My game is finally working! I have gotten it so that the code is no longer breaking the game! The new script manager is nice in the way that it not only tells you that you are doing something wrong, but also how to fix the problem. In this week I was able to solve one of the biggest problems plaguing my game involving input and GetKeyDown. I was able to fix the error itself but still need to figure out why it is still not quite working on game. I have been doing some more research on smarter AI in unity and really want to get it so the enemy can evade some attacks and attack at logical intervals. My research has not come up with much in that but I am still looking for more things I can do. Really the biggest thing left to do in my game is asset creation and implementation because I don’t have much really that I can use in my game and want it to be more visually pleasing. I am happy to say however that I am starting to animate my character and have the first set of animations ready but not yet exported. I plan to finish the game over spring break and spend the rest of the year working on asset creation and touching up my game.
Next week I will;

Today I presented my project to my teacher in all it's broken glory. My game is a clusterfudge of broken scripts, non-functional items, and sitting assets, and that's just the first problem! I have been struggling this entire quarter with both personal and game-related issues that have severely delayed the development of my game and set it in a state of disarray. All I can think of is when we were making games from tutorials and thinking, why was that so easy? Why cant I do this now? What is wrong with this stupid line that breaks my entire game and stops me from moving on?? I can at least say that I am over the curve of problems and can finally get back on top of what I need to do in regards to finishing my game. I have always been ambitious and a procrastinator. I come up with these fantastic ideas of what could be, yet never seem to measure up to those goals. I want this to be one of those few things I am able to make amazing, because I am really passionate about it. I don't want these problems and frustrations to weigh me down and discourage me, I will overcome this and get back on top of my work.
I will say that my plan for 4th quarter is to finish this game and make it spectacular. I will be on top of everything from here on out and work day and night on this to fix the errors and move on. I believe that in the next three weeks I can have my game set up and ready to put in the assets. And the time remaining I will refine and build my game for presenting in May. I am ready Next week I will... (be on break but still working!)
I am happy to say that I will soon be taking a trip to unc Asheville to go to the admitted students day. I am so very ready to go to school at Unca because the school offers clubs and other opportunities in game design. I am excited to see what that is all about and if I can get some contacts in there for when I am going to that school.
Last week I did basically nothing besides freak out and cry. I have been trying really hard to keep it together and it is not working all that well. I am seeing a therapist and doing what I can in class but still it is really hard for me to function. All I can do at this point in class is draw what I have been working on for art class or work on already existing assets. The classroom setting is really hostile right now and I don’t feel safe here all that much. There is nothing that can be done to fix it so I just have to learn how to avoid the bad feeling and malicious glares from the problem student. At home I have been working on the enemy scripts and researching how to make my player fight and use weapons as well as enemy AI. I have found some helpful tutorials that deal with AI but I’m still looking for how to access GetKeyDown in unity as it still doesn’t work. Next week I will
I really don't have anything new done this week, I was mostly working around of a bunch of different small things involving art. I really don't have much to say or even to describe of what happened during the week because honestly I don't remember much of it. I have been looking into animation programs and doing a little bit of research on which would work best for my plan but even that was not much. My work is really behind because of all that has been going on and I am trying really hard to find out how I can effectively work in an environment where i am that uncomfortable. Most days it proves too hard to handle, but I am muddling through it. I am really appreciative of the people who are around me being really patient with me as i struggle to keep up. Thank you.
For next week I will
