Unit 9: Adaptation - Time Management (Part 3)

Hello Everyone,

3 for 3 so here we go. Time management Part 3 can't believe I'm here already seems not long ago I was posting 2 but I was only 5 weeks ago. Deja Vu or what? Well I won't lie things began really slow at the start of this brief especially when considering my own disinterest in cars. Still I wanted a challenge and I defiantly got it I just have to keep pushing forward and I will crack as many bones as needed to reach my goal at the end of these next 4 weeks. Now I know it says 11 - 15 but I was away for that week helping my mum with the house and other bits and pieces... so my bad.

Still it's not that I was doing nothing that week I was just doing less then I otherwise would have. You would not believe the amount of sanding and wallpaper stripping I have done urgh. If my dad could see me now he wouldn't believe it. Anyway onto project talk, things are coming along with the Driver who I'm hoping to have done in the next couple of days then I can focus on getting the cars finalised. I don't envision that taking too long. The cars are much more blocky then him meaning I should be able to take advantage and get ahead of the curve enough time to start putting other bits together that have been swept to the side (Concept Art for example).


I have managed to be much more strategic with my post it notes this time I just have to keep the snowballing effect from hitting me and causing a delay in work. At the moment as long as I achieve one a day I am still holding the ball. The real thing which is suffering at the moment are my Maya exercises so I am going to have to screech things to a halt just to step back and knock a few more of those out. I have included them on the board but they are a nicety I will not prioritise them over the project being completed. But I will do my best to get as many as humanly possible.


That's another 5 weeks that I am holding in my hand just in case anyone was curious. I am kind of wishing summer here because it is freezing out there. My room can catch a draft too so Imp usually freezing while working. Anyway the project is coming along and if I have to I will miss a bit of sleep so I can make sure everything is squared away. Today was a little bit of a detour as I have this tendency to go beyond the brief especially if something doesn't look right to me. Its a total curse and I hate it but I guess I do it that way for some reason - maybe because I'm an idiot lol.

After this brief we have 1 year left and its game over I have to be out there looking for my place in a saturated market of games enthusiasts. Still at least I have a few scars to show any curious employers. I will be seeing the majority of you people about no doubt and if any of you have any influence to games developers put my name out to them I will love you forever. The next thing on the docket after this brief is our year long project with Sammy and Chrissie, looking forward to it will certainly be nice working in a team again... I kind of miss Anita and Lydia and good ol Smoke Stack ha-ha.

Anyway wish me luck!!

  3. You need to invest in some sort of Advent Calender to count down the days to graduation Stitch. May be a one with chocolates to ease the nerves?

  4. I went away for Easter and when I got back there had been a flurry of posts. Glad your work is progressing and you've finally made it in to 3D (successfully too).
