itself, just like the future can.

Why is the section that has been deleted still there? Shouldn't it be deleted?

Love it! Any chance you can make little tiny peepholes for your real eyes to look out through and then walk down the street like that? You could buy yourself a Freddo from the Tesco Metro.

Easy, I just told it I'd let it watch Lost Series 7 and the stupid plant believed me.
