Pixar Here I Come

Day 34 -12/09/20 Today I couldn’t get myself to stop working. I was toying around with tons of different cool animation ideas for the two waves I was put in charge of animating. Around 10 PM I finally decided to call it with what I had, and I am pretty…

Fly Like a Hornet, Sting Like a Bee

Day 33–12/8/20 Today, my main task was to finish our aggressive enemy type. This was a fairly straightforward simple task, and essentially my main feature of this enemy was to have the enemy charge towards the player. Of course, I may have gone a little past the scope of MVP…

NovaStar — Base Functionality Complete

Day 32–12/07/20 Today, we spent pretty much the entire day meeting with each other. It was a lot of meeting time, but definitely well worth it going forward. We cleaned up a lot of our scripts and assets by organizing them into appropriate folders. This was a bit time consuming…

Day 30–12/3/20 I spent the day, and night, polishing up the movement and getting started on some of the attacks for the boss. This was a fun challenge, and I had to constantly remind myself to get back on course as my mind would start wandering about other features I…

Hopefully Not the Beginning of the End

Day 28–12/1/20 It is absolutely mind-boggling that only about 6 weeks or so, I started on my journey to become a developer. Zero experience coding, zero idea of what I was doing, yet here I am! Definitely, would not have been anywhere near this far without the aid of the…

It’s Like Mario, but with Cubes and Spheres

Day 27–11/30/20 As awesome as the cinema course was, I can certainly say, I am glad to be back on the coding side of things. Both aspects are very interesting but for me, I prefer the coding side, as you can get really creative with how you make things happen…
