Game Journal # 55 - Mailbox, Sound Room, Theater, Finishing Up the Shops

Hey guys! I got quite a bit done this week. My birthday also passed a while ago, so I'm 22 now. Yay? I feel old... well, anyway, I did the mailbox this week. Actually, since it's been a while, I can show you the ui inspiration I used.

Yep, Pokemon was a pretty big inspiration. Any of you guys ever use the Mail system? It was such a hassle to use that I never did. Haha. Also, fun fact: Guilty Gear Xrd was made with Unreal Engine. In that picture I have, they even use the default typeface (Roboto.) Incredible.

And here's the video showing it.

I've been feeling really good lately! I'm learning a lot, and doing a lot, too. It's awesome! I also discovered that my tarantula molted recently. He put his exoskeleton right in the corner of his burrow. He's super cute, guys. Every picture I tried to take of it had potato quality though, so you won't be able to see it. Uh, yeah.

Stay tuned for the next update!
