The Clunk

Hello all!

I just wanted to update you guys on what we will be working on for the next couple of weeks.

First off I don't exactly want to work on what I've been working on lately. It starts to get a bit bland after a little while. Because of this I have started working on the cinematic camera mode again. However, I am approaching it differently this time. Instead of having a bunch of different cameras that will turn on and off when needed I will have one camera that I tell where to go. So, for example, if I am flying next to a wall the camera will attach to the wall and watch the player from there until A. they are out of sight or B. they are too far away. After that the script will calculate a new position to place the camera and so on and so forth.

After I get that done I will go back to the tutorial and fix that stuff up. I don't really like to do that type of stuff now though. I found out why this is and I will try to explain to the best of my ability.

Okay, imagine you are going to make a building all by yourself. You have the basic ideals of how to make a building down and everything so you just start building your building. You start adding the foundation and then the supports and the walls. As you build you find flaws in your building design though. You don't have time to fix these flaws so you just build around them, making an even clunkier building. This goes on for a while and you start finding flaws in even the places that you built around flaws with. Eventually you don't even want to work on this building anymore because it feels dangerous to even set foot inside of the building. The building just feels like a mess. You know have enough knowledge to make a building from the foundation up the correct way, yet you have to finish this building first before going on to the next building.

This is the stage that I'm at right now. I would like to write more about it but I need to get to bed.

Until next time
