Matthew Napolillo | Week 6: Beta Blockers (Aren't Helping My Heart Rate)

Matthew Napolillo | Week 6: Beta Blockers (Aren't Helping My Heart Rate)

WEEKLY NARRATIVE

This week went well in some ways, and was a bit hectic in others. I had a bunch of interviews, but they didn't prevent me from getting a new design done by Wednesday. We had a design meeting on Wednesday night to discuss the new designs and which one we'd prioritize first, (as well as clarifying some more design things regarding nests). We decided on going forward with my design, and I created a finalized layout (seen below) in illustrator. On Friday we had the team meeting, where we itemized the things we needed to get done for the beta. I worked on some fixes to the layout of the Dash Tutorial in Unity, and built some transitional hallways to lead from the lobby to the other areas. I also modified the Lobby mesh to better accommodate the hallways.
