5:01am - Well I finally made my way down to the McDonalds again to work on my projects. As I said last time, I've had platformers on the mind lately and I want to see what I can do in that area. But, I also have too many projects going on at once, so I'm conflicted.
I want to have fun while I work so I'm going to work on what I feel like when I feel like working on something, and that means today I'll be working on platforming.
5:13am - So, what am I actually going to do? I was thinking of messing around with more physics based platforming in Unity, but I've had a lot of bad results with the game feel of that. As it happens, there's a Live Training from a couple years ago on making a 2D platformer in Unity with custom physics that I've never followed before, so I think I'm going to try that and see what I can come up with.
7:26am - Well, around two hours later, I've got a basic character controller that works okay. It's got some bugs. I might try to fix it, I'm not sure.
For now I'm going to look at some more of the 2D live trainings.
7:40am - Alright I looked at the other live trainings but they were ones I'd looked at before and I don't think there's anything new for me to learn from them.
I poked around in the character controller to see if I could fix some of the bugs but I'm too tired; it's hard to keep my eyes open. Maybe I'll work on it more tomorrow. For now I'm going home.
