We are about to embark upon a great crusade,
towards which we have striven these many months … While this may not be the greatest of crusades it has certainly been many months of work. It is amazing the amount of doubt, hesitation, and fear that building something from the ground up can generate. The concern that the juice will not be worth the […]
Another wrench in the machine
One wrench, two wrench, red wrench, blue wrench. It seems another wrench has been thrown into the machine… The project has almost become some kind of tragicomedy where new problems lurk around every corner. The MVP of the project is together and is starting to feel as though that was the easy part. Three months […]
The Eagle has landed
The eagle has landed, and its burst a tire The Eagle has landed! The work that went into this was far more than expected, but it was well worth the journey. So far this can be best described as a labour of love, as the many hours of frustration almost halted it. The finishing touches […]
Polishing the project
Finishing touches, and how monetization could work … The move into Unity 6 was straightforward and now the polishing of the final project is commencing. Things like ensuring the audio sounds good, transitions looking smooth, adding an end screen, and providing the user a way to scrub through the scenes will round out the project. […]
MVP to production
Two steps forward, one step back … Completion of the MVP has allowed us to move forward with the project. Reinvestigating the original sample project, from Unity, provided a goal of focusing on a simpler solution. As soon as the MVP was complete there was a loss of focus on the ultimate goal of delivering […]
Completion of the MVP
Completion of the MVP is within sight! Huzzah! For every company the completion of the minimum viable product is always an exciting one. Obviously it comes with equal amounts of excitement as nervousness, but it is a milestone none-the-less. There is still a fair bit of tweaking and adjustments that need to be made over […]
The end of the beginning
It is not even the beginning of the end … The completion of Edgar Degas’ biography is nearly complete. There is only the audio and transitions to finish. The next step is to overhaul the user interface to closer align with the Bauhaus aesthetic that has been chosen. Finally there will need to be a […]
Camille Pissarro Completed
It’s all starting to come together. The finishing touches have been added to the Camille Pissarro biography. I’m now focused on researching and writing the script for Edgar Degas. It has been fascinating to study these artists and learn more about their lives. That means the minimum viable product (MVP) is 2/3rds complete, and the […]
Continuous Improvement
The work is only just beginning … It was rough going through the process of learning Unity and figuring out how to bring this idea into reality. It has already been a rollercoaster of emotions and doubt to get this far, and it is finally starting to feel like the effort was worthwhile. There is […]
Current Progress
One step at a time. The progress up until today has taken a while, but I feel that it has been well worth the time. The difficulty in bringing this project to fruition is higher than I had anticipated, but by using Unity I’ve managed to work through many of the roadblocks. I have created […]
