My final blog post on my snake game, Garden of Eating!  Version 2.0 has been available here on gamedev.net, as well as on my GitHub account, for the past few weeks.  In the meantime, I've been busy creating a series of videos on its development.  I think it acts as a decent point of …

In my last blog post, I revealed that the story mode campaign for Garden of Eating was complete.  Following some clean-up, I've released the game as version 2.0!

Check out my Youtube video spotlighting the game.  And keep in touch on my Youtube channel for ongoing content.  I'm curren…

So my last entry was way back in mid-November.  Just before Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition was released and fully distracted me from finishing this game. :( 

But I got back to it in January, and finally have the Adam's Revenge campaign completed!  I've also added in the level s…

Since my last entry, I've worked out the level design through six levels worth.  During that time, I added a few more food types and features that I thought would add some variety to the game:

• Added cherries, oranges, and pears -- purely for variety.
• Added bananas, which make the snak…

In my last entry, I was in the midst of working through the opening cut-scene, and fixing some of the cut-scene playback issues I discovered during that process.  Since then, I've completed some extra features that I think will make story mode actually kinda fun:

• Updates to the food spawn t…

Since my last entry, I've worked through a rough cut of the opening cut-scene for story mode in the Garden of Eating.  I still have to work some details on the way the maps look, but I'm otherwise happy with the way things are going.

I had thought that cut-scene playback was working without …

Last weekend I was still thinking through how I wanted to store all the map, texture, and sound assets for cut-scenes.  Since then I've managed to work through the asset management, and have completed playback of the opening cut-scenes for levels in story mode.  There are a few things coding-wis…

I've worked through loading of cut-scene data from the JSON files, and am now figuring out how I want to load cut-scene assets.  I'm mostly typing up this blog entry as a way of documenting this to myself.  Cause thinking through this is a little bit hard. ?

When you hear "cut-scene", you mi…

Since my last update, I've added dangers / traps to story mode.  I've also added some minor visual enhancements, and have rough versions of the first three levels of the story mode campaign.

I figured I'd release an early alpha version of story mode at this point, which you can find here:  h…

I've been quiet here on gamedev for the past two weeks, but only because I've been busy getting story mode operational.  Since my last update, I've managed to get all the core aspects of story mode functioning.  Referring back to my wiki page on GitHub, I've completed points 1 through 3 and poin…
