Project Search & Replace is now LIVE
My Project Search & Replace tool is now live in the Unity Asset Store! This tool has already saved me time in developing games by doing some heavy lifting. I wrote this because I felt that Unity could use a solid, generic search & replace system. Watch the video below to see the tool in… Continue reading Project Search & Replace is now LIVE

Unity Tip: Advanced SerializedProperties
If you are writing editor code, it is common to use the SerializedObject and SerializedProperty interface to view the serialized form of data. How this data looks and acts is somewhat documented but it has a couple quirks. For this reason I’ve created a small utility class for viewing the representation of a SerializedObject in… Continue reading Unity Tip: Advanced SerializedProperties
Prototype Postmortem: PixelCraft
I have been working towards a couple prototypes for different possible games. My hope is that one of them will have the potential for a complete game. My direction is intentionally unorthodox, because I do not want to re-tread the ground of previous games. This also means that things don’t always work out like you… Continue reading Prototype Postmortem: PixelCraft
Unity Tip: Working with Resources.Load() Strings
Resources.Load() is the way to load ‘baked’ data (ie data that was shipped with Unity at compile-time). This is done via strings. Messy, messy strings. And what format are these strings? The path is relative to any Resources folder inside the Assets folder of your project, extensions must be omitted. This path value is surprisingly easy to… Continue reading Unity Tip: Working with Resources.Load() Strings
Unity Tip: Importing Textures
Usually when working with textures in Unity you may have a few specific requirements on how textures should be imported. Compression, mip-maps, filter mode, and wrap are usually my most commonly set flags. I’ve taken to writing a small chunk of editor code to help me set the properties of my images without requiring manually… Continue reading Unity Tip: Importing Textures
Game Development And Timelines
I have been working with Galatea Studios here in Tucson as we work on some exciting and unique projects. As we move forward with new projects Monty posed the question to me: “Can we define a general timeline and expectations for game development?” The end result is a rough ‘order of operations’ document defining terminology,… Continue reading Game Development And Timelines
Stereoscopes and Cardboard Part 2: Virtual Stereoscope
In Part 1 I learn about the history of stereoscopic photography. Here in Part 2 I am attempting to display stereoscope cards from the 1890s on my futuristic Google Cardboard. I took some time to calibrate as best I could the images in photoshop and place them in a 3d environment. At first I tried to… Continue reading Stereoscopes and Cardboard Part 2: Virtual Stereoscope
Stereoscopes and Cardboard Part 1: Digital Archaeology
Here in Part 1, I attempt to learn more about the history of stereoscopic photography. Part 2 involves converting this old photography into a Google Cardboard virtual reality app. I was in a rather large antique shop in Globe, Az snooping around and I came across some rather interesting photographs: These are stereoscopic images taken… Continue reading Stereoscopes and Cardboard Part 1: Digital Archaeology
