To compliment the unexpectedly useful things list, I now talk about things I thought were going to be useful, but weren’t.
Pen & Paper
I expected myself to doodle and draw a lot of pictures. Instead, I leave as the cleanest paper yet.
At least it came with a free Mario figure. And speaking of doodling…
Wacom Tablet
My Wacom tablet was left untouched on top of my printer. The latter which was also useless, but that was expected for this event.
No love for the poor guy.
Fossil Wiki
I ended up using the Wiki more than the tablet and the notepad, but only for two things: first, the 30 minute game brainstorming.
And coming up with the game’s title
Fun fact: the second best contender for The Sentient Cube title was, indeed, The Artist’s Pornography. I decided against it for an obvious reason.
Unity’s Pre-installed Scripts
Seriously, I ended up using only 2 scripts in the end product: one for the water refraction, and the edge detecting post-image effect. Everything else? Illegibly coded and completely impractical for the game.
