Game Pre-Production [month 18]

This month was all about preparing the paperwork and making all the lists for our game. After a lengthy take off, we finally got separated into our final groups and decided upon two games: Adrift, or Fender Bender. Without going too much into what makes them both up, let's just say that Fender Bender won the game idea pitch. Here's a little bit about our game. Note: as this is a group project, this work is the property of our entire group and not just myself.

The feel of the game is supposed to be Twisted Metal meets Mario Kart, fun yet challenging. I ended up with a great team of coders and other artists, hopefully we'll make a great game .. though it shouldn't be too hard with a game concept as simple as driving and shooting. :)

Public Speaking [month 18]

I felt this class was one of the most useless classes I've taken here at Full Sail, though the practice of pitching our game as a group was a really good thing. I hope eventually Full Sail will remove other non-essential classes to make room for classes we actually need, but that's all I really have to say about our Public Speaking class this month. I'm glad it's over and I can focus on important things again.
