What’s the Game? Geometry Shot is a mobile based game of simple but fun design. The game mechanics are straight forward. There are 100 levels where you have a central rotating shooter that when you tap, fires out a bullet that destroys the geometric shapes surrounding the shooter; giving a satisfying explosion animation. Progression As […]
A holy grail of game design is ensuring that whatever else is going on in your game, it doesn’t detract from the core game play experience. Examples of things that might distract the player are menu systems so complex the user forgets where they are or where they can find what they are looking for, […]
The big Rust game change that has everyone talking is the new XP system. In previous iterations of the game the only goal was to survive, as the blurb for the game stated. Literally, the only goal was to gather materials and equipment, build a base as safely as possible and survive as long as […]
Hey All, When Zack and I aren’t working on Level Design Speed Builds, coaxing Indie Dev teams to join us for a chat about their game development, reviewing code we or others have written, speaking to people about the services we offer or doing all that lovely admin that comes with running a studio; we […]
At Zark Studios we have a ‘Content Schedule’ on our Trello board to help us keep track of what we’re looking at reviewing, testing, coding, etc. and when. I sometimes wonder how we encounter the games and assets that we want to review. That’s my way of excusing the fact I can’t remember how we […]
(Edited after posting – see footer) Part of the reason we review indie games is that we enjoy seeing the stages of development. It’s always fascinating to experience the game in its early stages and get an insight into how the developers are approaching what is often a complex design and production process. I’m sure […]
When Omi Studio contacted us about Motif Mask, we were intrigued from the start and liking so called ‘brain games’, I insisted on being the one to play and review! Be sure to check out our YouTube game playreview along with this blog review. Motif Mask is a mobile game available on Android and iOS. […]
Hey All! A very quick post to make sure as many people as possible are aware of this. Bookmark this link right now: https://www.packtpub.com/packt/offers/free-learning Why? Because for the next few weeks Packt Publishing are giving away a series of Unity books that ordinarily would be paid-for. My rough maths puts this set at a value of […]
Hey All! Looking over the Unity Asset store once more I found a great asset pack (FREE of course…), that gave an almost complete set for building a cool Graveyard / Cemetery scene. Now this scene needed some creativity as the main church wasn’t big enough and I wanted to make the graveyard look used […]
Hi All, At Zark Studios we don’t build commercial games, yet. All the games we’ve put together are essentially fun projects that are designed and built to help us learn and share that learning with the community. This will continue for some time yet, but in the near to medium term future there will be […]
Hey All, In a YouTube video posted to our channel, we went through the process of fixing another script that’s broken in Unity 5, where it was working in Unity 4. Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asXRPm2OByY The script that needed fixing is pretty simple. It’s attached to a light component that flashes on and […]
Hey All, There was a great article (that I’ll link to once I find the link again…) about the need for game developers to keep playing games. This may sound like a strange thing to petition game developers to do, surely game heads play games! However, if you’re not in the thick of developing your […]
Hey all, Mark here! Looking at the Unity Asset Store I was pretty amazed at how much free content there was up there. If you’ve not taken a careful look over it, using just the FREE filter I think you’ll be amazed too! Now sure, some of the assets are not AAA quality, but they […]
Hey All, In one of our recent YouTube videos we talked about the process of debugging code. The ability to debug code, to find the errors in either a script you’ve written or someone else has, is a critical skill in video game development. In the video we use the example of the free asset […]
