Literally this week was spent at home because I have Pneumonia. No joke, I was in quarantine for two days and only just came back today. Nothing was done this week. This post is entirely pointless but I still need to make a weekly post so I will just keep talking. The pneumonia is mostly in my left lung and the medicine has this cool side effect of making my skin boil in the sun, cool! I got an x-ray and they said, "yep, that's pneumonia, you have to stay out of school until Thursday, don't forget to take this medicine or you will die!" So yea, It's Pneumonia.
Next week I will...

I was accepted to my first collage! It also just so happened to be my first choice school! Now that that is out of the way, I feel like I have a huge weight off my shoulders and hopefully now I can put all of my focus on my work and get this game moving again. I'm gonna be honest, I have not done very much quality work for my game as I should have been but that should change now. I know that I don't have a lot of time left and my game is very ambitious for what time and resources I do have so it will be a challenge to finish it on time but I am optimistic.
For next week I shall...
Today I was accepted to my first university, University of North Carolina Asheville, and it also happened to be my first choice school. I am ecstatic about this development as this school will allow me to further pursue my concentration in game design and digital arts with a special program that takes classes from different state schools and organizes a program suited for me and my area of interest. I am really happy to have been accepted because this school because as it does have a very strong art program, it is not just an art school. UNCA has has a huge engineering program and marketing program. What I find most interesting is that the school encourages the different programs and areas of study to interact and sometimes even requires classes not in your intended major to be taken so that you can understand how to work with that area if the occasion requires it in the future.
The school Itself is wonderful but it also just so happens that it is also located in Asheville, one of the coolest towns in the Appalachian mountains. The opportunities are endless for the area. The local economy is seeing a steady upward trend and the community is very pro-arts. Not to mention, the town is in the Appalachian mountains. I would love to learn more about that gaming side of the community, as I know from experience that the town is full of nerds, and see how I can perhaps be influenced by that. I would not be surprised if I had many volunteers or partners around to help me if I were to continue making games outside of the school curriculum. I am really happy to have been accepted and look forward to all the opportunities I will have in those years that I spend there. I may even continue to blog in collage if I find time to do so because this is a very good way to keep track of my progress. Thank you all for sticking it out with me, we are almost there! This week was mostly problems and confusion on the side of unity seeing as how my laptop decided to update unity without warning and messed up my scenes. I spent most of this week reworking my scenes and messing with code to make it work again. Really what I did as unity decided to take a crap was work on stuff for other classes. This week could have been way more productive, but I really just couldn't bring myself to do much work besides what I wanted to do in unity. I really need to get working on my assets and actual game because I know I am behind. I will probably start working at home as well to get this game done in time.
Next week I will....
The past week I have bee working in and out of unity working with camera movement and functionality. I have the camera set up so it follows the character on a specific path with the ability to move only on the x and z planes. I have also been working with code and the level in relation to the cameras functionality. I want the camera to be able to rotate at a specific degree based on turns the player will make as the level makes turns. I am currently having trouble adjusting the player controls based on the turns of the level which really disorients the player with was unintended.
For next week I will...
