- Created an outline of my monthly goals
- Set up weekly meetings with my friend and former producer Joni Johnston
- Began exploring the art direction for my game with sketches and tentative level layouts
- Created a week to week outline for what I need to get done (Organization! Hurrah!)
- Blocked in the level layout in Maya
- Created a new Unity project with a working dummy character and imported the level
- Character can move and is stopped by colliding with walls (hooray!)
- Began contacting people to playtest my game
Now that the bullet points are over with, what exactly have I been working on? It should be no surprise to anyone that knows me that I have once again began working on my love letter to the Zelda franchise. I love Zelda games. I love everything about the history and aesthetic of the worlds that Nintendo has constructed for Zelda over the past 25 years, and it has always been one of my goals to create my own version of one of those games. This month is all about laying down the foundations for a bigger project. This month is ambitious, but it is actually just the first baby steps into what I hope will be a much bigger project over time. I will go more in depth with that sometime in the future, but for now let me leave you with some sketching I did yesterday:
I promise to post more soon.

I'm loving that curled up animal like thing in the center design of that top room.
Good luck on your NaNo project! I'll definitely be following along.
