LevelDesign

In the process of completing our prototype 2 level which I am going to be really impressed to see. It's a lot bigger than our last one so hopefully we'll get a better feel for the game with this one. Got a bunch of free time from work now as well which means more uni work can be done! I also know more about the GDD now so I can start on that at some point once I get these levels out the way. 

So until next friday... 

Not a lot has happened since uni on Wednesday since I have been in work almost all the time and I am feeling fatigued so sleep has been using my time after work.

I did get a chance to look at some game user interfaces to help give me ideas for ours or useful suggestions.

I am committing to writing this blogg especially since we have set up notifications now on clockingit. Feels like things are a lot more organised now.

What now...

Pre Production phase 2 has begun!!

And I am not too sure where to go now... The GDD is an obstacle that I have never encountered and when looking at templates for them it turns out some of what they say might be good and some useless. Which mean I have to wait to know how to write one and I was really hoping for a head start so I could get working on this ASAP and I just can't do that mentally when I am walking in the dark.

Reaserch has been all of my tasks so far and I feel like it is time wasted. I am not doing anything other than looking at what other people have done when I could be getting started on this mountain of a document (In comparison to any I have writen before). I am stressing a lot over this because I feel useless just "reaserching".

There is still a new level to design for Prototype 2.0 so that'll be getting done soon.

Good news is that our team has encorperated a new method to keep track on our wrok where every Monday, Tuesday and Friday we write down what we think we'll achive for our next meeting and then if we have done our target. This will hopefully prevent late work, it'll help us see if anyone needs help or pushing to work.

Natural Disaster or Man Made?

Okay so pretty appauling finish. Just terrible. From being so possotive about everything I begin to hate the world again.

I thought everything was finished and done which was my mistake for not checking up and seeing if anything needed being done. Clearly this was not the case as we were so unprepared working on the pitch document up unil the final minute and then that needed printing and binding so late to presentation class. Great.

For the design aspect of this group we failed that day, "battle of de som" failed.

That being said it couldn't have got worse. But it did.

The actual presentation was a state, again ill-prepared, sloppy and I could have been a lot convincing if I had the time to prepare which will be made next time.

There was not a good point about that presentation, from poor presenting to being talked over by my own team members and being contradiced during the presentation embarresing us further. This showed that as a group we ****ed up. Anything we do diffrently next time will be an improvement but I will make sure this never happens again along side other team members with the same attitude! We are going to nail the next one, by making a plan for out presentation so we look like a team and not a group of kids introducing our selfs for the first time. We will meet up days earlyer and finish our work and have it so we can't do anything on the last day because we have nothing to do.

So putting that behind us. The show must go on.
