First-person Camera Setup and Testing

And on the first day, Steve created heavens and the earth.

Okay, maybe its just a skybox and a simple plane, but still pretty impressive, no?  Thats actually pretty far for my first day of designing and implementation.  I started working on a projectile system, to test out spells and ranged weapons, but I completely ran out of time.  Well tomorrow I have no plans and I think I might make a build for public use.  Then everyone can see how the game is coming along, just by playing it.

I have been trying to recruit people online and some of my friends but everyone is either too lazy or a terrible speller.  I hope I can at least share this project with someone along the way.

Momentum is VITAL

 I am finding Unity to be very challenging to use, AND, I lost my Hero Engine account!

So yeah, they switched to $99 a year, which is cheap, but I just have an issue with buying things online haha.  Anyways, Unity3D, as I said before, is proving to be very challenging.  Not as bad as starting from scratch but there is a lot more programming involved.

All the stress this past week have been purely from reading.  Its like brain exercise 8 hours a day.  I was trying to learn Unity, Blender, Maya, C#, and the concepts of an MMO all at once.  Not a good idea!  I have started my own "time management" paper thing.  Basically, I write down all my major concept ideas and things I need to learn.  Then I break apart each section into smaller tasks.  Then I try to complete one at a time.  So far its going pretty good and can actually feel the momentum coming back.  One thing I refuse to lose is my momentum.  Momentum is VITAL to any indie game developer.

Switching to the Unity3D engine

I am finally back on track putting all my focus into the Eternal Light project.  When I went back to HE to log in, I was confronted with a "You must pay $100 to login!"  So, yeah I got out of there pretty fast.  One of my main goals for this game is completing the project without spending a penny.  Gotta stick to my goals!

Any way, there is a loud ass lawn mower coming my way and I gotta pick up some friends.  I will post more this evening.
