Yogscast

YouTube is the most frequently used video hosting site in the world. It's home to wondrous amounts of  YouTube celebritys  like Pewdiepie and Tobuscus, but I'm not interested in them right now. The Group I'm thinking of is The Yogscast.

 The Yogscast is a famous YouTube group that consists of a large number of Content creators, Audio editors, Video editors and Artists. The group was formed in 2008 in World of Warcraft under the guild name Ye Ole Goon Squad (YOGS for short). The main channel consists of Lewis Brindley (Xephos) and Simon Lane (Honeydew). The main channel called 'Yogscast Main" or "Yogscast Lewis and Simon" started out as a World of Warcraft tutorial channel in which Ye Ole Goon Squad would complete quests, bosses and dungeons and upload them to YouTube. The Yogscast consists of:

What's so special this AR/VR media device?

The video showcases what the company Magic Leap is claiming to have already achieved. If you watched the video you would have seen that the technology is claiming that it can create objects that are "indistinguishable" from real world objects. Maybe because the some of the objects used in the showcase video are actual objects. in other words, anything he touches and uses (like the gun) can be easily distinguished as an actual object while on the other hand some objects like the robots, tank and especially the sentry gun are all added with Weta Workshop, the company who worked on special effects in projects like 'The Hobbit' and 'District 9'.

It's a bit obvious this is all a major fluke, but is it real? what happened to the $542 Million Magic leap made? Subscribe for updates on the matter!

TendoStudios additions

Well onto a more happier note, TendoStudios has grown! we now have a few new members! Including A scripter/coder, An artist (concept, texture) and not one but two! content creators (all rounder, modeller). We are also receiving outside feedback.

Production on silent system has come to a halt for we are working on a game in a genre that hasn't seen a major addition from in years, Real Time Strategy! We're developing a game for Android and ios and we chose RTS because it's a genre we don't hear much about.
We are trying to replicate something along the lines of Age of Empires and Warhammer 40K: Dawn of war.

No actual information will be given out at this time (security reasons)

The Unity Engine

Game making in the Unity Engine

 

Unity

The Unity engine is a powerful game engine much like Unreal and the Cry Engine but there are still significant differences between the three engines.


The Unity engine is a popular choice for Indie game developers because of it's easy to use level designer. The unity engine contains a 3D viewing window which allows you to place and edit features within the game. It's also easy to import assets (Textures, Models, prefabs, scripts) Into the game. The engine does not have any easy scripting services like Gamemaker and Construct 2, which both use drag and drop like coding features. Unity Engine use javascript which can be easy to learn but hard to master.

Asset store

Unity ,like most game engines, contains pre-installed assets but there's not enough there to make a complete game. So to eliminate the hassle of creating your objects, textures and sound you can download free (and paid) assets on the built in Asset store. Are you having trouble making that angel statue model? Download it here instead! How about instead of hiring an audio artist to make your horror music, Just download it instead!

So, as you can tell, the Asset store is a major addition to any Indie developer.
