I just landed in SLC and I'm already working hard on my Ubisoft pitch with the rest of my team. In fact, I have a meeting with them in a few hours to go over the final adjustments of the 3 minute demo will be shown alongside the pitch. The majority of the environment should be built by now as Jason K did a version of it over the course of this week. The two final things that need to come together between tonight and tomorrow is populating the level with the flora and fauna of the jungle that Isaac created and then placing the tutorial triggers within Unity for our audience to grasp the progression of our game.
Back in SLC, Back to Work
Holidays are Over! Relax Time
Finally! All of the presents are bought, 2013 is here, the apocalypse didn't happen yet, and I'm hanging out on the couch playing some Portal 2 - not a bad way to relax for the next few days before heading back to SLC. I'm truly relaxing too! I've taken the next couple of days off to hang with friends and family before I return to working on my Ubisoft project. Not too much to update on that either. We may have a few bugs where the main character ends up flying in the air when they walk backwards but I'm confident we can tune our demo and finish our level design before I give the pitch to the panel on January 7th (so soon!).
In the meantime, I'm going to chillax with some GladOS potatoes and a side of Wheatley.

Vacation? Nope. Ubisoft Game Lab Begins!

It's winter break and you'd think I'd be kicking back, drinking out juice out of exotic fruits in the harsh cold of Boston but NO! Instead I am working on a prototype for the Ubisoft Game Lab competition that the EAE program was invited to participate in. My team is one of four competing to represent the UofU in the final competition at Ubisoft Montreal. There are about 17 other schools also entering into the competition but we are the only participant from the United States! What is my team's idea you ask? Read on to find out!

What A Week

Whew, this week has certainly been a rough one with all of the extra activities going on in the EAE program. I got to say, there was one day this week where I was a little nervous about my current game project tentatively named, Impulse.
