Sometimes life throws enough at you that it’s time to stop everything and really take stock of what’s been going on. I’m in a state of limbo right now and as such have lost a lot of the motivation to move forward with the game. I’m still asking if it’s even a fun experience. I’m not sure if it is.
I’m not sure where I’ll be right now, and I’ve promised my boys a better place to live when they return to me mid summer. Maybe somewhere deep inside I’m saying to myself, “I’ll start working on the game after I move into my new house and I know where things are going.” That said it’s a bit of a mistake and I need to find some time to commit to making these spell effects.
So if I’m not working on my game what am I doing with all this at home Corona Virus time? Well I still socialize a bit through my phone but I’ve gone back to playing World of Warcraft. I managed to find a good guild of dudes to chill with which has been a bit odd for me as I haven’t been social with guys in a long time. It’s been a bit of an adjustment, but it’s good to have that as I’m typically running from one thing to the next when I have my kids with me.
From a game development standpoint I do find that I’m assessing the game and thinking about how they texture and the choices that they made in the game. Who knows once I release my full game maybe I’ll make some tribute maps from the game. I really appreciate the texturing work in the game, and I’m taking notes for the maps in my game.
Overall maybe it was a good time to take a short vacation and breather after the way this year has had a lot of surprises. I feel a little bad about not working, but as long as I keep getting a little done I think it will have a positive effect when I come back full force after I move.
