For some reason, this week was largely dedicated to Rokkit assets. Sure, they could be used elsewhere, but the last three this week were all made specifically with the rokkit game in mind. 8 February: Dynamite, LOD A A stick of dynamite. It’s black because I don’t have a good paper material handy and I… Read More »

First week is down. Here’s what I made. 1 February: Modular Metal Ladder, LOD A It’s a metal ladder, 1 meter wide and 1 meter tall. Multiple pieces can be stacked in the engine to make a taller ladder. I went bare-bones galvanized metal to represent a really basic industrial ladder made from pipes and… Read More »

Done writing for October with six days to spare! Now I get to start writing for November. ~9,000 words. Then December. Anuvver ~10,000 words. At least I have the two holiday posts already written and scheduled for Feasting Day and the Winter Solstice. I should probably throw together the New Year's post while I'm at… Read More »

Workload Amusingness

Remember when those mean ol' poopyhead teachers used to force you to write a four-page double-spaced paper as a final project and it just destroyed your life for the two months they gave you to do it? That translates to about a thousand words typed. That’s what everyone used to complain about endlessly because it… Read More »

FPS Rebuild

By Patrick MurphyPosted on August 31, 2020September 1, 2020Cat NerdTags Devil Monkey GamesLeave a comment

Between a few changes in Unity and a major change in how I'm doing things so I can do some really fun shet, I'm having to completely rebuild my FPS. Which means just for S&G I'm building a new sandbox level for function and AI testing. And the old system had some "interesting" glitches in… Read More »

As of 9:30AM, it looks like I have just shy of a month until I go back to work. And by "just shy" I mean the nine hours it's been since 6AM today. That translates to 19 working days and a few weekends. And since I'm no longer taking anywhere near as much Vicodin as… Read More »

I encountered this article earlier, and it makes sense. The idea is both interesting and disturbingly accurate in my existence. I'm not stellar at any one thing, but I'm above average at a bunch of stuff, and some of it is even related to other stuff. That's what makes me a solid robotics tech and… Read More »

I Made A Discovery

By Patrick MurphyPosted on May 12, 2020Cat ProjectsTags Devil Monkey Games, VidgamesLeave a comment

Got bored working on some FPS engine tweaks to see how it worked indoors and figured I’d just make a little dungeon “inspired by” The Legend of Zelda. The original NES game, not one of the newer ones. Not hard, considering you can find full screencap maps online. Looking at these maps and from playing… Read More »

So I Almost Killed the Devil Monkey Games Site Today…

I went to do some upgrades to the site. Got some work done on a new and improved WP theme, got it looking pretty OK, then went to restructure the site... And screwed up a setting. Boom. Whole WP section -- the majority of the content -- becomes inaccessible. I don't mean hidden, I mean… Read More »
