Happy Easter - Trials and Tribulations

Lately it’s been feeling like the world is falling down on us as we’re all forced to stay indoors. Development on the game is progressing but I still feel internal push back inside. On top of that I had some more stressful events this week which is taking away what little focus I had. I’m being tested, we all are. I spent some time over seas in combat zones and I won’t forget what they talked about at the base chapel before I went. They talked about us going out to the desert to get tested. I’m probably failing most of my tests. I am trying to get back up and keep going though. Sometimes there isn’t really a choice because a lot depends on you, so you do what you do to be a leader in your own right.

This week I worked mostly on the troops in game. I spent some money on new 3D models but was utterly disappointed with their animation set up and you could say I “wasted time” working on them. The important thing was cutting my losses and moving on to other things that could be better for my time. I really liked one of the models too, which is so unfortunate. Sometimes life is that way. We really like something, we want it to work so badly. We invest in it heavily and maybe it will work out later, but until it’s fixed we just can’t fit it into our game.

I’m thinking that I’m going to have to push the release date back which kind of hurts. There’s a new game breaking problem that I don’t want to release with. After it’s fixed and I update all the enemies and 3D models I’ll be ready to submit the project but not until then.

I got hit with a lot yesterday, and I’m licking my wounds. It’s time to stand up and get to work, no excuses.
