Generating random events can keep a game fresh and full of surprises, but it can also ruin it for the player if the balance feels wrong and turns them away from playing.

I go over how I'm trying to solve this problem in my new game using a simple random generator and testing the balance.

• I am familiar with the way it works and have been using it for most of my game development explorations over the years.
•  I can write C# with the help of Rider by JetBrains.
•  I use a package called FlowCanvas to help me develop the game code visually with rapid prototyping.
•  I can run the game right there in the Unity tool without having to compile and export.
•  I can build 2D games just as easily as 3D, something that works with my preferred game creation style.
•  I can deploy to many different platforms including Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. These are the ones I care about the most.
•  There is good community support and resources for me to solve problems and learn new techniques.
•  There is a big asset store along with the ability to import stand-alone packages.
•  There are usually pretty fast updates for any issues and a long-term support version.
•  It has both Intel and Apple Silicon-based support, this matters for me because I often use both Windows and Mac.
•  I can also use it to develop applications, not just games.

SwiftUI is emerging as a good way to build screens for Apple based platforms like iOS/iPadOS/macOS. It is a declarative language that simplifies the building of responsive views in applications. In this episode I’ll explain what it is and give a couple of examples. I really recommend checking out the links below for more details and plenty of visual examples.

You may not realize it but every game has something called a ‘game loop’. But just what does that mean? In this episode I try to answer just that with a couple of examples and reasons why you as a game developer should care about it.

Any time I look to start or rebuild a personal project I see it as a reason to try and learn something new. I am rebuilding my photography site from the ground up. So that gave me a good reason to look at NextJS as my static site builder and find out what all the buzz is about.

In this episode I share my thoughts on working from knowing almost nothing to having a working site using NextJS to build it.
