So....no one is gonna be here for the second class today.....My programmers left for some VR thing, and my artist decided to go home to do work...which means sleep.
So I'll be in class alone today...if my professor doesn't bail. If not, whatever, I'll work here by myself. SOMEONE has to take this project seriously during classtime.

OK, so my professor decided to leave because it was just me. So I left too. Good thing everyone is working so hard during crunch time with one official class period remaining...
Now I just need to put all the doors in place so all the levels are connected now. Once we get a piece in position to save room state, we can truely start building good puzzles.

I have to go to my lighting class meeting tomorrow because the teacher couldn't make it yesterday, so I basically drove all the way there to return a textbook...

Lovely...
Don't you hate it when it feels like you care more about the class than the professor does?
That reminds me though, I have a couple old textbooks I wanna sell, ha ha

So the game is now natively Joypad compatible, which means it should work with most USB controllers without any kind of add ons
I'm now finishing the Southeast Passage steampipe puzzle.
I'm wondering, how is the performance on your machine? Does it lag much?

Can't test it today, doing a 3 hour final exam starting in a few minutes.

OK, thats fine, good luck on your exam :nigga:
...though, what do you have an exam in? Most of your courses seem like they should be project centric...
Did it lag when you played it the other night though?

Were you one of the people who said they were having trouble with the camera?
I've added some code that remedies that. Now theres a button that does what the Z targeting button did in Zelda and sets the camera behind the player. Do you think that might improve gameplay a little? I find that that in my testing it makes me feel like the player has a little more control, and makes the pipe puzzle significantly better.
Also, my programmer helped me fix my extremely complicated steampipe puzzle. While the way I designed it might have been more complicated than it needed to be, the main mistake I made was I was the stupid with my for loops and it was all just a logic error...
I guess I feel a little better about my programming ability, even though that knocked me down a peg, ha ha ha. It wasn't as totally screwed up as I thought it was. So I wrote a reasonably complicated, somewhat reuseable program mostly by myself, and the only aspect of it that was wrong was a minor logic error.
God, I need to go to bed, I have a lot to do tomorrow, ha ha ha

I had an idea about the controls since one of the small problems is that they are never really explained in game, and I thought that maybe you could put the controls on a piece of paper in-game, and spawn it inside Ratboy's backpack for players to read or near the other items. I dunno, it was an idea that came to me in the middle of the night, it could weigh nothing so it won't affect stamina.

Well, didn't you notice the prompts in the corner of the screen? I explain the controls over time as you need them. The only one right now that doesn't get explained is the inventory itself, which we are working on figuring out
In other more urgent news, my car decided to have a massive failure in an old folks home parking lot. It basically had a diorhea. A whole bunch of coolant and oil just blew up everywhere, so we had to get that towed, it was working fine before that, it just randomly blew up, which is apparently what head gaskets do, which cost a lot......sooo yeah...

I dunno, I just felt a disturbance in the force
That sounds good, I'm trying to keep everything in check from 20+ miles away in my class, it's hard with such a delay...

So...I'm not feeling particularly confident in this exam...I need to keep researching and get into total physics mode for tomorrow. My artist is coming to pick me up
I got a 50 on that third exam, exactly what I had calculated. No suprises, but it still sucks...
I'm hoping this extra credit I got tonight helps put a dent in that. I just wish I knew all my lab grades so I could more accurately predict what final grade I need to pass

Oh yeah, forgot to report the results
I'm feeling...actually not too bad about this one. I'm projecting a score in the mid 70s, which should bode well for my chances.
Now we just need to publish the Alpha

So I've pretty much been blown off by my artist and lead programmer. My programmer better be in a body cast somewhere because we needed him tonight, and because of this, theres a real chance we bomb this course because we do not have an upload link when we were supposed to. In 2 different classes.
I am furious right now.

So, I just got my Physics grade back
I passed.
Also, in a stunning turn of events, I got an A in game design. Imagine that.
I just need my grade back in 276, and I should be an officially college educated game designer
How'd your final go?
