Finished up that LDD from yesterday. Feeling wiped and really looking forward to an early night. Journalling is going well- I've hit a whole two days in a row! Very impressive commitment.

Had the "bright" idea to try to post here daily about things I get done during the day. Something like a journal? Hopefully it'll help me track progress, since I tend to be very achievement-motivated.

Today, I wrote a test! I also did some diagram work for an LDD.

Remember kids:
- Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials
- You (probably) don't need Jira
- Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date
- Don't put up with stuff; speak up
- If someone can't speak up, speak up for them
- Stay a little silly but take no shit

So... Hades II... That ending, huh?

Don't get me wrong, the game is really well-made! The ending just REALLY left a sour taste in my mouth. It almost feels rushed, even though there was no time pressure involved. I hope the epilogue changes my mind, but...

I'm a student in this program. Really excellent quality of teaching with a ton of highly applicable classes and activities and an emphasis on industry readiness. The semester-ly Design Week is also a fantastic way to gain experience and build portfolio pieces.

This is my new favourite game of all time and nothing even comes close. Truly the best experience I've ever had with a game and more than I could have ever asked for.

A screenshot showing the "game completion" screen for Hollow Knight: Silksong, with a completion percentage of 100% and a time of 59h 05m 08s. On the left side is the "Completion" achievement, awarded for beating the game with 100% game completion.

When I first ran into someone I knew while they were in combat, it felt so cool to jump in and help them out. Absolutely impeccable work from TC.
