Activity: 

- Thought about the Project C game concept, searched for some assets and  started implementing basic stuff

Notes:

My project C will be a game based on lights. Its set in world where everywhere is darkness. The main character must stay in the light because shadows damage his health. Also there are monsters in the dark that will also attack him if he leaves the light. Those monsters hate light so they can be damaged by a flashlight for example. The player has a base camp and can expand into the darkness by placing beacons that provide light around them if they are connected to the base camp.  Even though I didnt copy it I realized this game resembles the delve mechanic in PoE where you also take damage from the darkness. Im not really sure yet what the point of the game will be but I guess just exploring the map. 

So far I just found an character and flaslight assets and connected them together. I also made the flashlight follow the players cursor.
