My Little Astronaut

After too long a wait, I have finally added the astronaut girl to the game.  I am happy that it is in, but very disappointed at the time it took me to model, rig it and animate it.  To be able to make 3D games by myself, I need to seriously beef up my 3D art skills.  I really hope I meet the right people to collaborate with at some point.  Anyway, here she is:

At this point, I am thinking hard at what I want to achieve with the rest of my summer.  Finishing the game to a level of polish acceptable for the Apple App Store seems like a very distant possibility.  I can try to finish one very polished level, or lay the groundwork for all the levels I had planned with the hopes of finishing them later.  Another thing I am considering is to instead spend the time helping out another Indie game developer in the area with their game.  I will have to sleep on that for a few days.
