Game Update

Still moving forward although I’ve lost a lot of motivation. I might be in some sort of crisis where I’m asking if I’m even interested in getting it done anymore. I’m trying to re-ignite my fire for this. It’s at this point that I lean heavily on following through with commitments to work. Having a mentor that I work with every week at least ensures that I do an hour every week to move the needle forward. Just like Atomic

We worked some more on checking the text system and started making changes to how we will do portraits for the characters in the text boxes. I would say that our text system is pretty clunky right now which makes it difficult. The good news is that everything is working. The bad news is that it’s difficult to work with and I should probably create a text document for each stage that has the dialogue written so I can easily copy and paste it in.

I am looking to put a new build out soon. I’m debating on adding new stages to it or not. It will have a couple new features which I won’t spoil here, and if we do add a new stage that will also have some new features in it which will enhance the game play experience quite a bit.

Personal Update

Took two weeks off of my blog as I’ve had a significant life event. It really crushed me, and I’m still recovering. I started to remember some things about who I was a long time ago, before I divorced and was placed in a full emergency mode to take care of my kids. I can’t believe it but I might actually play Magic the Gathering Modern format again. A long time ago I used to stream video games and run a YouTube channel that was all about the game Hex the Shards of Fate. I kind of want to do something like that again, but I know how difficult it will be.

My boys are doing well. We have moved into what I call the “birthday season” in which there is a birthday every month for four months. This year will be the first year that I will have them for Christmas. I missed the last two due to transitions and other complications. I’m looking forward to spending time with them over the holidays this year. I’m not entirely sure what I will do the week of Thanksgiving however.

Still looking at possible business ideas revolving around gaming in the area. I like the idea of premium Dungeons and Dragons games, but I’m still working out the kinks with it.
