Charity Time

So I try and get into doing some kind of charity as often as possible. Some of you who know me may even remember last years Mustache Vs Cancer adventure:




And yes, as a matter of fact I do look that sexy all the time. It's quite a burden. However this year due to my wife's pleading, I will not be growing a stache for cancer research, but if you would like to please check it out here: http://www.mustachesvscancer.org/

So this time I found something a little more my style called Extra Life. You sign up to play video games for 24 hours straight and people donate money to you to do so. The money goes to children's hospitals (you can even choose one in your area).

So if you'd like to donate and support me please go to the site here: https://www.hospitalshelpingkids.org/ExtraLife

Further and Further

Happy to say I made some decent progress on the level today. A few hurdles were overcome and a few new ones popped up. So I'm just smoothing out what I can while I can. I got almost all of the second floor done today. I might change it around a bit to make it look a little better, but so far it's coming along nicely.

I should get a few screenshots tomorrow, and Saturday should see a fairly comprehensive "What I've got" video. For today though just one fairly random bit:



Just about 99% of everything I do starts out on paper at some point, so I thought it would be fun to put this up today instead of a shiny Unity screenshot. This was what I laid out this morning before I actually started moving more things around in Unity to help give myself a little bit more of a sense of space and direction. Worked well for the most part.

Another Quick Update

So not much got added to my level today as I was working in some other areas. One thing I did get done though was adding rain with a particle system. Not sure if I'll keep it in, but I like the way it looks/turned out.
