Game Update
The game levels are still being worked on week by week. Some levels have only a few things to do on each pass while others have a lot more. Right now were mostly focused on building the terrain and the invisible zones that control the movement and the combat scenes. I can feel myself getting more confident and speedy as I do it more. Sadly I’ve been bad about consistently getting work done outside of my weekly call with my mentor.
It’s funny to say, but I think the most important thing I can do right now is clean my office. It was cleaned so long ago before a lot of stuff happened this past year. I think I have discouraged myself from working in here. Although as I look around I do enjoy the decor that I have put on the walls, I seem to have a really bad habit of cluttering up my floors and not handling paperwork well.
Maybe I should take the Atomic Habits route of cleaning this and just set aside a small amount of time each day to move some things around in here and it will be clean before I know it. Who knows I might actually want to sit in here after I do that.
Personal Update
The holidays have been tumultuous to say the least. In a word I would call it unprecedented although I can’t say much more. The holidays tend to be hard on a lot of people, and I am no exception. Still I see a ray of sunshine at the end of the rainbow and so all hope isn’t lost yet.
On the bright side I have been getting closer to God during this time. I really felt like He was speaking to me and there were definitely times where I doubted myself, or asked why? Maybe one day I’ll be able to write the story.
Following through on what I had told my boys before the New Year, I picked up a drum set and a keyboard so we can do family band practice. The boys were mostly excited about their instruments, none more than my youngest. In fact it was his idea to do a practice tonight so we all sang while I played guitar. Well… 2/4 of my boys did some singing the others were more annoyed. We will try and work on it next week. I’m giving this experiment a year. I’m not surprised with the push back honestly. My shyest son asked if we were going to perform in front of other people. I see a lot of growth possibilities for all of them. I do need to set up the music area a little better too.
