We succeeded in producing a tech demo last time and making everything from scratch. This time we&#8217;re quite a bit more prepared. I wrote some tools and the base code is ready to go. I think we&#8217;ll actually finish a game this time around.<\/p>\n <p>On a side note, we learned a lot from the first time around. It goes as follows, A, get sleep. B, get sleep. C, get sleep. Oh, I almost forgot D. Don&#8217;t attempt to sustain energy on one meal a day and energy drinks. It just doesn&#8217;t work. The third day was horrible last time. I had large black bags under my eyes as I pushed forward to add mediocre sounds to our tech demo before uploading it.<\/p>\n <p>In the end though, everybody enjoyed it, even if we didn&#8217;t finish; cause it was intensely fun. This time though&#8230;it&#8217;s war! &#8230;and I&#8217;m proud to say, we&#8217;re in!<\/p>\n <p><strong>Language<\/strong>: Monkey (monkeycoder.co.nz)<br \/>\n <strong>Art Programs<\/strong>: Graphics Gale<\/p>\n <p><strong>My Team<\/strong><br \/>\n Nicholas Grant (Me) &#8211; Leader, Lead Programmer<br \/>\n Michael Grant &#8211; Lead Graphics, Story, Game Design, Music, and Sound<br \/>\n Eric Rodriguez &#8211; Programmer and Magical Math Person<br \/>\n Elena &#8211; Graphics, Story, Game Design, and Sound<\/p>","time":"April 16th, 2012 4:41 am","title":"Plunging in for the second time"}
