Guess who's back? Back again?

Guess who's back? Back again?

Yes, me. Aww come on its not that bad. Besides, I'm just here to talk about making the game. Its a fun process making a game. Except for every thing. The coding, the building of the game, and having to, you know, do stuff. Building a maze is actually pretty hard. you know, having to move stuff around and making walls. But ohhh man is it rewarding to see your progress at the end of the day. I live for that now. The coding itself is also quite fun at times.

The game is based around the story of Icarus. But im pretty sure you guys already knew that considering, well, everything. Icarus was the son of Daedalus. Genius inventor from ancient Greek times. The stories are pretty crazy with him making machines that could very easily be confused for magic. Maybe it is.... I dunno. The story goes something like *deep breath* Daedalus killed his nephew and fled for his life and seeked refuge in Crete, working under the command of King Minos. He worked there for a while until a umm, accident involving the birds and the bees, occurred with the queen and a, ummm, bull. When the king found out he was enraged as you do when you find out your wife [REDACTED]. The king tasked Daedalus to make a prison to hold his new son. Daedalus being Daedalus decided "Hey I have a great idea. Lets make a Maze! But not just any maze, lets make it be alive! That's a great idea, nothing could possibly go wrong with this" So he made a living maze. Smort. Once he was finished making the maze, the king threw his wife's son the Minotaur, a monster half man half bull, Daedalus, and his son Icarus into the labyrinth. So that wasnt exactly what you would expect as "Employee of the Month" bonus. And this is where our story begins. See y'all next time.

And Remember, fear the dark. As it hunts you.

Back again! Lets start with the obvious. I missed Saturday. But! I have a good excuse. I was on a bus to The Dalles for a robotics competition. Eh? Eh? How was that for an excuse? And because that's still fresh on my mind I'm going to tell y'all about it.  Lets start with waking up. For most people waking up at 4 am would be a hard task. I made it easy by, you know, not going to sleep . Next is the bus drive. Some would argue that it's the funnest part of a field trip. Those people are right. Especially when you're with friends and have stuff to do. I'm not going to go into specific but let's just say I am an uno MASTER . Not to brag or anything of course... Then's the competition itself. You get to look at other robots and compare them to your own and make predictions about how it was going to play out. But as stressful as some moments are it's really fun in the end. We saw some bots that where beautiful in some different ways. Some of th

Not gonna lie I'm not sure what to talk about today. So I guess I might as well talk about the boring stuff. Well, boring for most. But not this boi. I'm talking about CODE. I just felt the massive wave of everyone exiting out of this page but whatever . To be fair, I haven;t done much of the code. I coded a little script so that we can move the character but that's about it really. I've mostly focused on building the game. Pickle has done most of the code. ... Wow. Saying that made me feel sad. To think he has done more code than I have. Oh well. I can't go into much detail on how it works 'cause I didn't build it but I'm going to try and explain how the Inventory system works Basically you have the open spaces in your inventory. As you pick up items they get sorted into a open space. If you already have an item in your inventory and you pick up another one it gets stacked onto the one already in it unless the item is non-stackable in which case it

I did a thing

To some peoples surprise, it is actually quite hard to build an entire maze in Unity. Every single wall has to be built by hand. I think in total its 500+ walls in the maze. Now, by anyone's standards that's quite a bit. Unless your rich or something I guess. But I'm proud of it. 30 minutes I spent trying to get to the end and hooooly cheese is it hard. You think paper maze's are hard? Try actually being inside one of them. Hard. Anyways, that's not what I'm here to talk about. The next step in this game is the stuff that will make this an actual game. I'm talking about npc's, quests, rewards, and obviously inventory. Pickle has already started work on the inventory and he's actually almost done. Not gonna tell y'all about it cause I don't know the specifics but he can tell you if he ever posts in this blog. I'm going to start work on different regions of the maze because our game plan requires that. Maybe work on the npc's itself
