Music 30/30 – Day 17
Something more than straight practice today, I started in on another piece. I’m going for a bit more of a varied melody this time around, and I’m afraid I haven’t had a chance to nearly complete it, hopefully more work on it tomorrow, but it’s study none the less.

In other news, I made another step forward on getting a playable version of Runic Alchemy ready today, with the purchase of someone else’s assets. I know, I know, and to be honest I’m trying to do the majority of the game with nothing but my own self made code and art assets, but in this case I needed something rather complex, and it turned out that someone else already had exactly what I needed ready to go. It’s a part of the Unity culture to share and reuse work in this manner, and in this case it would have been silly to dump weeks worth of effort into recreating something on my own when it’s already done, so pop, into my project it goes, for a nominal fee.
Of course the downside to purchasing an asset as opposed to writing it yourself is that you still need to figure out how to use the silly thing, and I’ve only just started with that, but I think I’m getting the hang of it. With any luck my next coding session could see me turn it into a viable way to study the runes in the game to unlock power ups.
