Hangout Highlights – 3D Printing Game Pieces, Player Air Control, and Key Inputs

Last week on Corona Geek Hangout 155, we talked with BoardCraft CEO, Todd Porter about printing 3D game pieces to add dimension to games. We discussed the 3D printing game market and how game developers can use physical assets to add value to their digital properties.

We also continued our “Using Gravity In Games Series”. Ed Maurina showed us how to add air control to our game character to keep them from jumping outside the playable area of our game. Ed also showed us how to add key inputs to our game to make play testing easier in Corona Simulator. Download the project source code to follow along with the conversation.
