December 8 & 9

These past two days have been crazy, but in a good way. I’ve learned so much from just doing a few sections. I realized that I should’ve gotten a mouse since I work on a laptop. There are so many different tasks I need to do but it’s a bit difficult when using only a track pad. I’ve also wanted to start looking at a new laptop, most likely gonna be custom made. I plan to make this into a career so why not invest at the start.

I have gained so much knowledge from these past two days alone. From learning to create things from nothing and the process it takes to get it running. I have to say that shooting was one of my favorite areas in the work. I’m an avid gamer and have loved video games since keiki days so of course this is a dream job for me. Enemies gave me a rough time and I still have to go back for reference. I’m excited to finally be finished with enemies and move into spawn. I expect to run into some problems but I also expect to find the solution to those problems.

Learning how to create a video game really teaches you how much effort and time actually goes into a game. I’m not too far along in the program but even the very little that I have learned, I now look at games in a different view. I no longer just see a source of entertainment. Now I look at games as a project that I want to be proud of and for everyone to see, play and enjoy. I can’t wait to finish this program and become a game developer with the rest of you amazing intelligent people.
