Back to School (Spring 2014)
Here we go. I'm ready for school. Game plan: finish DragCore, talk with the deans, finish this semester, complete summer school, skip fall semester, complete my next game, start making my platformer by fall, go back to school spring 2015.
I'm kind of dreading my meeting with the dean now that the Alumni talked me out of it. It basically comes down to me having a strong passion and work ethic that other students don't have. No amount of curriculum changes will fix that, but I can at least try to talk my school into replacing some classes with open electives and marketing courses.
I also have to consider starting a game development club when I return from my hiatus next spring. That's the best way I can see helping students get motivated to do portfolio work and help each other make games to get hands on experience. It's going to be a very busy year, so it's a good thing I'm ready for it.
Take a look at my class schedule if you're curious after the break.

Dragon Ball Z Brawl
This passion project came from my desire to make a fan RPG after being inspired by the Mane6 development team. It would have been a pony themed RPG but I didn't want to overload myself with just one fandom and get sick of it. So I thought of another thing I'm a fan of. I loved legacy of Goku which inspired my action RPG, but how about making a turn-based Dragon Ball Z game? I got started with this and had a blast.

Status Report #20
It's big number 20! I've been at this for 20 weeks now. The past always seems short in hindsight I suppose. This week has been crazy busy as I'm wrapping up DragCore, getting way too excited about the project I'm doing next, and getting ready for school on Monday.

Dragcore's Prototype
I've been putting this off for a while now, but here is the video of gameplay from the original prototype of DragCore that I made in high school. It's amazing how different it is from the version I'm making now. Today I finished copying a bunch of the code and now I'm making things nicer for myself behind the scenes to help finish development.
