  • Laravel 5 Folder Structure, Before and After


    Hey! 🙂 This is a page I’m preparing quickly for developers who are used to the folder structure of Laravel 4 and older, just to serve as reference on where we can find things in Laravel 5 now.

    If like me, you are new to Laravel 5 but have developed apps using older Laravel versions, you might also be a little confused with the new folder structure. Let the following table of data guide you. Don’t worry, after a while, I’m sure you’ll get used to the Laravel 5 folder structure. 🙂

    Find what? Before Laravel 5 In Laravel 5
    routes.php /app/routes.php /app/Http/routes.php
    Controllers Folder /app/controllers /app/Http/Controllers
    Models Folder /app/models usually /app or /app/models
    Views Folder /app/views /resources/views
    Config Folder /app/config /config

    I know, I wrote this Laravel 5 setup tutorial earlier. But I honestly haven’t really gotten used to the changes in Laravel 5 yet because I got caught up in learning Android app development. Not a bad thing though! 😀

  • Facebook App Development tips, guides, and possible solution to issues

    In July 2013, I began learning about developing apps that run in Facebook. For a web developer especially one who works in a marketing agency, learning about Facebook app development is important nowadays because numerous amounts of campaigns are ran on Facebook.

    At first Facebook app development confused me, but after some exposure to it and some help from colleagues who have been doing it for years, I got the feel of it.

    Following are some blog entries on my Code Playground that are related to Facebook app development. (more…)

    Katawa Shoujo (visual novel) – 100% Complete Walkthrough / Game Guide for Routes of Emi, Hanako, Lilly, Rin, Shizune / Misha


    I was planning to write my own walkthrough that will guide you to the routes of Emi, Hanako, Lilly, Rin, Shizune, and Miisha… but then I searched and found several others, so I’m not sure anymore if it’s worth writing my own walkthrough. Maybe when I notice that this page gets a generous amount of views? And here it is – my Katawa Shoujo walkthrough.

    Please take note that the paths / choices to character routes that I listed here are not necessarily the “best” choices to make. They are simply choices I took to achieve each given route.

    In case someone hasn’t downloaded the game yet, following is the download page for the Katawa Shoujo installer. A good thing about this visual novel is that it’s free!

    Okay, I’ve decided to write my own walkthrough anyway. Though I only have a few so far. 🙂 More routes to come!

  • Symphonic Rain (Visual Novel) – Game Walkthrough

    Symphonic Rain (Visual Novel) – Game Walkthrough

    Symphonic Rain Visual Novel Game Walkthrough

    Symphonic Rain (Shinfonikku Rein) is a visual novel developed by Kogado Studio. I have played several visual novels in the past, but this one is different, reason being the music games / rhythm games in it.

    I wasn’t a fan of music games, but I have to admit that I enjoy playing the rhythm games of Symphonic Rain. 🙂 The songs are also beautiful that they keep playing inside my head.

    You play as Chris Vertin, a fortell (fictional keyboard-type music instrument) player studying in Piova Music Institute, in a city where rain never stops falling. Each route is basically all about you finding a vocalist to pair with for your graduation recital, while having a long-distance relationship with Arietta, the girlfriend of Chris.

    Following are links to guides / walkthrough to the game Symphonic Rain:

  • Inotia 3 – Cave of Trials and items (Guide / Walkthrough)

    Follow my blog with Bloglovin

    This is a guide on Inotia 3’s Cave of Trials and the items you can get from each cave.

    When you examine the Altar of Trials, it will say:

    I’m not letting you through unless you can pass my test.

    1. I’m pretty confident in my strength, so I’ll take the Strength Test!
    2. My sword is faster than the wind. I’ll take the Agility Test!
    3. I don’t support violence. I’d rather take the Wisdom Test.

    Choosing the Wisdom Test will also lead to “violence” though. lol.

    There are three caves – Crimson Cave of Trials (Strength), Green Cave of Trials (Agility), and Blue Cave of Trials (Wisdom). You can only take only one cave, so it is best to take the one that will give you the item you think will help you the most.

    Let me present a table of the caves for easier reading:

    Cave of Trials Type Opponent in Cave Opponent Class Item / Weapon
    Crimson Cave of Trials Strength Ogre Hero Brugal Barbarian Destroyer Hammer
    Green Cave of Trials Agility Shadow Pursuer Darcon Rogue Impassivity Blade
    Blue Cave of Trials Wisdom Chaos Mage Lachrielle Arch Mage Celestial Branch

    I chose the Wisdom Test so I could get Celestial Branch, since Lucio is an Arch Mage in my active game.

  • Inotia 3 Walkthrough / Game Guide

    This Inotia 3 walkthrough / linear game guide is a work in progress. The goal is to guide you through the game from beginning to end. I will be using an Arch Mage, so it’s perfect if you’re using the same class but still usable for those using a different class.

    Even if I’m going to try my best to avoid them, game spoilers may be found in this page.

    This is my second time playing Inotia 3 – Children of Carnia from the start, and this time my goal is to write a linear guide / walkthrough. I was a Rogue in my first Inotia 3 gameplay, and now I am choosing an Arch Mage because I want a golem, high damages and for damaging multiple characters.

    Part 1: Character Class and Build

    Following is the Arch Mage build that I want to achieve:
