Station 9 Resources (With Pictures)

I've been busier than I expected to be with sorting things out for university (still really happy I'm going) for where I'm going to live and what money I'll have until then. Still though, I managed to create what is likely the least interesting aspect of Station 9 for a long while unless you're a sci-fi geek.

Basic Station Map (With Pictures)

Some actual progress despite the muggy heat having a huge hit on productivity. I have completed a very basic map of Station 9 giving a bit of information on the station and each of its levels. I gave plenty of thought to the amount of people that would be required to run such a large and versatile station.

Summer Project Finally Starting

My project for the summer holiday is to create a space station in a science fiction universe. The scale of the station is still yet to be decided. I will strive to update the blog at least once a week. While I do have a lot of free time I am only one person so completing this project will require dedication.

My current goal is to work towards a level design document. It is important that every stage of the project is done with making a game in mind. It will take time to plan everything right but once I have done it the payoff will be massive.

My First Post Into The Wild Unknown

Hello and welcome to my blog Sam Spain Makes Things. This is my new personal project blog for the summer holiday and university. My letter from The University of Hull and UCAS has arrived and I know for sure that I'm going to be doing Computer Science with Games Development (and a year industry placement). For now, at least, this blog won't have much to do about computer science or software engineering.

For the summer I am setting myself the task of a very ambitious project and I will be using this blog as a means to keep a weekly log about my progress. If you'd like to see any of my previous work you should check my college blog samspain.wordpress.com which really just existed for my tutors to mark my work. Some of the work I am really proud of though and I hope I achieve the same thing here.

More details of my project will come to light as I naturally expand upon the initial designs and ideas.

Thank you for checking in and I hope you enjoy looking at my future work.
