Gary and the Avalanche Update 3

Starting to look like a real game now.

Added some simple navigation, pause game and scoring system.

There really is no better way to learn than by watching a pro and then putting that knowledge to use yourself. Have found bugs in tutorials code, and started to create my own folder structure for projects that makes more sense to me than that in the tuts.

Hoping to have this thing ready to put on the android store sometime next week.

Then i’ll have to have a serious think about investing in a macbook as I definitely want to target the iOS app store moving forward and you got to have mac hardware in order to do that (which sux but it is what is)

Flappy Clone Complete

Finally got around to completing my flappy bird clone today.

Integration with google play services was trickier than it should have been but a couple hours of googling and trying things and i finally cracked the secret code. 🙂

With my first 2 game tuts complete I’m now starting to give serious thought to build my first orginal game. the goal is to have a 2d mobile game in the android store (iOS store also if i can get the hardware required) with ad revenue coming in. Not a huge amount. If I make a single cent from this first game I will call that a victory. Its mostly about learning how to go from concept to store to revenue. Exciting times ahead.

Its funny, when i’m not in a position to start building somethign  new i have more ideas than i can handle, but now that its real, complete blank. Stupid brain!!

Anywho, watch this space as there will be updates coming at you.
