By Jason Weimann / May 22, 2019

See how my buddy dealt with a 10,000 line method in a AAA MMORPG. We’ll dive into the details, how the technical debt stacks up to give you insane methods like this, and most importantly, how to avoid technical debt when building your own games in Unity or Unreal (this instance was all in a custom in-house engine, but still applies to just about any general game development).

Unity3D AI with State Machine, Drones, and Lasers!

By Jason Weimann / April 28, 2019

Create a Unity3D AI system using the State Pattern and State Machines. We’ll build an FSM (finite state machine) in c#, make it generic, reusable, and able to drive our AI bots.

State machines and AI are extremely important in game dev, so we’ll start with a simple switch based AI system then build it into a solid c# FSM that we can extend and build upon.

And if you’d like to follow along, all the c# source code for this unity tutorial is available below.

In this episode I was able to interview Dave Green, an expert Unity developer who’s started multiple successful game startups. We discuss the process of getting a game job, how to get contracts, setting up a game development studio and company, and a whole ton of other stuff.

If you’re looking for a game development job, Dave has great advice on how to apply, how to prepare, what to expect in your interviews.

We also talk in depth about contracting, and the process of getting your first contract, when to start a company of your own, and how to do that.

But we start by talking about his Virtual Reality electric chair (that really shocks you and kinda terrified myself).
