CIU330 Journal week nine

This week I continued to work on sprites and animations while also completing journals week 5-8. While in class Will had suggested that I spend no more then 2 hours working on sprites, Ive also set a goal to work on a single sprite and to move on after 30 mins- I want to be able to just have the line art done as I've been colouring in sprites with the paint bucket tool to save more time, another thing i might try and to is to have my learning journal in class and type what I was working on during the lessons and things that had been concerning me. I think that will motivate me to complete them faster since I would have a starting point.

Things I worked on during the week;

During class, I had some troubles designing the gate while trying to leave enough space for CU to walk through so I thought gates that slide open might the better option for the amount of time left.

Something that does concern me about changing it to a sliding one is how I would do the same thing to the top view.

Other things I worked on was finishing the cow animations and starting the sheep animations, I wanted to get all the needed sprites out of the way as I know the rest would only take a day tops if I sat down and worked on them constantly trying to organise my time to draw out the line art i'd be able to finish them off fairly quickly.

A bug that was caused by me, was I had accidentally replaced the CU animations with one of the cows causing CU to change into a cow when he walked left, but that was an easy fix and i just needed to swap the frames as normal.
