How it's going so far

Things that are going well!  :)

Personal:

Played the game Destiny the days I couldn't do anything got to level 12 finally! :D

Came up with a kid version of one of my characters while redesigning her.

Just watched this video of Eddsworld recently

College Related:

I came up with a character to animate that would be great for a 2D game.

I learned some basic Flash software skills to make something come to life.
at first I didn't like my first character walk cycle however after doodling I came up with a pretty cool
cyber chick( woman not baby bird ) One of my tutors even commented it looked like a bounty hunter from Starwars.


Things that are going... Not so well!  :(

OK I really need to get a brief for this modual (Animation for Games)
I had 2 days off and wanted to do some work ,as not to fall behind, However after reading through a hand out that my tutor gave me and realizing I had no specific brief to look at I started to panic. Fortunately I had NCG Online to look at the un-printed breif, in as little words as I can say I didn't help!

I am struggling with research (As usual)
for some odd reason every time I start a new modual what Iv'e learned about how to research just leaves my mind This is really frustrating and stressful, just like maths.


Unsure if I'm suppose to make a 2D or 3D animation Must consult Tutor to resolve these problems


Things to mend:

  • Get Tutors advice on how I should approach my research for this and any other modual
  • Find out if the animation will be 2D or 3D or Both!
  • Must come up with a mind map to help me decide what character I want to animate.
