Today was the big day, the game jam! For me it started off pretty rough, I woke up a bit late and had to rush downstairs. I also found out my laptop decided not to download the engine I needed because my graphics drivers weren’t good! It was so so so fun to uninstall and reinstall all my graphics drivers and unreal itself for a couple hours ( this is sarcasm). Once I got past the pain that I downloading, I got to work. I was put on UI art which isn’t my thing but I tried my best anyway. I like design for UI but more on the technical side.

We spent the day snacking, sitting, coding, and helping each other. The LCG students were familiar with Unreal when a lot of RIT students were not. At RIT we typically use Unity which is entirely different. The day was pretty quiet overall with just a lot of head down let’s get this done energy.

we got some rice balls (onigiri) for lunch and a really nice bento box for dinner ( I forgot to take a photo). The bento box had some white rice, bamboo shoots, a meatball steak, tempura, some fried chicken, a lot of greens, and a sweet waffle for dessert. It was quite yummy. Our jamming lasted from 9:30am to 8pm so basically all day. The Japanese students on my team were very quiet other than when they needed something done or had updates for us so it was pretty quiet. I enjoyed just sitting and listening to music for a day since we have walked like 15 to 18 thousand steps everyday. Literally it’s crazy here’s a screenshot of my steps. The most being from kimono day surprisingly.

That’s a lot of steps. That’s basically it for the day. I took a nice shower and played this game I downloaded called Colorful stage ( it’s a rhythm game). Tomorrow we have to get up at around the same time (7am) and have 3 hours to finish up our games. Well then, see ya later blog!!
