UDK Third Person Action Game Update and Preparing for Winter Break

And once again I realize how horrible I am at keeping a blog up to date.  Hopefully I'll get better with time.

So this is relatively old news... but I've gotten UDK to draw that sword.  I owe a big thank you to Iovindadonks on the Epic Games Community forum for helping me solve that problem.

Now I just have to figure out how to make the thing swing.  That might take a few weeks.  I'll keep you guys updated.

Meanwhile... My semester at TJC is almost over.  I have one full week before finals and after that I'll have till January to catch my breath.  I've decided to challenge myself to see how fast I can develop a Gauntlet clone in Game Maker Studio.  Way back in middle school I played around in Game Maker before the company was bought by YoYo games.  I ended up making two crappy vertical shmups.  To compensate for the relatively simple play mechanics of Gauntlet, I'm going to make an effort to spice it up with some mechanics of my own.  You can read the idea document here: My Gauntlet Clone Idea Document .  I've made sure to enable comments so feel free to fire away.  I'll be making sure to update on my progress regularly.

In the meantime, I've got schoolwork to turn in and finals to study for so I'll see you guys later.
