Reference to: https://www.toptal.com/designers/ui/ui-styleguide-better-ux One of the greatest challenges that designers underestimate, especially novices after graduating is the importance of having consistent interfaces, interactions and workflows throughout a piece or family of software. In small exploratory projects, one might tend to get lost into the details and slightly forget about the way all the tiny pieces will…
Some more space stuff
I’m slowly, but steadily moving forward with the design of the assets for my space game. It’s really hard to make myself from opening the game design software and from programming the things that I’m drawing, it’s just nicer when you see stuff moving around and interacting, instead of static drawings. The vision is still there…
Meteorite and Asteroid
These two things are actually different. Shortly stated, a meteorite is a part of an asteroid which travels through space, orbiting around different larger things. An asteroid is larger, usually named, the bigger ones are called planetoids. When entering the Earth’s atmosphere, a fireball surrounds it and it becomes a meteor and is seen as, what…
Space Ships 101
So, I decided that before I start making anything move in my game through software algorithms, I’ll create all the game assets. I really mean all of them, as much as I can. I know that some will have to be changed and others will need to be created / deleted too, but I wish…

It’s yours and it’s full of your crap: empty plastic bottles, fries, some weird shoes and who knows what. You’re telling everybody: Sorry for the mess,I’ll clean it one day. But you never do it. It would ruin your…
Cooling down
Like many other people I know, I used to watch Dexter’s Laboratory. One thing I kept remembering this week was the ice cream in that cartoon. Whenever the ice cream truck came along, all of them were running towards it and I remember that Dexter had this perfectly looking chocolate ice cream slowly melting in…
New Logo
New Logo, same story: When I was in highschool I kept joking about the notion of sea wolves. In my mind, I was thinking about those old sailors in the movies or cartoons, usually grumpy, muscular, wise and with a mermaid or an anchor drawn on their shouldersl; they were the real sea wolfs. The…
