Modern Combat 5: Call of Duty meets Micro-transaction Greed

A few days ago – or possibly last week, I can’t remember – I finally finished Gameloft’s Modern Combat 5 running on my iPad Pro. I had played the game quite some years ago when it was really popular, but that hype has fizzled out and after seeing it in the App Stores’ Recommended bin,…

Blue Vows: Character Audio Rip (v1)

Blue Vows is one game that I’ve had my eye on for some time, mainly because it’s literally a carbon chinese copy of KanColle Arcade, which is a 3D arcade adaptation of the Kantai Collection browser game hosted on the DMM Games platform. This game is in Chinese and has no English UI, so unless…

Girls Frontline Viewer Update

Just a quick update with the Girls Frontline Viewer project of mine. Development has resumed on it, however I am rebuilding it from scratch as I cannot find the compressed archive of the backup I made before I upgraded my computer hardware earlier this year.

Unity Game Development: The horrors

Time for a change of pace from my regular blog posts and just to get a few things off my chest regarding Unity. Firstly, don’t get me wrong. I hold Unity in my books as probably the best engine I’ve used so far. Before using Unity, I used Multimedia Fusion 1.5 and 2 to make…

KanColle for 3DS: Bringing fleet girls to the Nintendo waters

Firstly, this is more of an experiment than anything else. Secondly, I probably will not be able to even consider selling this port. If I talked to DMM/Kadokawa and introduce myself as a foreign non-Japanese developer and show them a working prototype, I might have a chance. I doubt I’d get a C&D from this…

PS Vita Mini-Review: Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified (2012, Activision)

Call of Duty… the shooter series that has been rehashed almost every year or second year. To date, this is the only Call of Duty title on the Sony PlayStation Vita platform… I wonder why. I tested this game with my Henkaku 3.60 enabled phat PS Vita with and without OClockVita (Overclock Vita). With OClockVita…
