/ 2011-11-18Blog muito bom o seu, principalmente os tópicos que tratam sobre a matemática nos jogos. Estou estudando Jogos Digitais na faculdade e isso é muito útil. Keep up the good work.

/ 2018-02-20Came here after the E3 Wargroove video. Right after I saw it I really start to thinking about being a game developer if not for living but for hobby at least. Therefore, I do think that I should not follow people who are making different AAA projects and focus on Indie experience. It was really useful to watch Herb Sutter videos for me, even though I didn’t understand all the information now. Nevertheless, I will get better soon, and your links pile can help me with this a lot.
