I didn’t make it through the 5-minute tutorial before it crashed and hung. the IDE (Editor) adopts some of the project management interface elements from Eclipse and from Unity.

    I spend today trying to re-think how Aracataca should be structured. it shouldn’t be too difficult to create, but I’m still learning how to link things up in Unity3D. I realized that I’m probably trying to do too much with a single script. I decided to write/adapt the code chunk that changes colors with a…

    my eyes get tired around 4:30 in the afternoon. I worked on the alogrithm that will change the transparency of a sprite over time in Aracataca. this is a kind of sketching in the code of c# while I have 50 tabs from the manual open in a browser. I also tried to tune part…

    I updated the language in IoOOOT on gitHub.com/rafaelfajardo I posted a response to @bruces via rafaelfajardo.tumblr.com, but I think that might be a flawed channel. I almost missed his post. I watched videos on how people are making human-scale articulated wings for cosplay. I may incorporate some of the geometry into Arcacataca’s animations. The animations…

    Aracataca first post

    This is the first post for the project Aracataca, and the first post for the games category. I’ve envisioned creating an artist’s game based on the short story by Gabriel García Marquéz called A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings (Un señor muy viejo con unas alas enormes). I have been working on the drawings…
