Game Design Top-Down Project

This is a project I finished for my game design class a couple weeks ago.

Narrative: A military plane has recently crashed near this abandoned base. Little is known about the crash. That is why YOU must navigate this base, find the black box and bring it back!

Let me know what you think!

Game Design Side-Scroller Project

This was my second project for my game design class! 

It wasn't supposed to go wrong. You start stranded in a volcano, the path behind you blocked off by fallen rocks. You can't find the rest of your crew, maybe they didn't make it. Your jetpack certainly didn't. But you have to toughen up. You must use your abilities to escape this deadly volcano!

We had to prototype a level, first with a style sheet and a paper map, then whitebox and playtest, and then polish before the fin...

Backing Up Unity Projects

Not the most fun topic but super essential!

I cover two main ways to do it:

Easy to do at first but less flexibility in the long run.

Way more robust but requires setup.

Game Design Environment Project

The first task in my game design class was to make a virtual environment to get familiar with Unity, but I already know a lot about the software! I went a little above and beyond (I challenged myself and made it in HDRP), and I'm posting the project here if anyone wants to play it! Let me know what you think, and how you felt walking through it!

2Fast2Pong Version 2

It now has the option to play with a CPU with multiple difficulty modes! 

Also a pause screen where you can quit the game without having to close the window! It starts in fullscreen but you can still make it windowed by pressing Alt + Enter!

Have fun! Let me know what you think in the comments! If I come back to this project I may try to add P2P online multiplayer!

2Fast2Pong (My 1st Video Game)

I finally made my first game in Unity! It's a simple take on Pong that gets faster as you play! 

The base of the game came from this tutorial: https://youtu.be/YHSanceczXY 

W & D move the left paddle, and the up & down arrow keys move the right one! Press alt + enter to fullscreen! The game is meant to be played in a 16:9 aspect ratio! 

I may or may not expand on this, but I want to w...

Blender Low-Poly Humanoid UV Unwrapping and Texture Painting

This is part 2 of creating a low-poly humanoid 3D model in Blender! I'll admit I didn't do the best job here but I still expect most of you will learn a lot from this tutorial!

Viewer suggestions for tutorials

Give me a suggestion if something you want to see a tutorial for in the comments! I prefer things that haven’t already been covered in other video tutorials on YouTube and not hyper specific (eg how to make a ladder) but topics that can be applied in multiple different ways. I also like theory (like what makes stuff look good) but those tend to be the worst performing parts of my YouTube videos.

Low-Poly Modelling Resources

Some resources for modelling low-poly characters! I forgot to record this at the end of my low-poly modelling tutorial but I figured I should make this part available to everyone anyway!

May 2023 Update

Hey everyone!

I had written a tutorial script about uploading an avatar for the first time, but Sippbox beat me to it! Watch his video here! https://youtu.be/bSwMz4WcajQ

I also wrote a couple of other video scripts that I never got around to recording, so I figured I might as well put them online so people can still see them!

Intro to Blender for Game Developers (Part 1)

Hey! I finished my video for the month just in time!

At 6 minutes in, skip forward 2 minutes to 8:00. I couldn't figure out why screencast keys wasn't working and don't have the time / don't want to edit it out.

This video covers installation, navigating the interface & viewport, and basic object manipulation & 3D modelling.

Look forward to part 2 where I will cover textures, materials and UVs!

Please leave feedback! It would be very helpful!

This is the same one I uploaded to YouTube, but then removed after it got a suspiciously high number of views. Posting here makes it so that it can't be shared around to non-patrons.

Update on the tutorial tier

Now that I have a lot of people here, I figure I can start making more content for this tier. It will cover more niche, advanced topics, and most of the videos will be short and not anywhere near as long as the bakery tutorial I put out earlier this month. These new exclusive videos may even feature me filming in the real world to help illustrate points I make about replicating it virtually. I hope to upload one exclusive tutorial a month, even though I am quite busy right now with school. View Post

Shadow Toggle

The script that toggles shadows on a light on or off. As featured in my Day/Night Cycle prefab. I said in my Bakery part 2 tutorial that you should always have a toggle for realtime shadows if you are using them, as they can be very computationally expensive.

Edit: I’ve gotten a few questions already and I didn’t know the answer to them. If you have yuestions, you will likely have better luck by asking in the Bakery Discord server.

EDIT 2023

I deleted my Discord server. Thanks to all who participated in it!


I now have a community Discord Server!


I hope to use it as a way to interact with the people watching my videos and as a hopefully better and more direct way of delivering announcements!

I plan to broaden the scope of my channel from more than just VRChat world tutorials in the coming months, including avatar tutorials and other scripted videos! That’s where you come in...
