Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! I may have put off these medium posts a bit too long. I will admit I got caught up focusing on NovaStar and also the holidays. But here it is! Anyway, the team and I completed NovaStar a couple of weeks back now. It’s still…

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…

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…

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…

Day 29–12/2/20 As expected, we are off to an awesome start! With all our initial tasks delegated, everyone got working pretty quickly. We have Ryan working on the Player movement, Mar and Kurt on the weapons, Chris on the enemies, Christian on the Mid Level Boss, and myself on the…

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…

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…

Day 25–11/25/20 Finally! After about a week and a half, I am finished with the cinematography course! I had originally planned on finishing it last Friday, but ended up running into a few slowdowns. Regardless, I was able to finish it up finally on Wednesday! Looking back at the project…
