Unity Vector3.Lerp vs Vector3.Slerp
There’s a lot of confusion on the differences between Vector3.Lerp and Vector3.Slerp. I know because I have been confused by it for a while. Even when I thought I had it covered (and I posted about it before) I was corrected to the reality that I wasn’t. The fact is, after you understand it, it’s […] more…
Bristlebots!
I know, there’s a lot of websites out there that show how to make them. But I’m having fun! My girlfriend needs them for her Science activities with kids, and I thought I could try and make them work the best they can. more…
International Business Learning Games Conference
Last year I was invited by a friend to attend the International Business Learning Games Competition in Dublin, where she was a judge. I try to go to many kinds of games related events because, not only I love games, I think my knowledge about games should expand the most I can to more than […] more…
Mars Rover revisited
Like always I’ve taken ages to update my website. I’ve been learning more and more Unity3D and have been finally working on my own game for a while. At some point I had too many ideas, started prototypes, and no real consistent project going on (other than, of course, my day job at Plumbee). After […] more…
The Adventure Cube – Intel IoT Roadshow – 2nd Prize

How to use Sketchup models in Unity
I’m currently working on a remake for my Light Asylum games (1 and 2) and, at the time, I made most of the visuals of the game in Sketchup. Sketchup is amazingly easy to use and I didn’t want to spend a lot of time learning 3D softwares to make a simple room. At the […] more…
Puzzle Dependency Charts
I was pleasantly surprised that Ron Gilbert (one of the creators of classic games like Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island) was going to create a new adventure game based on the same look as Maniac Mansion. He created a Kickstarter project and a development blog. I was really happy with this so I started reading all […] more…
A game developer I am…. am I?
My last post was about my best try to get into the games development business (as an employee). That specific try didn’t work, as no one in Mind Candy contacted me or replied to any of my emails. I was really tired of developing apps and I wanted to, finally, fulfil my childhood dream of becoming […] more…
A game as a cover letter for Mind Candy
Since I was just a kid, playing in my old ZX Spectrum, that I had a dream of becoming a professional game developer. That’s something that was difficult to become in Portugal, but I still learned a lot making games in Pascal using Assembly to make them fast. Now that I’m 37 and moved to […] more…
Kids game Mars Rover in a science event
Last Sunday I was able to finally show a game of mine in a science event in London.

The idea is simple: you have to control the Mars rover “Opportunity” to […] more…
