Howto: Remapping the Animation Hierarchy in Unity
Working with animations in Unity has some quirks. Sometimes I will make an animation and I animated the wrong object.

Games 101: Data Structures in Games
Frequently people’s first foray into programming is in games. Sometimes developers come from other disciplines such as design or QA.

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…
