Scoping? What scoping?

Ok this was bound to happen, & I'm glad I hit it early so I learn for the future.

I was a little worried when I first started this one, to be honest. Turns out I was correct. I bit off a little bit more than I could chew in a single weekend, it seems. I could probably power through & get something workable by tomorrow evening, but I've got deeply lost in the sauce of lighting systems, & I do quite want to figure it out properly.

I've also managed to give myself QUITE the headache. So, I'm going to put a little pin in the project this weekend, do some research over the coming work week & then attack it once again next Saturday.

I'm putting it here as I'm also trying to remind myself: This is, in fact, the point of this exercise. To learn what is manageable, to learn new things, challenging things that will make me want to throw my monitor through a window.

So while this weekend could be considered a 'failure', it's been a valuable experience nonetheless.

I also fully believe in the potential of this game idea, so don't want to abandon it, which - in theory - is the plan for future project if they don't reach a reasonable point before the end of Sunday.

I look forward to sharing the finished thing!
