Days 7 and 8-
Friday (7) I reached out for assistance in the Discord group! This might sound surprising but I really have only used the service like two or three times. I can see why Gen Z has zero interest in Facebook. Discord is sooooo much better! Shout out to Solace Eternal and Hellbinder for the assistance! I’m such a noob at this thing that I had no idea what a singleton was and now I do!
I’m posting this from my phone at the laundromat so I don’t have any cool screenshots. Saturday (8) I mostly took a break to hang with the kids and do some errands as well as get inspiration. I actually drove by the actual place I’m basing the game off of. It was actually a pretty foggy evening so I was able to really take in the ambience. I stopped at a arts and crafts store to window shop, pondering the idea of taking up an “acrylic painting on canvas” hobby (like I need more hobbies?!) and in the parking lot I managed to capture this picture on my phone of one of the lights. Cropped and edited, I’ve been using it as a way to keep my head in the right place or the project.
Ohmmmmmm
Today is super bowl Sunday in the states and I can’t roll my eyes hard enough at my lack of interest. Unfortunately I’ve agreed to go to a party and can’t get out of it, not that it won’t be fun but to be honest I’d rather work on the game. I’m bringing my son along and would be having him over tonight so id probably not being doing much work on it anyhow so it’s all good. Plus I’m all about free potluck food. Go “insert team name” team!
Oh yeah this is supposed to be a dev log, not a diary!
I’ve been immersed in the Udemy Unity 2D course about top down turn based RPGs and it’s been helping me to overhaul the overall design of the game and actually making the process much easier! I’m pretty confident now that this will be completed on time as long as one or two more mechanics I’d like to implement will work correctly! *crosses fingers*
