Q4, 2014

Hey guys!
Here we have our first complete week of Q4! Hooray! But let's not break out the champagne yet!
I want to talk about what's going on in my head.

Monday:
I'm excited! I have made several advances in The Cheese. I was so close to just starting over with a new game (and I did record the first episode of starting over). But then I took a break. I cleared my mind. I came back an was refreshed. I think we forget to do that. We get too close to the paint that we don't see the picture. It's good to rest your brain, just don't allow the weeds to grow.
Monday, I start up with design patterns. The design pattern I initially used, I'm sure is incorrect but it works so that's good for now. The reason I say I think it's incorrect is if I change the 'state' of the object, the pattern creates a new object to take it's place. I have been studying state patterns in my free time, but as of yet, I still have problems wrapping my head around them. I think it is a lot more difficult than it is.

Wednesday:
This last week, I also test drove http://gamedevprogress.blogspot.com Pedro Rocha, Pirizao's game: Sisters. It's crazy how much he gathered from my simple noobing about. I recommend you play indie alpha games and have others play yours and have the session recorded. It's been shown to be invaluable in several cases so far already. Wednesday will be my noob session. Game is interesting, check it out!

Friday:
I'm torn of Friday. I don't like the title of my series but I like my series. Who's that Sprite e mon? Yeah, it's kinda cute but it also infers that the audience should actually know who it is. That hasn't been the case. Maybe when I get better, I may reboot it but for now, Who's that Sprite e mon is out. I'll still do pixel art and sprite art but I'm going to change the name.

Else:
So I tried Blogger's mobile app and did all of the else section and saved it.... It didn't save.
Son of A B! Anyways, let's have fun and tell me what you think of this blog post as well as my videos for the week. # videos a week ain't easy with a full time job, a wife, and 3 kids but this is week 1 of Q4 in the books. 11 more to go! https://www.youtube.com/user/Hamenopi
