Becoming Indie Game Developer: Why?
http://indie-direction.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html
You might be asking yourself: "Why is he doing that? My name is Alfred and not so long time ago I understood there was something wrong in my life. It's not like something is bad, it's just that feels like it's supposed to be other way. We all have this feeling from time to time. Feeling that we were born for something much more significant. I want to animate and not think of pay checks, deadlines and bosses opinion. They say - Grow up, man! I say - I don't want to! So combining the both needs I came up w...

Becoming Indie Game Developer: Weely Report #2
http://indie-direction.blogspot.com/2011/04/weely-report-2.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. Yeah yeah yeah the weekly reports are supposed to keep me organized and make me do what I say I plan to do, but… you know me! I didn't do totally do what I was planning to do this week although I have some breakthroughs! So let's get started with that! I have to thank Mougli for what he wrote at his blog. It really helped me with that! His blog is kinda the same one as mine is, but he writes only about UnrealScript and writes about that in a really good manner! She tries to get th...

Becoming Indie Game Developer: My 3 Weeks With MacBook Pro
http://indie-direction.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-3-weeks-with-macbook-pro.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. My 3 Weeks With MacBook Pro. I'm currently typing from a MacBook Pro. It's actually the first time in my life I'm all alone with a mac :). I've never owned an Apple personal computer. Apple products are claimed to be pretty expensive. Well in my country they are 1.5-2 times more expensive then in US with average income of a person about 10 times less. For us buying a Mac is a really expensive pleasure. So here is a "dream for rent"! Deliver a game from UDK to an iDevice. This will...

Becoming Indie Game Developer: Kismet vs UnrealScript
http://indie-direction.blogspot.com/2011/01/kismet-vs-unreal-script.html
Saturday, January 22, 2011. As I've mentioned in one of the previous posts Unreal Engine has this visual scripting language called Kismet. It's pretty powerful and simple at the same time. I really loved using it while making tests of our upcoming game. So far I surprisingly mostly had difficulties with the Content Browser and the Level Editor itself, but never with Kismet. Working with is a real fun! But one question always bothered me. Will I have to code? Where is the limit of Kismet's power? And it's...

Becoming Indie Game Developer: A little bit about Mustache Games
http://indie-direction.blogspot.com/2011/12/little-bit-about-mustache-games.html
Thursday, December 1, 2011. A little bit about Mustache Games. Long time no see! You probably thought I gave up on the idea and that's why didn't write anything here. Well no! Quite opposite, actually! Somewhere in July, I realised that it will be hard for me to achieve the aim alone. So I grabbed a few friends and we started working on a game togethere. We call ourselves MustacheGames. We work on the game called OfficeReveng and we're awesome! March 7, 2012 at 8:15 PM. Have you finished the project?

Becoming Indie Game Developer: UDK or Unity 3D?! Comparing Game Engines
http://indie-direction.blogspot.com/2011/05/udk-or-unity-3d-comparing-game-engines.html
Monday, May 9, 2011. UDK or Unity 3D? One of the blogs I'm subscribed to is. B y Johan Sanneblad. Who is like a Pro at game development. You can read some more information about him here. So he lately had this seminar where he talked about actual large scale game production for mobile platforms, namely iPhone and Android. There is a lot of interesting things said there, but among all I. UDK: Windows, iOS and consoles. Unity: Mac, Windows, Android, iOS, Web, consoles. Mark Rein prove that. UDK: UnrealScri...

Becoming Indie Game Developer: Creating User Interface in Unreal Development Kit (almost no scripting)
http://indie-direction.blogspot.com/2011/05/creating-user-interface-in-unreal.html
Friday, May 6, 2011. Creating User Interface in Unreal Development Kit (almost no scripting). UPDATE: What I didn't know at the moment of writing this post is that, even though the technology is supported by UDK Mobile, it won't work on iOS. In my process of developing/studying I've reached the stage where I need to create a UI and a HUD. (heads up display - the thing that displays all the needed information during a game) I was trying to not jump into it as long as I could. Because programming a...I hea...

Becoming Indie Game Developer: Weekly Report #3: Weapons, INI Files and Still No Tutorials.
http://indie-direction.blogspot.com/2011/05/weekly-report-3-weapons-ini-files-and.html
Sunday, May 1, 2011. Weekly Report #3: Weapons, INI Files and Still No Tutorials. I'm starting to hate myself because of not finding enough time to share things with you guys. But you have to understand that all of what I do won't matter unless I show some achievements. Which means I need to post a game to App Store and start getting at least some income! Now let me tell you a few words about how the study and game-dev process is going. I finally managed to add a weapon to the pawn! I also starting to wo...
