In an attempt to catch up….

Here’s some stuff that’s happened since I disappeared off of the face of the earth for a while—

  • Attended a texturing masterclass that taught me a ton about modeling.
  • Went to a workshop on Corona SDK, which was really cool.
  • Went to Geekend.
  • Got to ride in an En-v concept car!
  • Decided I really, truly am going to make a mobile game. Before Christmas.
  • Finals happened. 
  • I went home. 

So, basically I’ve been pretty busy in the past couple of weeks. I’m grateful that I finally have some downtime to update my blog, haha.

Pretty good day?

I think so!

First of all, Portal 2 (which really was technically this morning). It’s amazing. Enough said.

Second: Minecraft 1.5 update came out today as well! This one was cool because they added the Achievements/Statistics, the weather, booster rails (for minecarts), and performance fixes. 

Since I haven’t played in a while, I sat down on single-player (my multiplayer buddy was busy) and did the achievements, messed around in a world, went fishing for the first time, and tamed a wolf. It was fun! Then it got better when my friend came online for a bit, and we saw it rain for the first time.

As of now, rain falls straight through glass. But I think that’s awesome, and I kind of hope Notch doesn’t fix that…it makes for a neat way to do greenhouses, and standing in a sky-box made entirely of glass is pretty sweet in a storm.
