#break update

So once I hit chapter 15 I plan to step back for about a week and take a break. I'm hoping to break by the end of this week but I want to pace myself and not rush things.

So what's going to happen during my break?

*I plan to update a story on my side blog @dashofmonsters called Dreamers & Delusions.

*Read a friend's story that I've been itching to read but I've been so caught up with my own project.

*Read some of a book my husband's uncle wrote

*Editing plans for current stories that I plan to format for ebook downloads

*Cover art commissions for current stories for ebooks

Sorry it took me so long to actually tell you how long my break will last....ever since I started the break I had no time to actually make the rest of the confessions in the inbox.

Now that they are all made I can tell you that the inbox will re-open on Saturday February 4th, 2017.

The queue will still only post one a day till February 11th and depending on how many I get that week will decided how many a day you get.

- did some instacarts

- did a bit of christmas shopping with the money earned from said instacarts

- redid my leopard gecko’s tank

decided to treat my car to a car wash since she was absolutely filthy, and got my antenna fin ripped off instead! i went back to the car wash as soon as i noticed it and thankfully got my fin back, but i’m not quite sure how to reattach it. my poor car looks so naked with out it :(

other than that today was mostly uneventful. i made some absolutely delicious avocado pasta for dinner, and it reminded me of just how grateful i am to be back home and have access to a real kitchen! those dorm ‘kitchens’ are just disgraceful

Happy New Year!!

I’m testing a workflow for pickup items and collectibles using an inventory blueprint class (pictured, implemented in the character BP). This makes interaction with all of the items in the world (notes, inventory items, interactive objects in the world) much more efficient!

I’m now compiling all of my test files into one project, so that I can make my ‘final draft’ of user interactivity functions. This will be the skeleton of what’s going into the final game.

TECHNICAL GOALS

- Region specific distortion with visual effects or post processing (TD) - Time distortion speeding up or slowing down (TD) (audio/PP effects/character motion) - Optimization techniques - Weather systems *TD = test document
