Game Update
Well the troop saving bug has reared it’s ugly head yet again. I didn’t expect it to be so easy to deal with, but it’s pretty frustrating still. It has become bad enough that I’m actually handing the problem over to my mentor to see what he can make out of it. I feel like my time will be much better spent working on mundane things like adding more sounds to all the buttons and skills that launch during combat.
On the art front I’ve started talks with someone to work out getting the key art done. I spoke with an old friend from high school to see what he could do, but he felt like he would be a bad fit for the style I would need. I have a lead on another artist which I will be pursuing.
This past week I had to spend most of my free time studying as I learn new material for my day job. It cut into my game development time which is to be expected. Hoping to get all the new information on lock down soon so that I can reallocate time to the game.
Personal Update
My kids were a lot of help this week as I had to do a lot more studying. My oldest son helped out a lot with some of the typical chores I do. He’s really growing into a fine young man. Being a single parent is tough of course and so you just hope that your kids get what they need from you to mature properly.
My girlfriend came to visit this past weekend and she’s starting the move in process. I love the things she brought with to add to the house. It’s great to get more insight into who she is as a person by seeing her art. I catch myself admiring it from time to time. We got the chance to go out dancing together which I haven’t done in a long time. It was a really great time out just getting crazy and even riding a mechanical bull. I have a lot to learn about that if I decide to do it some more in the future.
The World of Six Aspects
These stories set in the world of Six Aspects are not cannon but might become cannon in the future.
The winds of change are upon us. We the people of the Air live high up in the mountains separated from typical society. A simple life where we can enjoy living away from large crowds of people. Some among us have been so lucky to have gained the power of flight. We fly with wings that we grew into as we matured. We always knew in our hearts that we were meant for the sky and so here we are. We care not for the politics of the day, or which empire is running the world. We only wish to live in peace and isolation away from everything.
