AR Portfolio Roadmap
AR Portfolio Roadmap and Pricing Update Today marks the two year anniversary of AR Portfolio’s development cycle, and around 9 months as a public product.

Chilton’s Christmas Game Builder Bundle
Chilton’s Christmas Game Builder Bundle Christmas, ten years ago, I decided I really wanted to get serious about making video games. I spent every penny I had on buying the best game engine and modeling software I could buy, and came out of it a few months later with pretty much nothing to show. The game engines back then were complicated and buggy, and the modeling tools barely ran on my low end computer. But the part that kept me back more than anything else was a giant lack of knowledge about howRead More
