Project Update Post
I've managed to get behind on projects again, mostly due to having research and teach commitments that need to get done with a higher priority. Still I've managed to get a bit done and in this post I'm going to update my deadlines to give myself something to shoot for again.
- Project 5 - SNES Coasters and Project 12 - Chrono Trigger Sprites
- I've had to hold off a little on working on these due to house sitting and wanting to make sure that I'm using the same iron while testing.
- The SNES Coasters have been holding mostly steady, but I've decided that I want to build and test one of the bigger size before making others since that way I don't waste quite as much if I don't like the size.
- I'd like to finish and start testing the test SNES coaster by November 15, 2014.
- I spent a long time going through the Perler bead colours and discovered that I actually DIDN'T buy all the colours and I'm missing a few that might be helpful for the sprites. However I think I have enough on hand to make it through the small scale test.
- I've also done all the colour matching and think I have a plan for which colour of beads I'll use for each of the colours in the Chrono sprite.
- I'd like to finish a test block (just the colours) by November 15, 2014 and the small scale Chrono by November 30, 2014.
- Project 13 - Bubble Puzzle
- I haven't had time to start on this one at all yet, so I don't have much to report other than that I've decided to do a test with Unity that works well enough to shoot bubbles at other bubbles.
- I'd like to finish this Unity test by December 31, 2014
- Project 14 - Flash Fiction
- I also haven't made much progress on this one either so I think given that I'm still fairly early in November, I'm simply going to slide this back a month and hopefully put up my first piece by November 30, 2014.
