Building video games has never been a simple task. So to get his advice and learn his secrets, we sat down to hear his story and journey as a solo-game developer. Being a solo developer means you have very few resources to hand. Build on your strengths. Developing Dreadhalls was a challenge in itself.

There are many aspects to consider when building a game. This requires a lot of knowledge, skills and time to build and integrate all the components. Fortunately the Unity 3D platform has a great selection of packages and assets to accelerate the build of tools, models, shaders, sound effects, animations etc. TextMeshPro.

Dev Diary posts are made to teach game development through specific examples from my latest project: Highways & Byways. Good board game developers need to know when to drop mechanics and when to refine them. My experiences with developing Highways & Byways this week have made me want to talk about this. Click here.

This makes the workflow for 3D games considerably easier, by allowing conversion of concave meshes of any form into a set of convex shapes. Triangle mesh shapes ( ConcavePolygonShape ) work very well as static colliders, but they are useless for rigid bodies or areas, as they have no internal volume. The convex problem.
