End Of Hiatus Celebration!

It's June now and the last time I've made a post was in April. There are a few reasons why I've been away and they all pretty much point to university and honestly not much going on in the past few months worth mentioning. This blog marks an important time though, I am finished with my first year of university and I'm set for either a 2:1 or First grade for my first year, not too bad.

Haven't updated this for a while now but there is a good reason! I've been setting myself a lot of time to enjoy the sun and read something I was handed during my applicant day to The University of Hull. It's a book about C# programming and as the time goes by (just over a month and a half until uni!) I feel like I really should read this. While I'm not new to programming as I started with C++ a few years ago there a lot of differences I need to learn about. This has a higher priority than my summer project but I will still be trying to get some of my project work finished. I will definitely completely my first bird's eye map of the top level before the end of the week.

At least I do not feel like I have too much time and not enough to do which was the worst thing about my last summer. I'm disappointed with how little I have done though. Time is just flying by which is a good thing I guess.

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.
