I have a problem. Our game is not shaping up…well that’s not true. Everything is shaping up except collisions, which is our entire game considering it’s a platformer. Normally this wouldn’t be much of a problem, however, we’ve already been warned that if we don’t get this done we’ll probably get fired as a team. Regardless of the fact that we got complimented on rendering (for the record I did all the rendering and effects systems, and the core application components) but because we can’t have gameplay without collisions we are endangered of failing pretty soon – the same reason we got a failing grade for our Proof of Concept build…
I would be ok with our team getting fired if I could switch teams…the reason being is that I have no money left to continue living in Florida for another five months, and because of that if I failed and had to start over I could not finish school. This leads to another problem…my school loans that exceed $100,000. If I could graduate and get a job, this wouldn’t be much of a problem. I’m pretty confident that I could find a job somewhere with my degree and proficiency in game-specific coding. However, it would be pretty tough to get a job without that degree…at least one that could handle my loans.
Anywho…I’m just a little afraid. Maybe I could find a company somewhere that’s interested in what I already know and how much I would like to learn. I’ve been looking at game development schools since the 7th grade…this is what I want to do! I just wish situations like this didn’t keep popping up. Financial stress, like the fact that I have no money for food for another two weeks, is not really helping the fact that I’m in danger of failing Final Project with something that’s out of my control.
Sorry about “teh emo” just needed to get stuffs out.
