We've finally come back to our year-long project to make a game as a team, and honestly I can't wait to get started working on our game. So far I haven't been able to do much 3D modeling for our game, and I'm not sure how much I'll really be doing in terms of 3D modeling for our game because we plan for it to have 2D sprites with some 3D objects. I know I haven't been the greatest team member either, as I'm already a reserved person and on top of that I'm having trouble finding where I can be useful, but I hope as our plan finalizes I can really get to work on 3D models and backgrounds. Aside from my momentary lull in work, I'm sure making this game will be a fun experience that I'm looking forward to, but even so I hope our work will be equally distributed. Seeing as all of our characters are 2D a lot of work falls on our 2D artist, and we can't really do much to help or the artstyle between characters would be vastly different and ruin the continuity of the game. I feel like the amount of work we've set out to do is possible within the year, but I know it will require lots of work outside of class from all of us. Personally I wouldn't attempt making a game with lots of dialogue for my first official team game, but I'll still be willing to help seeing as this is quite an ambitious goal. Overall though we've got a pretty solid concept of a game, which will help tremendously knowing exactly what we want to do at the start, rather than trying to make a game with no guidance and conflict of ideas.

With Covid cases booming currently (10,000+ per day here) I doubt we'll ever return to school this year, meaning my whole senior year will be entirely virtual. For a lot of students this may come as a disappointment, especially seniors, however aside from the deaths caused by Covid, I could not be more grateful for this year. Online school may be different and problematic, however it has also been a huge mental relief. Over the past few years the daily process of work and a commute to school that requires a consistent sleep schedule has been bogging me down, whether or not I'd like to admit it. However, now that school is entirely online I've been given the opportunity to work whenever I want, meaning my sleep schedule can be whatever it needs to be, and while Wellness Wednesdays are a nice break, they are often the day most responsible for breaking my sleep schedule if any. Aside from Wednesdays though, being able to work whenever I want has helped to reduce the stress of due dates and assignments that can only be worked on in class, as many assignments can be done outside of class nowadays. It would be ignorant to only consider myself though, I'm sure many seniors or really students in general are disappointed that they won't be able to see their friends at school all year long. Though I'm equally sure they all understand how important it is that we stay home if we want to mitigate the damage from this pandemic. Either way I know this is a historic few years for the education industry and really the world as a whole, I'm not really concerned about what we've already lost in terms of school and socialization, but rather I worry about what we will lose in the future. How long exactly will school be online for? At some point my sleep schedule is going to hit me back for all of my all-nighters and wacky reversals of what time I go to bed. While I may be enjoying school right now I worry about the future of all of our education.
