Work Experience Journal
Summary
This is a summary of what I will be doing while i'm working for Mesonoxian Games:
Unique physics object (blueprint)
Animation blueprint for an enemy character
Simple mechanics for an enemy character (Blueprint)
Simple AI for an enemy character (Blueprint)
Why Mesonoxian Games?
I would like to work with you to expand my knowledge of programs used to create game and to learn more about what it takes to launch a game of Steam and other platforms. I'm also a bit shy when it comes to work experience as I have never done any work experience for anybody else except for family members. I'm impressed by you vast knowledge of blueprints and i'm sure that I will learn a lot from you.
I would like to work with blueprints. While I'll have a lot of experience with Photoshop, I'm not confident in my drawing skills so I mostly do drawing in pixel art. The downsides is that my drawing lack a lot of detail to them but the upside of this is that I can animate my concept art a lot easier.
I would consider Maya to be my weak point. I haven't used it in a long time. While I can still perform the basics, most of the advanced stuff I was taught in college I have completed forgot.
Thoughts
In my opinion I expect that coding a game is the hardest part of creating a game and if I manage to code a game then surely I can pick up the rest. The lead developed considers that "coding a game isn't the hardest. If anything, it's the easiest. It just requires a different set of skills/mindset than any other area"
I disagree as 3D models can simply be brought from a multitude of websites and concepts can easily be sketched and brainstormed up. Whereas, most of using visual scripting in Unreal requires a lot of understanding and problem solving.
