Game Update
Getting closer and closer to making our Steam Achievements work in game. This week we were able to get a test achievement working for the test game in steam. We didn’t see the pop up for it, and we’re still trying to figure out the connections to our game. There’s probably something small that we are looking over with the API.
I need to set aside time to start plugging away at the levels for the game. As a single dad I find that I have a lot of demands on my time, and I’m trying to work out every day now too. I feel tired pretty often by the time I get home and make the boys dinner each night. Often if I sit for to long I fall asleep.
I think I might have lost a little motivation to keep pushing forward. I need to set specific days to focus and get things done where I will throw away distractions for small chunks of time to be productive. I want to start streaming again but I don’t think that I’ll be able to until the summer time.
Personal Update
The boys go away to be with their mom for the summer in two weeks. This year I plan to be a lot more productive than last year. Thinking back I was productive last year too, but my relationship at the time kind of hurt my productivity, and for to many nights I would come home watch TV and go to bed. I need to recognize the habits I’ve formed when the boys are at home are different from when they aren’t here.
Last year I played some D&D at my local game store, but my board games nights kind of fell off. This year I have just met some people at work that want to have an active board game night and so that should be helpful. I’d like to run one of the module’s for the Dwarven Forge terrain that I own.
Things are still going strong with my Girlfriend, this month will be seven months which is the longest relationship I’ve been in since my divorce. We’ve made it through some trials already, and I’m sure there are more on the way. It’s good to have someone that really wants to be supportive and build me up. I need that encouragement.
I’ll be working Momo Con this month and was thinking about making some tee shirts with the company logo’s on the front and the Six Aspects logo on the back. It might be something cool to have to promote my game. I have to look into pricing though to figure out if it would be worth it or not. I really need to get some new business cards minimum.
I’m getting pretty annoyed with all the clutter in the house. I need to de-clutter things and figure out how to organize multiple areas. I’ll be targeting my board game collection, my miniatures painting area, and my retro games area. Eventually I want to fit a pinball machine in the house when I entertain for game nights, but these other things need to come first.
