Unity Project

I gave it some thought, and I think that I'm going to go with "Haunted Nth Dimension House". Now I need to give it a better title. hueheh

I picked it, because there would be less characters to animate, and more objects to interact with. I'm hoping for it to be really quirky, with an endearing protagonist.

The plot isn't really developed much. It's mostly just been floating around as an idea, but I think that'll be okay. I'd like for this to be an environment that people can explore at their own pace, in no particular order.

In order to stay focused, I tried to create a to-do list of how I'd make this happen:

develop concept/"story"
character and environment design
3D modelling of characters and assets
protoype in Unity (boxes everywhere)
camera, 3rd person character controller
trexturing/uv wrapping
basic rigging, animation
interactive items, animation
AI, events
gui
saving/loading
debugging?

I've never completed anything like this from start to finish, so these are just guesses based on a previous class in which I worked on a much simpler project in Unity. Again, I'll be posting my progress as I go. If I'm doing something super inefficient or missing some key aspects to developing something like this, shoot me a comment!

When You Start to Notice How Cute Frogs Are

I stumbled upon some frog photos the other day. It got me inspired to do this:   Here are some preliminary sketches: Now I've just got to... actually do the thing. /nervous sweating I haven't forgotten about Godot or programming, either. I burned out pretty quickly, but I'm gonna try my best not to drop it.

nth dimension mansion - story brainstorming

It's been a while. This week was pretty slow -- difficult to get anything done because of, well, my laziness. Anyway, back to this project. First, let's set the mood with some music. I built this table all by myself. I went through hell and it didn't help that I smoked a couple cigarettes and didn't sleep for seven days. The cofee was too strong... The first time I heard this song, these lyrics caught my ear (is that a thing?) and I thought to myself "there's a story here". Looking at these words now, it actually looks so plain, but when I listened to the music it felt to me like this guy just hopped through different dimensions and endured more than his heart could take -- all for this dumb coffee table. But he's had so much coffee, he's wired and it did things to him. That coffee table was worth all of the horribly bizzarre things that he was dragged through. Maybe he was like "dude I gotta make a coffee table for this amazing

A Cool and Helpful Detour

I found this channel called Jabrils in my youtube recommendations, and through his channel, I found his series on basic code. It's pretty amazing! In a short afternoon I learned some C# and Python, and it wasn't intimidating at all. He does a really good job of explaining things. I thought it'd be helpful to watch his videos since GDscript, the language used in Godot, is based on Python, and I learned that C# is the language used in Unity. It was neat, because sure enough, I started to recall some of the stuff that I learned in the Godot tutorials. I had the context to better understand those concepts that I'd previously followed somewhat arbitrarily. I really like the way the course is set up, because once you take the initial coding tutorial, you can then pick and choose what videos you want to watch, based on whatever concepts you struggled with. It kind of reminds me of the tutorial/hint system in Romancing SaGa, if you'd humor me for a bit: If I recall corr
