Learning Challenge

Hey guys!
Today I read an article on

An Underappreciated Key to College Success: Sleep

This article is extremely interesting and honestly pretty helpful 
here is a link to anyone looking to learn about sleeping habits, I seriously recommend this read if you personally are struggling to see the purpose in sleeping correctly.
A very surprising fact that is mentioned In this article is how little colleges really pay attention to the fact that sleep is a huge factor In peoples ability to work hard and pass.
some colleges even offering 24 hour library access, which is almost encouraging all nighters.
a survey taken showed that 60% of people attending college actually want colleges to speak on the importance of sleep and how to manage it.

some facts show that up to 16 hours without sleep actually sees the brain begin to lose function and when that is taken up to 20 hours without sleep a person can act and feel the same as someone who is legally drunk.

This article is in a strange and funny way a good wake up call to those struggling to balance social life college and sleep.
and looks to hopefully influence people into gathering more time for sleep.
this year specifically sleep has been tossed under a bus for me coming home from college and instead of feeling sleepy I stay up Late working or playing games.
but as of late with all the college work coming in I have no time for my own pleasure which sometimes end up in me spending hours working then hours playing and then minutes sleeping (exaggerating but you understand what I mean)
In short get yo sleep you need it !

Testing

Hey guys! Today i did some testing of my game along side some more development, i cant currently access the college due to injury so ive had to make do with the laptop i have at home, unfortunately the laptop does struggle with unity but not so much to a point where i cant continue my progress (thankfully) all is going well and i am flying along with the game, due to some events i am a little bit behind but am doing work everyday to catch up. i am now finally happy with the overall look and feel of the game, although i was having some issues when it came to the bow. in some instances i would grab my bow but for some reason it wouldn't equip from time to time, this was a problem of my computers doing its beautiful job at deleting all my hard work ! but a rewatch of the gem tutorial and axe tutorial from jimmy Vegas was all i needed to be back on track! now i need to add, targets, when i watched some tutorials they seemed quite complex but im sure after a bit of hard work il

Hey guys! hope everyone had a good week, this week as part of the Audio team I was tasked with creating a list of essential audio to present to Chris and James. The list goes as follows: General ambience Planes birds gunfire fire wind rain war-cries soldiers chanting soldiers marching character specific  breathing walking dialogue injured noises specific to weapons reload gunshots (upon research I found 3 specific weaponry that was commonly used during the 1916 rising) bullet impact (miss) bullet impact (success) empty clip interact noises door item collection item delivery ammo collection weapon pickup Thanks to Ian Cudmore! for suggesting the use of  BBCs sound effect files  which features a lot of the sounds necessary to our project although I don't want to use just assets created by other artists I look forward to creating a lot of them on my own ! Talking to Chris, James and Trevor on the aspect of music we all agreed that when it came to
