I'm setting up a blog today, Sunday. I didn't do much work on the game, actually, none today. Instead I set up this NeoCities page. I hope to have more to show you all soon. Right now I'm going to look around some other people's pages. I gotta get a guestbook up ASAP. :)
28-01-2025 --
Yesterday evening worked on Gregor, made and implemented a mock-up start screen. Tried to use gitbash but it didn't work well, apparently because my version is 7 years old! Hope to work on it again this evening. Today I'm at work, as a carer, we're going out to the shops. Hope the weather stays nice. Guestbook is implemented, hope you'll sign it! :)
28-01-2025 --
Worked on the game, got in some more placeholder assets and such. Added more lanes, tweaked speed logic.
I'm thinking about scope again, and progression systems. Like, if every "point" you get for your "score" is a more handcrafted experience, that's the kind of game I want to make. But surely that would take forever. Whereas a game with rising numbers can have infinitely more content, but less soul. And of course there's a balance in between. I think there's alot of care to be taken there.
Anyhoo, level 1 is coming along nicely still. Hanging out with my dad tomorrow should be good. I'm tired as hell. :)
29-01-2025 --
Spent the day with my dad, got not too drunk. Worked on the game. Implemented a log/platform and watched my monster of a movement script collapse under its' own weight. Tried a few fixes that mostly made things worse! Glad I implemented git checkponts as of yesterday. I don't like it but I'm really going to have to rethink the whole movement system. Oh well, keeps me busy I suppose. Art class tomorrow, with pastelle colours, looking forward to that. Still tired though! :)
05-02-2025 --
I guess it's been a whole week, been busy. Enjoyed working with pastelles in art class. Haven't done much work on the game, well I suppose I've worked through some of the issue in my head. But I'm sure now I need to write the movement system from scratch. I got started a bit yesterday, didn't make much progress but I'm optimistic. It's getting-drunk-with-dad day again today but I'm writing this before instead of after. Maybe I can work on the game this afternoon. Might enjoy a hot bath too. Anyway I've got some minutes this morning so I'm going to try to smarten up this Neocity a bit, maybe add some content, but no promises. :)
06-02-2025 --
Art class was fun, although I didn't like the medium much, oil pastelles. I made the yin-yang fish you can see on the gallery page. Work was fine, good really. Did significant work to the HTML of this website, specifically pulling the CSS styles into a separate stylesheet file (which is standard practise anyway but I am just a beginner), and also doing the same to the Javascript that runs the background particles. This saves me having to copy over changes, but just as importantly makes everything MUCH more readable. :)
07-02-25 --
Been feeling less than 100% today, had a slightly worrying dizzy spell at work. Bruno says I need to relax, meditate, be kind to myself and such. Anyway I'm visiting a new Karate class for a taster next week.
Work was fine though overall. Played some video games afterwards and started watching The Abyss. And I gave myself my bi-annual haircut. :)
09-02-2025 --
Still feeling pretty tired but not very busy today. Spent this morning working on the site again, added the first links and widgets. I do have to walk to the shop for some food and such. My appetite has been failing me more than usual these last few days, but I gotta eat whether I like it or not. Guess I'm feeling a little low today, maybe a little hungover, but everything's fine really. Just gotta shake my tailfeathers and get moving! :)
09-02-2025 --
Today is the day I quit being addicted to Nicotine, at least that's the plan. I ran out a few hours ago and it's already been a little pressuring. I'm using other vices liberally in the meantime, for the next few weeks. Having said that, I feel I've had plenty plenty of my other main vices for now anyway. So positive all round I suppose, I feel pretty light-headed but I'm not sure that's necessarily a problem right now. I feel I should get into the habit of writing alot more each post. I went to the shop and bought bread and meat and milk and a meat pizza. I feel terrible, of course, for all the meat eating. But I also struggle to feed myself, and high-calorie appetising food is a personal priority top be balanced against the social priority of saving animals and the environment. I watched the whole of BladeRunner 2049 again. Any reasonable person can answer for themselves why it's worth a hundredth rewatch of course. I'd like to create a neon-3d-wireframe-flying game, low stakes, just experiential. All the better if it runs on potato programming. Well that's my longest blog post now! :)
10-02-2025 --
I sent a message that was important for me to send. I'm afraid I won't recieve any reply.
I watched the first 3 episodes of Invincible S3 on Amazon Prime. They were great. :)
11-02-2025 --
I feel bad about myself, I made some mistakes. I drank too much and it affected my job. It should blow over but I feel pretty bad right now. I created an 88x31 button for this site, and spoke to some possible collaborators. Dad-day tomorrow should be nice. :)
11-02-2025 --
Feeling a bit better. Had a bath, finally began work on the new code [EDIT: for the Gregor restart], it seems to be going well. :)
13-02-2025 --
Yesterday with dad was good, playing Immortals Fenyx Rising. Today at work was mostly fine, still expecting some blow-back from earlier in the week though, but can handle it. I've been trying to practise healthier relaxation techniques, especially being in the early days of quitting Nicotine. Mostly just taking a moment to breathe, be present, and trying to give myself permission to do less sometimes. That being said, I still want to keep trying to do more more more! Yesterday evening I began work on another GODOT project. I'm anxious that I start projects over and over, and don't finish any. But when I started up this third concept I kinda now feel, between these 3 ideas, that I don't want to start any more for now, I'm happy to move between these ones.
So I guess I'm in a good position for the moment. :)
Later: Also did a little work on the formatting of the blog page. I think it actually looks worse now, but for different reasons, I did make the back-end change I was aiming to, so still feels like progress! :)
17-02-2025 --
Came home from work early today as I could feel a virus, a cold coming on. It got quickly worse and I slept on the couch for a while. Still feel pretty ill, expect to be off work tomorrow too. Postponed my Karate taster session, today is definitely not a good day for it.
Not wanting to use it as an excuse though, I'm losing touch with the GameDev a bit, not feeling the fire. Which is all the more reason to work harder at it! :)
18-02-2025 --
Spent today with Dad, good as always. Felt mostly fine until getting near home, when this virus caught up with me gain. Nearly gone but I think early bed tonight.
Suddenly realised what was causing the specific formatting problem on this here blog page, obvious in retrospect and easily fixed.
Been thinking alot about a new game concept, and also much older game concept. So much for being settled on three a few days ago.
I feel like I could say alot more but, my mind is pretty stuffy I'm gonna head to bed and hope to get work done tomorrow. :)
20-02-2025 --
Still feeling super worn down after what feels like a difficult couple of weeks, and then being ill. I was upset today feeling ready to give up, so many things feel impossible to face or insurmountable.
Anyway then I also went to art class which was really pleasant and I feel better for it. We used watercolours which I found to be quite nice in some ways. I'll try to get round to updating the gallery soon. :)
23-02-2525 --
I think I'm beginning to feel better. Enjoyed my slob weekend playing Elden Ring and Spiritfarer, now it's Sunday morning and I'm feeling pretty sluggish out of bed but looking forward to a reasonably pleasant day with the creative projects, including the website, some game code and maybe 2d assets.
I've been thinking alot about this new game idea. Not wanting to give too much away, we'll call it a sort of aquarium colony sim thing. The systems programming for it is going to be vastly beyond anything I've attempted before. But I've already started chipping away the tiniest edges. Might take a few iterations, this one, several few core rebuilds I bet. So 2d asset time might be well spent, since those won't go out of date quite the same.
Why put myself through that, instead of finishing one of the other 3 smaller-scope projects? Well I think this one might be the "dream game". Can't stop thinking about it anyway so I want to put a bit more into it, I think I enjoy working on it. Maybe 2d is the way to go in the end, there are lots of reasons to prefer 3d but I don't prefer the coding. When I'm working in 2d I can more directly visualise what the code is doing, just the fact that every vector has one fewer component makes things easier to wrap my head around.
Now that I say it, though, I'm not giving up on 3d either, I still like it. Anyhoow that'll do for a Good Morning. :)
23-02-2025 --
Had a reasonably nice day, spend most of it on the retroweb, chatted to a couple of peeps.
Finally managed to get round to some programming. Added a way for the player to starve to death. :)
20-02-2025 --
Tired again today but more often this week it's been a good tired. Worked on more statistics mechanics for the simulation game. Behaviour mechanics are now a bit broken but there's a plan for a rework and it shouldn't be too brutal. Added a death sprite, which technically improved the game from a player POV. And laid the groundwork for status readouts for debugging.
The problem with the behaviour mechanics is that they're really only set up for the idle movement. It might be possible to add other behaviours in, but I'd rather rework it from this point before I've plugged anything else in. So the idea is to use an action-queue system, similar to The Sims, but less visible or interactable to the player. I've raised the tick speed for AI from once per second to 10 per second. Had to keep doing math with multiples of 10 and 60 to recalculate values for other stats. Part of me wants to switch to floats, but that'd just be lazy and it'd make it harder to interpret everything in the long term I think.
Signed up to an upcoming speed dating night! That's pretty daunting! I haven't been on a date in a long time, so I guess it makes sense to have 10 at once. I need a new outfit, I don't think wizard robes are encouraged. So to that end I'm intending to ask someone in a clothes shop to dress me, which is also a little scary. And speaking of personal growth, gotta rebook that karate class. Improving personal habits will give me more time and energy for that, I've still been indulging a bit.
Work was pleasant, I felt a bit overenthusiastic to be honest and I feel it began to affect my behaviour so gotta reign that in. I had one period when I felt quite angry and frustrated, it wasn't entirely unwarranted but I felt it harder than I should. Activities included dancing and a music quizz. But most of the music was WAY before my era end very much not my style anyway.
Did the dishes, more housework mightn't hurt. Took a bath. I've been following a "QiGong" morning routine on Youtube for a few days, quite enjoying it, will try to continue. "It's wonderful to feel the body, alive." But I'd call it a good day overall. :)
25-02-25 --
It's late and I'm phone typing so this could be a shorter post than I'd hoped. Feeling fine ready for sleep.
Work was fine, played pool in the morning and helped some people with their physical therapy in the aternoon. Had an awkward moment with a colleague, around an issue that impacted me seriously, which I have to accept will never really be resolved. In the end I can't know that anyone's telling the truth, but I dont't want to walk around paranoid so I have to try to move on.
Anyway, came home and had a beers. Watched the final episode of season 4 of The Expanse, it was pretty good. It handles muddy morality really well this season, I felt. And of course that guy that plays the guy, the guy who's in Torchwood who leads the Earth Colonists. Great actor, loved every minute of him.
Watched most of Banshees of Inishyrin, it's really good, I appreciated the scenery alot this time. I genuinely don't know how to write that kind of dark comedy. Some films cross the line, for me, into just bleak. I usually have an example for that but I can't now remember what it is. Anywau Banshees really skirts the line, but I can mostly enjoy it. Didn't catch the end but I've seen it before so I might not finish it.
Arite, bed now. :)
26/02/25 --
Did my Qigong stretches this morning, and meditation. Said a silent thank you to myself. Spent most of the day with Dad, still playing Immortals Fenyx Rising, we finally reached the third island (including the tutorial), should keep us enertained for a while more. We talked alot, but none of it with much gravity.
Got home, didn't do much, had a bath. Made a new Merman sprite, it's tricky, I don't love it but it is an improvement on the previous placeholder. Tweaked the stats code just a tiny bit to try to improve the stats timing a bit. It's a bare improvement, really gotta do the architecture like I said before.
Got some kinda head/jaw/tooth ache. But also in my back, and my skin feels a bit itchy. Idk I think I'm fine just gotta get to bed, pretty busy week ahead. :)
27/02/25 --
Work was unpleasant, boiled over at someone who I felt had been mistreating me, but if course on their side it was subtle so nobody sees, whereas I snap in front of everyone. I tried to smooth it out with her afterward, don't know that it went very well. Feel like I can't make a week without some drama. Fortunately, it tends to get lost under all the other minor dramas going on at work that don't involve me.
Has art class today, worked with watercolour and gouache. I liked the gouache alot, it's like watercolour as a paste, so it can be used like an acrylic, it's much easier to pick up pigment, I liked it alot. That's image 9 on the gallery page.
We picked up some ornaments for the garden at work. But also gnomes. Fucking gnomes! D:
Now helping a solo dev check his netcode real quick before bed. :)
02-03-2025 --
Agh! Another quick one because I'm days behind!
Previous post was Thursday.
Friday - Work was fine, hardly even work it was a training day. Then went shopping for new clothes, it was a long and busy day. By the time I then had a few beers and a too-hot bath, I fell asleep while drying myself.
Saturday - Met my cousin for a lunch in town. We don't have muvh in common but she keeps me on my toes. Besides that I played Elden Ring and Elden Ring. Oh, and The Witness.
Sunday - Today I kicked off with housework. Did a few important jobs. Always more to do, mind you! Prepped some new painting supplies and made a colour-swatch-chart for my new watercolour tubes. Drank beers, had bath, did not fall alseep while drying myself!
Now I'm gonna grab an early bed before Monday work tomorrow. :)
04-03-2025 --
Last night went to bed VERY early. I don't mind sleeping when clearly I need it, I was tired all day yesterday. but I'm missing out on time to work on my projects.
Work was fine yesterday, dancwas fun. Watched a somewhat obscure animated movie from the 90s called Gen 13, it was pretty great. Really scratched that particular retro-scifi-animation itch that I had. It featured nthe voice talents of John DeLancie and Mark Hamill. Mark Hamill you wouldn't recognise if you're listening for Luke Skywalker, but I recognised him from his Joker roles. DeLancie just did the job, I don't know that he really enjoyed voice work.
Might be struggling for time still in the next few days, got a big event coming up that I'm anxious about. "Excited", I'm "excited" about this upcoming event. :)
09-03-2025 --
Well I went Speed Dating, it was difficult, emotionally draining. It was good though, I enjoyed meeting all the women and I enjoyed seeing The City at night.
Still pretty tired and not sleeping great, it's 0500 now. I spent one of the wee hours on a painting, a watercolour. I'm not sure about it yet but hopefully it'll come together. I quite enjoy the process anyway.
I've been watching the Dark Knight trilogy. I love Christopher Nolan films generally, but I'm not sure the writing stands up. Most of the ators are great. It's a shame Tom Hardy doesn't get to shine from behind his mask, but right now I'm on Heath Ledger's excellent Joker performance.
I've re-booked the Karate taster session I'd had to cancel when I was ill. I'm a bit concerned to take on more right now since I've been a bit overwhelmed and burned out. But I'm getting on top of some things, and art class is funishing next week so I'd like to have something else on. DnD to look forward to this week as well, mind you.
Work has been good, made it through a week without any drama so that's nice. I'd like to write more but I'm super tired so I'll try to get back to sleep now. :)
09-03-2025 --
I woke up with the notion to get rid of my old consoles. The ones I've been hanging on to for over 20 years. The SEGA MegaDrive that my parents played while I was gestating. So I made them a shrine, it's on the Widgets page.
Haven't looked at game-dev for a week or more I guess. I hit a bit of a Dunning-Kruger moment, where I turned a corner and realised I didn't know what I didn't know! I think I'll get back to it, I think I hope to. But right now I don't mind taking a little breather, as long as I'm working on something. Which I am, at the moment, although I could always do more I'm sure. :)
11-03-2025 --
Work has been fine, good even. Drinking bit too much in the evenings. Getting super tired whenever I try to face GameDev or Art. But I'm still trying! Came up with a new game concept based on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The coding should be "relatively" simple, but I'm realising coding in general is harder than I thought.
So I spend a while surfing the pweb again. Added 5 new button links, I think two of them lead to different Melon sites though, they're prolific. All my links are great though, you should check them out. :)
16-13-2025 --
Gash, time flies. Work has still been fine and good. Drinking too much kinda reached a head a few days ago, but I think that's helped me feel I've had enough for now. I am progressing in some ways but alcohol is proving stickier than I could imagine. Haven't quite ciggies yet, jsut cut down. It might be related to me feeling tired, in which case I really should struggle through it.
Focussed on game dev today, had to rebuild the most basic menu template, and it took alot of doing. Literally just for a start screen, a game screen and a death screen, and the correct transitions between them. But after most of the day, I have a pretty sleek template that I'm mcomfortable re-using. It's really not equipped for scalability, but it doesn't need to be. I used a different input handling technique than my previous attempts, which might not have been the best choice, not one I tihnk I'll use in future. But for this particular project I think I've got it working pretty well.
Right, then, now I just need to make... the rest of the game. :)
Additional, hours later: Still enjoying myself with the new submarine game. And I added a few new links (you should check them out, they're all amazing). I've got 19 which is enough to start a second row on my monitor! :D
17-03-2025 --
Well I enjoyed the Karate alot, I'll for sure be going back. It does cos some money, but I'm sure it'll be worth it, it's cheaper than the art class (which sadly finished up last week).
My family member called to ask if I could walk up and feed their cats tomorrow. Should be a nice walk, though it is long. I didn't feel they were very supportive, although they called to chat and see how I was, I think it was mainly because they needed a favour.
Anyhoo, try not to let it bring me down, I'm suitably exhausted for a nice sleep I hope. Last night I was kept up by a vicious argument at my neighbour's flat, I was afraid it would turn violent. I wouldn't ever call the cops on a petty crime but, at least in my country, they do de-escalate situations like that. By the time they arrived though it was all quiet anyway.
So, again, looking forward to a thorough sleep. :)
19-03-2025 --
Things have been mostly good the last few days but I snapped at a colleague again and got in trouble. So that's had me feeling guilty and anxious. I hope to control my behaviour better the next time I feel like lashing out. I'd like to practise more meditation more often.
Besides that though mostly fine. I'm really sore today from Karate (was fine yesterday). Went to town today and sold the SEGA Mega Drive and PS1, for £25 total. At least we have the shrine to remember you by. Also the 8 or so games that I couldn't pawn. :P
It was a gorgeous day in town. I had a decent lunch that was very big and heavy, getting pretty tired now but I'd still like to do a little housework before bed. Been sleeping ok, but could always use more. :)
19-03-2025 --
I feel like I'm not being as detailed as I want to about game dev work. I've been working on a submarine game. I've got the basic movement mechanics down and a little bit of visuals, as well as the very simple meta-interface. I've created an emitter which fires obstacles, however I want to change that around to fire level chunks. That should be quite easy, so should be creating level chunks. Easy, but tedious. Overall I'm actually quite confident in my ability to code this game, which is kind of amazing. But the creation of assets is going to be a herculean task. In the end though I think we can pull off a somewhat hand-crafted feel, with a bit of procedural variation. Just keep playing to the strengths of the games we're using as inspiration as well, such as Alto's Adventure and Dredge. The game should need pretty minimal writing but I think it could be well enhanced with at least some, I'm thinking like a rage game. And of course I want the writing to be cryptic and/or disturbing and/or deep. Time I made that Cruelty Squad shrine I think!
20-03-2025 --
It has been an OK day, good even. Work was mostly good, did a bit of gardening. Spent this evening chatting to a really nice person who is way more talented than me haha. But they don't do game code so maybe I can trick them into thinking that's the hard part, and making all the assets for me. ;D
Other than that worked on the game a bit more, it's feeling really stable. I'd like to put in place the logic for the ending (or endings? shhh!), and for the one other mechanic that I do want in the game. I keep thinking how easy it might be to implement a new feature, scope creep is present when coding is going well. But I should count my blessings, quit while I'm ahead. Not ruling them out mind you, but I am leaving them out for now. And if that makes them impossible to implement later (which it won't anyway) then so be it.
Anyhoot, gotta get moving to bed soon. I've almost recovered from my last karate class, which means it must be nearly time for my next karate class! :)
22-03-2025 --
Technically it's the 23rd, being past midnight, but only 10 minutes past midnight, it's more of an extension of the Saturday.
Karate was basically fine but I'd like to be more prepared next time.
Spent some hours in town with my cousin today, had a coffee, always a pleasure.
Played TinyKin and Overwatch.
Tired now goodnight. :)
22-03-2025 --
Wowee! I'd been sure I was having alot fo dreams lately but I couldn't remember any of them. Well in the last hour or so I had a bunch of them at once!
So there was a party for me, like a birthday party. I fell out with a colleague that I actually do like and he left. I fell asleep and missed most of the party. When I woke everyone was leaving, they seemed to have enjoyed themselves and I tried to greet as many as I could, but I was diappointed to have missed it. The colleage that I like switched identities once or twice with the colleage I don't like.
Then it was kinda the next day, at 10.00am and my hotel room was a tip. Somehow I had more clothes on the floor than I could hope to deal with. Enough to fill a car to the brim. So I was panicking about having to pack up and check out and somehow get them home. But then we were in the theatre and it was time for me to perform (again, apparently?). People were under the impression I could play Keyboard so I was put in front of one. Then there was another woman on stage who was playing, and I said I can't play but I can back her up on vocals. But I didn't know the song. Then I left the stage to sort my checkout problem.
Someone told me check out was between 4pm and 8pm, which was a relief. I said I might even get a relaxing dip in the pool, though I still wanted to have a plan for getting home first. I walked through the mall part of the hotel. Phoned my mum for help, she was a bit annoyed but reassuring.
Walked in on what was maybe a co-gender changing room? Where some very attractive women were naked, that was nice.
OH! Just flashed on another scenario, was playing a game with someone, like hide-and-seek, he was following me. I went into a bathroom, into a tiny cubicle, so small I could just barely close it while squeezing myself. But I was already in a dead end, I wasn't escaping, just squeezing into a funny spot to be found.
There was also some time in the sloped, overgrown garden. And the large wooden barn with a hidden back section, which I had to crawl into through the rafters.
Almost everyone in the dream was from work, which I think is pretty normal for me since I see those people the most.
Anyway I jumped out of bed, trying to hold as much of this in my head, so I could get it written down. I enjoy dreaming alot, and whether by forgetting dreams or by not having them, I'm disappointed to miss out. I might write down some of my older dream memories too. :)
24-03-2025 --
Just watched Limitless, the movie. Pretty good film I enjoy it alot, I enjoyed the series too. And every occasionally it hits a really high note, touches on something really clever for a moment.
Went to Karate this evening (not Karaoke!). Feeling the strain of two sessions a week, plus the commute. Recieved my uniform, a size smaller, still too baggy, I'm just built so thin.
Work was fine was fine.
Not feeling I've had the time to spend of game dev this week. Hope to dive in (pun intended) tomorrow evening.
Looking forward to a week off work next week. Hope the weather is nice. :)
27-03-2025 --
Can it have been three days, time flies.
Spent yesterday with my dad playing Outer Worlds, which was great. Walked through the woods on the way home, the weather was nice. I brought home a moss-covered rock.
Today been super tired, but work was fine. Did some gardening, enjoyed getting my hands dirty. Posted on Melon and connected with another creator for a fleeting moment.
Karate tomorrow, this twice a week is still getting on top of me. Housework is slipping. I keep telling myself I'll do it tomorrow, but I'm going to run out of tomorrows because I'm nearly out of clean socks! I probably won't do it tomorrow, actually. But I'll do it the day after, for sure. ;P
Watched a movie called Triangle of Sadness which was a delight, it had social commentary, humour and some cool set pieces. Watched the classic Simpsons episode with the hallucinagenic pepper, it was great. I forgot that the hallucination is only a small part of the episode, and the rest was more emotional but it was quite touching, and it ends with "Who Wears Short Shorts!". And I watched a summary of Netflix's Adolesence show, which everyone has been talking about. Looks good but stressfu, not high on my list.
Did a tiny touch of work on Subby, better than nothing. I'd been reluctant to start making 2D assets but I've realised that's because I wanted moving foliage and I didn't really know how best to do that. Now I realise the best way to do that might be to not do that, and focus my efforts elsewhere. I want to see about getting some more particle effects and shaders in, it's worth making sur ethe water feels just right. Particles are fun, not so sure about shaders though. I'm sure I'll figure it out. :)
EDIT: 20 minutes later I have the most basic of watery particles. Long way to go but it's a start! :D
29-03-2025 --
Played Psycho Patrol R.
02-04-2025
Terribly sorry for the lack of updates. Despite being off work most of this week, I still feel like time is limited. Hoped to catch up on housework and projects, instead I caught up on drinking (not that I was behind) and video games. Finished a run on Hades, that's always satisfying! I've had about 120 escape attempts and that's I think the 5th success. Weirdly 3 of them have been with the boy, which isn't especially my favourite weapon but I like it well enough. The gauntlets maybe my favourite weapon but I don't tihnk I've managed with them yet, my other two wins were on the shield and machine gun, which are two of my less favourites.
I've got some images to add to the gallery, don't let me forget! Also still would like to add a sidebar, though I'm not sure what to fill it with.
Haven't been doing game-dev much either. Got myself some pastelles and black paper, enjoyed working with that. Karate was fun.
Spend most of today playing a Texas Chainsaw Massacre game, it was really good! Like a multiplayer Resident Evil 7. I've never seen the films, I don't like slashers generally, but as a game it's very compelling. :)
09-04-2025
Oh no, a whole week, guess I didn't pick up the pace. I'm so sorry, blog.
It's been weird, I mean I've been in a weird headspace. I don't want to go into alot of depth but I think I'm starting to feel better. Hope so
Budgeting badly this month, spending too much on drink, though I am enjoying drinking. Watched 4 episodes of Scavenger's Reign last night, over a bottle of wine. I enjoyed it alot. I was maybe expecting more, given how much it's been raved about. but I did like it alot all the same.
The weather's been nice, I've switched my playlist to summer. Feeling pretty good.
Spent an hour on the website this morning and pretty much just managed to break it. I think it'll come together, when I can get back to it. A full rebuild wouldn't be the worst thing, you know, but that's a huge task also. And I haven't done any game dev. Not feeling passionate about any of my game projects.
I have been enjoying physical 2d art though, with pastelles on black paper. After a few passes with filters they can come out really spectacular. I've got 3 on the gallery page now, and 3 more to upload soon. But for right now, I'm logging off to go spend the day with my Dad. :)
