Our first day of the Game Jam started at 9:30 AM, so, naturally, I woke up at 6 AM. After a tired awakening, I showered, got breakfast, and hopped on the bus towards KCG. As soon as we got there, we meet with our groups. My group, Group 5, had some decisions to make concerning … Continue reading “Unreal Engine – 1, Vincent Le – 0”

On Friday, we had a free day until 4 PM, as that’s when we would have our first introduction to the KCG students. Brody, Esther, Maddy, and I wanted to go to the Toei Studio Park, where there was a big Evangelion attraction. We asked others if they wanted to come, and Sten ended up … Continue reading “Unreal Engine – 1, Vincent Le – 0”

The day started bright and early as we rode the bullet train to Hiroshima. A trip that would be 5 hours by car is cut right through by an hour and a half on the train! I certainly appreciated the extra Z’s that I caught on that thing. This whole week has just been so … Continue reading “Unreal Engine – 1, Vincent Le – 0”

Our team had somewhat communicated before meeting, and we had decided on a concept to expand & build upon today, which I was grateful for. While we didn’t … Continue reading “Unreal Engine – 1, Vincent Le – 0”

05/26/2023 (Friday) Since I slightly passed away from our tiring journey yesterday, I slept in today while my roomie Megan and a few others went out for an early morning kimono dress-up session. I went to breakfast at around 8am and came back and napped until around 1pm. I headed out with Jess to Kyoto … Continue reading “Unreal Engine – 1, Vincent Le – 0”

We have a long day ahead of us today, as we are visiting Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park as well as the museum. The shinkansen ride was … Continue reading “Unreal Engine – 1, Vincent Le – 0”

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 … Continue reading “Unreal Engine – 1, Vincent Le – 0”
