Due to a variety of what we believe are valid concerns about the use of AI in game development, the Xandercat team is committed to using absolutely no AI of any kind in the development of Amber Eyes. Neither for code nor art, nor any AI-based tools developed for the game engines. #IndieDev #GameDev

Amber Eyes development is heating up. One of the major game puzzle types has been finished and work is proceeding on kits for interior scenes. The core of the main story has been finalized, and enough scripts are written that some voice acting can proceed. We've been quiet because we've been busy.

With base melee and projectile weapons mechanics recently completed, we are just a few weeks away from having the first scene of Amber Eyes ready for alpha testing. Pictured is our Revolver model used for testing; it will also be the first projectile weapon players get in game. #GameDev #IndieDev

Since updating Unity from 6000.0.58f2 to 6000.0.62f1 our dev team has no longer been seeing warnings/errors related to particle systems. If you are still running a version from shortly after security patch and have seen those errors, it might be worth updating to latest. #Unity3D #GameDev #IndieDev

Our dev team is currently working on new interior sets using modular kits. One issue to mitigate is a problem where rigidbody objects can collide with seams in modular floor panels. We added a dev blog on the website describing the issue. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcIa... #Unity3D #IndieDev #GameDev
