This year is going to be weird, obviously. I was looking forward to GAD for some time, and was excited with the idea of making small games with a number of friends. Sadly, things have changed since then, and I'm not 100% sure how class will operate this year. The most glaring challenge for this year seems to be with game engines, which require certain hardware in order to run. I do look forward to using the Unity engine, which has been a topic of discussion for some time. While I don't have any worries about running it, I do worry about if everyone else can do the same, since some people don't have easy access to technology. And then there is the problem of doing it all at home, which can be quite isolating compared to the warm atmosphere of the classroom (both literally and figuratively due to the broken ac). I'm going to miss having to do this all in the classroom, and having to manage all of this at home will be a challenge. My bad habit of being a procrastinator will probably be my downfall if I keep it up. Regardless, I'm happy to begin learning about Unity and it's many features, and I hope to use it even further outside of class. I'm still gonna miss everyone though.
