In this brief blog post I question where we go from crafting in game development?

In this short blog post I discuss briefly about assigning different roles to each device you own.

One, two miss a few... whoops!

My latest blog post for gamedevology.com carries on my discreet game tutorial mini-series...

This blog post explores how to tell your players where to go, without actually spelling it out to them.

So this week to break back into the writing mood I've started a new mini-series which looks at ways to hold your players hand throughout your game without necessarily holding it.

Read the blog post at: http://gamedevology.com/2015/03/30/creating-discreet-game-tutorials/

The series I've pretty much written out ready, just needs expanding upon and will be released slowly over the next weeks, I'm now aiming to write a new blog post every 3 days to keep my mind in writing zone.

So this week has been a busy one for blogging!

As I'm currently running a series for ‪#‎Gamedevology‬ exploring practical AI its all systems go.

The first 4 articles you can find below...

1. Exploring Decision Based AI: http://gamedevology.com/…/exploring-decision-based-artific…/

2. Adding Priority to AI:

Now.. if only I got more points!!!

First up not blogged on my personal blog for a while and then I had a random thought about save games this morning that led me to writing the article How loading and saving killed the magic of video games.

I also put a poll out to discover which Topic of the month I would be covering for Gamedevology.com. Thus it was determined that we will be Exploring Artificial Intelligence in Games, an interesting and exciting topic that I can't wait to delve into and write about.

This week I wrote another article for #Gamedevology exploring the idea of how time could affect games could affect the game world, evolve it or alter the experience.

This actually sparked from writing a blog exploring AI in games which I will be crunching down into digestible chunks and releasing over the next few weeks.

This week I wrote a blog post all about my thoughts on connecting the player to the character that they play. I'd love to see more games make more of a connection.

Read it on Gamedevology.com -> Bridging the connection between player and character

So this week I've written a blog to kick-off my Gamedevology website surrounding game dev and design research, exploring How to make Non-Player Characters more interesting

In line with where I plan to take my own game dev journey, post judging at a local game jam for Global Game Jam, and in line with my mission to helping future game developers, I wrote a blog post about how collaboration is key to making real gamedev magic
