Some days I really feel like I’m making some actual progress. Today is one of those days.
On the art front, I started my newly purchased course on 2d art asset creation in photoshop. And sure, I’m just following along with the instructor, aping what he’s throwing out, but I think it came out pretty well.
The next lesson is a better wood texture for the crate, but I think that all in all even the simple one didn’t go too poorly. I’m not going to be selling any assets any time soon, but I think the basic ideas are clicking in, and that means that at least some of the last twenty-one days of practice is actually paying off.
On the game-dev side, I also managed to get a couple of what I’m going to consider big wins. I added an audio manager to the game, so now there are actual sounds for the button clicks and one of the game elements. And I learned how to implement a singleton pattern for objects in the game, which is going to help me clean up the rest of the code immensely. Now if I can just get my display and upgrade code sorted properly I’ll really be cooking with gas.
