Over the course of the next month or so, we’ll be developing an Omeka S site to host translations of medieval documents — which means we need to know how Omeka S works. Today (and over the course of the next week or so) I’m taking a dive into Omeka S’s documentation in order to prep. The documentation is available here, in case you were curious. I won’t rehash it, because explaining a lot of the technical stuff will get… Read morePlanning with Omeka S
Not a whole lot to report today, just some floundering as I try and figure out my next steps. There’s two fronts I’ve been talking about, Agile and Unity, so I’ll cover them both. Agile Simply put: I don’t have a whole lot I can adapt for Agile in my current work. The projects I’m working on sort of suit it — Agile is about incremental deliverables which add functionality, which is a lot of what I’m currently doing in… Read moreCode, Cactuses, and Kanban

Part of it might have just been that they were too wide in scope, but I came away feeling more like I’d been listening to an extremely redundant sales pitch than a demonstration.

For example respectively: monsters and how to fight/mod them; the fact that you can set up damageable obstacles and break down objects in your path (the written tutorial only… Read more‘2D Game Kit’: Day 2 (& Other Projects in the Pipeline)
