Bathroom Pondering

I was just having my shower, when it occurred to me that Christmas is fast approaching. Only 55 days to go! I was thinking of the gifts I would have to get for all my family and friends, some of which aren't in the same state as me anymore. Some are difficult to buy for, while others are really easy.

My brother, for instance, doesn't care much what I get him. I asked him what he would like, a game? some hardware? or money? He doesn't know what he wants. I will probably end up getting him a gift card to Sanity (other audio/visual shops are available) or the local hardware store. Or a book about cars.

My mind wandered to the people around me, and then I remembered the nice Samaritan that helped me get home several months back. One of her sons was interested in a train game, so that is one gift I can give.

I will document from beginning to end how I create the models, textures, gameworld and programming. The first three are easy, the hardest is getting it all together and programming it with no errors. I will use Unity for that because I have had the most positive experience with it as a game engine. It will still be very hard, but worthwhile as a learning exercise.

More to come!

Exhasting Month

Well a month has past since I last posted, mostly because of uni but also because of work. Nothing much to report except that I'M MASSIVELY STRESSED!!

I have soo much to do. Basically I have to learn to use Source SDK, importing to said program and create a level as well as textures and various other related game creation thingies.

And I've only got two weeks basically to make it work :(
It wouldn't be so bad if I had more time, but the scope of the project!

Though for one of my projects I'm creating a level from Stargate SG-1. Which is much more fun, and I have more time. It is only three rooms and some corridors. The most difficult thing will be the Kwoosh effect and the event horizon.

Still it is something I can put on my resúme.
