List of Projects to complete

The following list enumerates, by priority, my plans/projects for my holidays:
  1. Mr Ball 2 (only 2% done so far)
  2. Finish all Red Alert 3 factions' campaigns
  3. Create a map of the school for CS. (Dunno whether it would work)
I won't guarantee I can finish all of them by Chinese New Year '09, if not New Year, especially Mr Ball 2. I have a lot of stuff to do for my game because of all the storyline and special effects. Hmm... map of the school for CS eh? That idea was originally proposed by Seck Wei's brother, Seck Houng. And I kinda liked the idea, so that's why it's currently in my projects list.

The mapping thing is gonna be one heck of a challenge! But, hey, nothing comes without a price, right? I'm gonna have to get the floor plan first, then have to draw out the prototype. I faced a very annoying problem while mapping one strange map for CS (which turned out quite ok, for me, in the end). I didn't really plan on mapping anything, so I just made a map for fun. In the end, it grew into a must-finish type of map, because I just wanna add some more stuff into my map and play it. The only fun part of the mapping process is going in there and experiencing it. The problem was, I got lost during mapping at some point. Haha. But, that's just a minor problem. The bigger problem was that I just dunno how to continue my map. At one point, there were 3 passageways sticking out at the side of the map, opened to the dark void of space. I can't leave it open! It'll cause more problems! So, I kinda got stuck there, wondering how to end the map with 3 unfinished passages.

Hey, nobody wants to walk through a tunnel and fall down to nowhere at the end, no?

There's gonna be a lot of delays because my sister needs the laptop. I've no access to the laptop currently because she's busy with her stuff. Sigh... I need to do my stuff also. If only she knew that. Well, anyway, because of that, my Mr Ball 2 went wayyyyy out of schedule. I'm supposed to finish at least 25% of the game by now.

Oh, I guess things have to wait. I'm having doubts about my Mr Ball project now. To have come this far, I don't wanna redo it again. All the essentials have already been done. I will cry if I fail to finish at least 1 level.
