Boatventure: Blog 1

Working on Boatventure again, finally!
I don't have time to say much in this post, but let's just say that I have a promise to make and that promise is that Boatventure is going to be up and running by the end of this summer. Currently working on rewriting all of the game's main mechanics and base infrastructure code and hopefully, that'll allow the team to get a vertical slice done this summer. The game is being developed in Unity and it's going very well so far! Writing a 2D platformer/metroidvania in Unity will be difficult, but I'm certain that the pros outweigh the cons. Throughout these development blogs I'll probably also be writing short game design and development tutorials to help people who also want to make 2D games in Unity. There's a lot to learn and I'm not the most qualified to teach, but there aren't many other people right now!

At the same time, I have some news that I'll be discussing in my upcoming blog posts. I will probably be moving this blog to a new location at our main site's domain when it's up and running, though, so just a heads up to the 0 people that currently read this blog. :)

Expect Greatness,
