All the of the conceptual underpinnings and the affect of the poem\/the theory remains, but it\u2019s a simpler project. There\u2019s something very gratifying about this stripping away until what needs to be there is all that\u2019s left (something we talked about happening in the stages of a game design project).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Impending breakthroughs<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>-discovering I should be fading in between scenes instead of trying to change the fabulation by learning collision\/sorting layers in Unity.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-Currently sourcing some atmosphere (sonic), and learning how to insert this.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Building progress \/ growth[s]<\/span><\/i><strong><strong>&nbsp;(things that are getting easier)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Found using Unity for my own game in another iteration of learning a lot more instructive&#8211; Working with this material is helping the building techniques stick better. It\u2019s been interesting getting lost (from time to time) in different tutorials\u2019 methods, paths through the engine\/Monodevelop, and realizing where the possibility of precision\/elegance is in writing code, and where messiness just doesn\u2019t even make sense. Something about working with the programs while already knowing what your goals are helps to understand why choices are made when\/where (and serves memory better).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Above all, I&#8217;m finding the mindset needed to do this kind of work easier to access, and is changing my work process a lot.
