Finalized Name
After months of putting my game under a working prototype title, I finally have an official name to cement the identity of it. From the results of a small poll I put out a week or so ago, I have decided to name my Breakout/Pinball game Neon Impact . I have even begun to workshop potential designs for the logo which you can see here.

I also hope to get something done to celebrate the 10th, but we'll see if time can be on my side for that....

Final Semester
This past week, I returned to my dorm at east bay to start my final semester as a senior before graduating with my bachelor of fine arts. This is one of the most pivotal moments of my life.

Light-up Panel
A quick update showing an object I have yet to properly implement in my latest ongoing project. Light up Panels. In some stages they'll appear and if the ball collides with them and lights all of them up, it'll result in a bonus or multiplier to the player's score. There's sprites of each light in a dim and lit variant and they contain all the letters of the alphabet. This is to give stages different words to try and sequence.
