The talented Adam Mechtley (ex-Flashbang) put together a nice little video demonstrating how he built Marian’s new hair.
Marian’s new character model is coming together in a big way – looking way better than she did in our first teaser trailer with the new modeling, textures and everything else. 
As we develop gameplay, animation, sound and more, work steadily continues on Marian’s model and texturing…
Occasionally, Katie hides things in the textures.
My Gamma entry this year is called C4Ke. Here’s a sneak peak!
What is Gamma?
Gamma is a game party/show that features about 5-7 different games each year. The theme is different every time. Last year’s was games that use stereoscopic 3D, which gave birth to Paper Moon. The year before that was games that use a resolution of 256×256 or lower, which gave birth to Célu.
This year’s theme is 1-button games, but you can have up to 4 players.
Tons of people are entering this year – it’ll be interesting to see what comes out of it.
UPDATE: There are 154 entries this year!
Howdy! This update about our upcoming game Marian made it in just under the wire today.
Last week, a number of us got together last week to work on improving the animations in the game. Here’s a brief window into the discussion about Marian’s run cycle:
In case you’re wondering, our animator is Winnipeger Liem Nguyen.
In today’s tutorial, I talk about how to do basic collision detection in Unity3D. I also talk about messaging, getting more into code organization. Flashbang Studios have written a great messaging library that extends Unity’s core messaging functionality – making life easier for everyone.
We’re looking at our example space shooter project “Schpooter” again. You can play it and download the project files here. Remember, you can get a stripped down version of Unity3D for free here.

If you have trouble following any part of the tutorial, or if you’d wish I’d elaborate on certain subjects; let me know in the comments. If there are enough requests for certain topics, I’ll spin them off into separate tutorials.
Here is some work-in-progress detail that you probably won’t get to see up close in the final game…
Adam Mechtley and Katie De Sousa doing what they do best.
