[Binary] Picking up where I left off. #60DaysOfdev


So tonight I began tinkering on a personal project of mine that I've not touched in a while. The basic premise is a 4X game similar to Masters of Orion 2. But designed with mobile in mind, and pulling in some modern design elements, especially around monetization. I started it a while ago and was helped a lot by my girlfriend Stephanie.



I picked this project back up for my new initiative, 60 days of dev. Where for the next 60 days(59 left) I will attempt to work about 1 hour every day on my game project to see how much progress i can make, and blogging and tweeting(@Nan0tubes) my progress to the world.

The project itself has some good beginnings, I have a fair amount of the game design fleshed out, and by that I mean written down. I setup a project in bitbucket, and had tickets setup for small tasks. I will be starting trying to get a couple of those tasks done, then break down the next steps into bite sized tasks as well.





I'm building the game in unity, which I do not have a lot of experience in, but some. The latest versions are actually pretty good. So there is already quite a bit of progress


So Above, while hard to see, I have a stub of a menu, as well as some Galaxy generation. Included with that if i recall is homeworld selection. I now need to modify the star systems of those homeworlds to have a good quality planet for civilizations to rise on.

[Bows] Breaking past 500!

Since I started shooting somewhat regularly and participating in Archery Tournaments, I have been working towards the goal of shooting 500/600 indoors. In Jan/Feb 2017, I saw a large downturn in my scores, right as I was approaching 500, with scores in the 490's I thought that it would come quickly, but alas just missing it started to become a definition of my archery Career. This 2017-2018 indoor season started off with Promise, where I shot a 499 fairly early in the season and saw several high 400 and 490 scores. But then a strange thing happened, My scores dropped, and dropped hard. I had gotten so much better over last year, yet still, My scores seems to stagnate and become much worse, dropping into the low 400's. Even shooting a mid 300 score on a 3 spot target just a couple weeks ago. That low score made me realize something though, I had been focusing way to much on the scores I was shooting. I wasn't focusing on the process that got me those scores, I'd make...

[Bows] Double Double, Sunburn Trouble.

Image
This past weekend,  Stephanie  and I took part in  The Archers of Caledon  outdoor tournament. We did a double 720 Saturday and a double 720 sunday. A double double 720! (Canadians will get it!) It was very intense, the most arrows I've shot in a weekend so far, but thanks to our hard work and training over the last couple months, it went well, and I stayed strong and completed it. My scores are not where I'd like them to be, but thats ok. Performance I shot an average ~400 for each flight, and I'm proud of it, even if it's not where I want to be with my shooting. My focus for the weekend was really trusting my form, and committing mentally to the shots. I was getting good feeling shots, and thats really what I want to be getting out of my archery right now. From my last meeting with my coach, He suggested its time to start getting mental feedback on shots as well as the physical feedback. Paying attention to the mental state I have throughout the...

[Bows] Out from the sun, into the rain and hail

Image
On Sunday  Stephanie  and I drove up to Peterborough, Ontario to take part in an Archery Tournament well half of one anyway. We were joined by our Archery Friend Danny Kim, who made the ~2h drive a pleasant adventure. The day itself was a mixture of warm and bright sunny periods, and dark clouds, leading up to some post lunch rain. We only got to shoot the first of the two 720's planned, the second was cancelled due to some lightning, heavy rain and even hail at one point. Later in the day we would get some ice cream, so all in all a good day. My plan for the tournament was to really focus and push myself on the mental game. My goal was to keep a positive, confident, and focused mental state throughout my perfomance.  My first 6 ends were excellent, and my scorecard reflected that. The later 6 ends didn't live up two the first, as some suboptimal thought patterns snuck in, and while I managed to quench them with positive self talk, rebuilding my focus and confide...
