1st Peek at the game in Unity
Back when Sportsball was a humble XNA prototype, I had assumed the physics would be really basic. Mainly because I didn’t want to write a whole physics engine. Now that I’m writing the game in Unity, that problem is taken care of in the most fancy-pants way possible. That is...
New Game Announcement!
Announcing Sportsball Sportsball is a game concept I’ve been working on and off for 5 years. I was making XNA games back in 2009 through about 2011 for fun. Then I got a job at a game company and all that got put on hold. Here’s a snippet of what the fateful game...
Tipping Goat Goes to E3 2014 – Part 4
Last but not least, I headed to the Xbox mega-booth. Having published two titles on the XBLIG service, I was curious to learn more about ID@Xbox and what games indie devs had coming out. Again, there’s too many to mention, but here’s some that grabbed me. It took me...

Control Yourself
First off, sorry that it has been a while since I blogged. But here’s what I’ve been up to: Designing and prototyping Trying get trademark stuff in motion Banging my head against the wall with all this controller support mischief. As I mentioned last time, I had been playing with...
Control freak
I did some experimenting with the InControl Unity plugin, which appears to work as advertised. What doesn’t work very reliably is Unity itself. I ran into issues of controllers being registered and not receiving input, and an issue where one controller was reported twice. So far the general solution seems...
Beginning things
Hey, another blog! Starting my own gig is a full palette of challenges, and blogging about it is one small one. What’s been going on with Tipping Goat? I’ve been trying to get a hold of a law-talking-guy, but he never called me back. I wish I had better advice...
