You are very optimistic about the project as a whole, what you have learnt, and what you have overcome. I think it is really good to have such attitude towards other things, but not writing a PM. I cannot see your actual thoughts in the PM. Everything is very general and cheerful, even when you mentioned that your one of the programmers were leaving. I do not want […]

Background Study – Blog 1
Problems
This week, I have been creating the background tiles for the game. I tried to created highly realistic and detailed tiles at the beginning because I thought it would suit the “horror” game aesthetics well. The tile looked good without putting into the game scene. However, when I loaded it into Unity and tested it, problems occurred. A screenshot of the testing scene is shown below. There were mainly two problems. One was that the floor tiles were way to sharp […]
