Welcome to Zora’s Game Blog
Here’s where I will share my creative process and game development journey with you via weekly blogs, which I will also be sharing across all of my social media. This may be text, videos, images, etc, depending on what I've been up to!
#20: The Break That Wasn’t
It’s been 3 weeks since a blog, but the break wasn’t real, people! I announced my game, made a trailer, shared the team who are on board so far, chatted to wonderful people about my game and Unreal Engine at Unreal Fest 2024 on the Gold Coast, my 2nd grant application is nearly complete… what else? Oh yeah! Come read about it!
#19: Big Wheels Keep on Turnin’
It was my birthday this week, and to celebrate I sent out 11 work proposals for my game in support of my grant applications! We’re getting right to the end of this process now and I can feel it, it really is coming together. My game name and website reveal is coming in 2 weeks (probably from today but let’s decide that next week)…
#16: The Art of Simply Being
I’ve been on leave! It’s been scrumptiously crunchable. I’ve been writing, programming, and reflecting over my relationship with labouring on my interests. Plus, I’ve nearly finished my first small project in Unreal!
#15: The Development of Development
This week I’ve been building a first-person shooter as a technical demonstration while I work through a textbook outside of class. I’ve also been having to think squiggly thoughts about AI art and its problems, like everyone else.
#14: A Milestone Down The Road
I was slow on my blog update this week after acquitting my story summary and the dialogue for Act 1 to Arts ACT, and I made the decision to postpone applying for the Emerging Gamemakers Fund grant at Screen Australia until July.
#10: The start of something even bigger
I created a revised elevator pitch, and I’ve been spending every spare moment writing my story. I am honestly thriving, but I just want more time in each day to do everything that feels important to do.
#1: The start of something big (I hope)
Let's talk about why I'm heading out on this new adventure, and what it is.
