Writing about my project for the Fall 2018 Frogger Challenge.
![Post-Mortem: The Flesh, the Gear, and the Flame (working title: Monster Frogger)](https://uploads.gamedev.net/monthly_2018_11/1833933028_2018-11-2911-19-18_Momentblog.jpg.b32dedcb2b727a086ffd132cf52141ab.jpg)
I started this challenge one week after quitting my job. I had calculated that with my frugal lifestyle even my small savings would last me a few months. I feel this is somewhat unfair to the other challengers, but in the state I was before I went AWOL I just couldn't participate.
I had kind…

I've finally created a project page for this thing, but no video today because I just don't feel like there's been any significant changes. I've uploaded a Windows build. With Unity, of course, anything's possible, so I suppose I could also do Mac and Linux builds, but I have no way to check tha…

I decided to call this entry "Borders and a Goal" just to make it easier to remember than "Progress Report 10-Nov". I feel like I've spent the majority of time downloading and going through free effects packs, mostly fruitlessly. Kind of starting to hate particle systems, to be honest. From the …

I'm kind of still in the "can I even do this" mode, and today's experience hasn't been the most promising... Well, it's not a complete show-stopper, but pretty disappointing.
Created the fire trap:
So, what you should notice is, the floor - and almost the entire picture - seems to wa…

I'm going to make a basically vanilla Frogger, as far as gameplay. I'm completely out of practice in pretty much every aspect of gamedev, but I'd like to focus on my art skills at the moment (because I've been getting the feeling that I may enjoy that the most). That said, a few years since seri…
