Unity+Android on Mac

MentalFish — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 15:41:26 +0000

Right off the bat, installing the Android SDK was a bit of a “huh?” moment, but I came across this nice guide for getting up to speed with installing the Android SDK on a Mac: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTh1i-7D75o

So to recap and make it more geared towards Unity peeps, do this:

Download the latest SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Unpack it and place it somewhere, i.e. /Developer/android-sdk-macosx/
Fire up a terminal window go to /Developer/android-sdk-macosx/tools and execute the Android SDK Manager: ./android
When the window pops up, check the boxes for target APIs you need, and hit “Install x packages” <- x the number of packages to install
Connect your Android device to your Mac with a USB cable and go to it’s Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging and turn it on
When you build for Android in Unity the first time, point it to the /Developer/android-sdk-macosx/ folder when it asks for the SDK location

Tadaaa!

if(Tadaaa==false)
{
RestartUnity(“BuildAndRunAgain”);
}

Game Dev 2012

MentalFish — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:37:32 +0000

Its 2012 and the local peeps are awesome. After attending Bergen Game Jam last weekend and the first international Join Game conference yesterday and today, one can not help but to be excited and inspired to get back into the game dev mode. I need to update some LScripts and I think some Unity/C# scripts should be released too. Sharing is caring.

If you so happen to be a Norwegian or a local Bergeneese, head over to spillmakerlauget.no and join in on the game dev fun. If you are in the 3D/CG realm, then also head over to cgbergen.org and join the mailing list.

Full steam ahead!

It’s been a few days since the Android version went live, and I am awaiting the approval process from the App Store. In any case, the swtor.com RSS reader marks the kick off for many iOS and Android apps in the coming months.

New game in development: B.A.G.

MentalFish and Scary-Monsters have teamed up to deliver an absurd experience in the form of a 3′rd person shooter named B.A.G. The game is a tribute to the 80′ies comic D.R. & Quinch and will feature ridiculous weaponry for disposal of annoying aliens.

Leigh Bamforth has created some awesome models and first up is one of the two characters:
Unity turntable of Quinch in all his splendor.

Space ship a month?

MentalFish — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 19:29:54 +0000

Hmmm… seems like the plan for a spaceship a day will have to become something different for now. Perhaps a line of jQuery a day with a side dish of a space ship a month will keep the doctor away. Where is my 36 hour day cycle I ordered?

Hurry peeps, pre-order Unity 3.0 before it is released and save a few hundred bucks. I just got my upgrade to Unity 3.0 and an upgrade of the basic iPhone license, so it saved me 300$.

Also, check out the video of the Beast lightmapping demo, total awesomeness!
