Thread: Easter plans?

I don't do much for the holiday myself but I can appreciate what holidays do for families, ones that get along anyways lol

If you are celebrating, what will you be doing this Sunday? Anything special?

I just have dinner with my immediate family. We usually spend a bit talking after then have desert and that is it.

I'm going to be doing more coursework for my Degree

I will go for breakfest, at my grandparents house together with my parents on Sunday and Monday. We always do that during Easter.
I have pent-up also a lot of work of my degree course, which is very unsettling to me. So no work out for now i guess.

It is good to have an additional day off in order to be able to catch up.

Business informatics.
In case you care.

I'm doing a Bachelor's of Arts Honors in Computer Games Modelling and Animation
My two final assignments are Gamedev (working with a team of 4 artists and 8 programmers over 3 months to make a small game to be shown off at an expo) and my dissertation which is on the future of facial motion capture.

I'm hoping to start off as a junior animator somewhere after graduation. Though I do enjoy animation and want to take it further, my dream is to move into the design department and one day get creative control over a large project in whatever form that may take.

It's called Infernal Sin, a slashnshoot kinda game which is inspired by games like nier/dark souls/dmc.

This will come off as boasty but our art team (of which I am part) is doing a real nice job with it. Unfortunately a lot of the coders (not all) have slacked for 12 weeks so the gameplay never came together (basically still has dudes just t-posing and following player around not doing much while I have folders of animations ready for the enemies). There goes my first class honors ;-;


Here is the poster for our game we had to slap together in a day.
The background (red and green) will be cut out cus it's gonna be a 2 meter tall board cutout at the expo of just the little diorama in the middle. Unfortunately I sent off a version with errors first and then sent a fixed version after with no response from my lecturer so I'm worried come expo that we might have a board with some stuff wrong on it.


After we finish our dissertations this week, we are gonna crunch 9am-1am every day til the expo to try and get it sorted.
We got a couple new team members recently (2 of the 8 programmers) who have been putting in work and one of our missing team members might return soon, so fingers crossed we can get it done.
Wish us luck.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT ARE YOU MAKING A DOOM STYLE FPS!?!?! OH MAN THAT IS SO GONNA BE...

*rereads post*

Oh, my bad. Still, that is looking really cool. Love the axe that he's wielding! I wish you fellas the best of luck on that and I'll look into playing it should you release it.

Anywho, as far as easter goes, I'm just going to a buffet with the family. Maybe not the most exciting way to spend it but hey, it's with my family and the place has all you can eat prime rib. Sounds like a good time for me.

I would love to make an fps as a project one day, maybe after graduation, but right now gotta focus on that degree.
(Kinda wish maybe we had gone for an fps, that would have been easier and other groups are doing hacknslash games too so ours no longer stands out besides the art quality, mostly thanks to our environment artist).
As for playing it, I can't garuntee it'll play any good, but it'll sure look pretty!

Ended up having a quiet dinner with some family and some pie. I woke up early so I have been tired all day but I keep having to get things done so can't nap. I also was considering sleeping in tomorrow but I forgot I have to finish the yard work. lol
