Our Ad Astra Perciclum weekly update entails full completion of the Solar System, the continuation of combat mechanics, and fixing of a known lighting bug on planets. Our second live stream on 9/6/2017 8pm EST via https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/474874671/ad-...

Our goals as of right now are to finish the groundwork for the combat mechanics in the game which entails:

- Proper space movements

- Firing

- Hitting enemies

- Destroying enemies

- Shields

- Resource management

All of the above are key aspects of the gameplay and require that they be completed for the prototype. We plan to do special abilities of ships much later as they are more complex and not entirely needed in the prototype version of the game. As of currently we are trying to lay the concrete framework in which the game is based off of and ensure that it runs smoothly.

Procedural Generation will be a must so we are creating prefabs and working on a map generator in which to use to quickly generate a numerous amount of planets. The planets will need to follow basic laws of the universe such that arctic planets aren’t close to the star and volcanic planets aren’t extremely far out in the solar system.

We plan to implement very simple buttons for our UI specifically for fast traveling around star systems, and the galaxy. The UI for the space ships are also relevant but in our scheduling we plan to create the UI for space combat later when a lot of the special combat features are in, as it does not make sense to create visuals for a piece of the game that does not exist yet.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
