• The End Of The Line
  November 28, 2019 by XCVG

  With a heavy(ish) heart, I'm setting an official date for end of support: December 20, 2019 . After that date, no further updates will be issued (though keep reading). That's only two years after lau... Continue reading
• The Final Update
  May 03, 2018 by XCVG

  A few months back, I kind of left things up in the air. I said I was taking a break, and as you can see I did. I came back a few weeks ago and decided to add a little bit more and then close the book... Continue reading
• Of Sunk Costs and Shifting Priorities
  February 21, 2018 by XCVG

  It's official: Firefighter VR+Touch is on a break. The long and short of it is that I just can't get motivated to work on it. Part of it is the lack of response I'm getting on it, part of it is my own... Continue reading
• On Time and Under Budget (mostly)
  December 05, 2017 by XCVG

  For the first time ever, it looks like I'm going to make my launch date! Well, okay, I was originally hoping to launch in October, but usually it slips more than this. Just let me have this, okay? In... Continue reading

  October 28, 2017 by XCVG

  Over the past few weeks, I've seen some other people's games and I've received some feedback on Firefighter VR (yay for networking!). It's been humbling, it's been... honestly, kind of demotivating, i... Continue reading
• A Brief Update, and Notes on VR
  September 27, 2017 by XCVG

  It's been a while since the last update. Life has been busy, and progress on Firefighter VR has been slow. Let me assure you that this project is far from dead. We'll get there, even if it takes a whi... Continue reading
• Building levels by the numbers, Part V
  August 31, 2017 by XCVG

  We're at the end. I've gone through how I design, assemble, and lay out levels, and all that's left is a few notes on detailing and finishing touches. In fact, the Restaurant level is already complete... Continue reading

  
• Building levels by the numbers, Part IV
  August 24, 2017 by XCVG

  The Restaurant level is almost done at this point, so here's the next chapter in this saga. To recap, so far I've gone over how the level is initially designed, how the architecture is built, how the... Continue reading

  
• Building levels by the numbers, Part III
  August 21, 2017 by XCVG

  It's been a while since the last entry in this series, and this one will be shorter than usual. I haven't hit any development roadblocks, but I've been pretty busy with other things. It'll also be a l... Continue reading

  
• Building levels by the numbers, Part II
  July 29, 2017 by XCVG

  So far, every level in Firefighter VR consists of a backdrop mostly made of premade assets, and a handbuilt building where most of the gameplay takes place. This is the planned format for the entire g... Continue reading

  
• Building levels by the numbers, Part I
  July 19, 2017 by XCVG

  I've just started working on the next level for Firefighter VR, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to kind of show how I go about it. First off, I'd like to preface this by saying that I'm... Continue reading

  
• Who we are, where we're coming from, where we're going
  July 15, 2017 by XCVG

  No, I'm not k icking off a deep philosophical discussion. I'm going to kick off this devlog by introducing myself and the project, how it got started and where I plan on taking it. I (sort of) know wh... Continue reading
