It’s all gone a bit ‘Pete Tong’

… which is cockney rhyming slang for ‘wrong’.

10 hours after the theme announced and I’m on a train, trying to think up ideas. The theme ‘Beneath The Surface’ is nice, and got me thinking about water surface and if there was something I could do with that. 20,000 Leagues being one of my favourite books, I wanted to do something where, like Captain Nemo, you ram ships but are vulnerable when you come to the surface.

However, 6 hours later and all I’ve got in Unity is a quick Blender mock-up which moves around the surface of  a plane. No baddies, no AI, no real ‘game’ code at all. :(

To make it worse, I don’t have my Unity Pro licence on this laptop… and can’t access my other machines to get it. The Macbook keyboard makes Blender a nightmare to navigate in. The mouse also doesn’t have middle or right button. I feel like I’m working at about 5% efficiency at the moment.

Might have to conceded defeat on this one.
