Playing with Unity

I love jMonkey engine dearly, but it would be irresponsible to not look around at other tool sets.

I decided to take a look around at other engines since jMonkey doesn't have a very large range of deployment options. I like java a lot and I will continue to make java games in jMonkey, but I've fought with the Android deployment non stop for over a year and am just not getting it to sort of function. I would also like to support some play in browser capabilities which jMonkey lost when browsers quit supporting java applets.

I've used Unity in the past, it's actually what I first started learning to program on. I'm having to re-teach myself to work with the very loose way which unity runs. This is making the transition especially annoying since my current project must support networked multiplayer.

I'll try to have another blog post with some screenshots of any progress here shortly.

In other news, I'm learning jMonkey joystick support, and you'll likely see the effects of that soon as well ;)

Also, I set up streaming/recording software. I'm probably not gonna do live streams but it has made capturing video alot simpler. I'll work on getting some video previews for my games on itch!
