Game Update

Not much to say as I keep progressing through each stage with the task of creating all the invisible zones, landscape, and name all of the towns. Still toying around with some ideas for dialogue but for now all the new towns will leverage the random dialogue system.

I’m starting to play more Slay the Spire, and I keep asking myself if there is something I can learn from that game that might be applicable to my game. One of the interesting things about Slay the Spire is that each class has multiple strategies of their own that only work for them. It’s a flavor of sorts. It would be interesting to have more flavor for our 6 different aspects in the game that is more than damage coefficients in different terrain types. I need to think about this a bit more to figure it out.

Personal Update

Getting ready for Valentines Day this month, and my birthday. I’m so blessed to have met someone so amazing so quickly. At the time I didn’t think my heart could be open again, and yet here I am almost four weeks into this relationship. It’s nice to be with someone dependable, supportive and stable.

I’ve started reading/listening to the book “The Way of The Superior Man”. It is “uncomfortable” to read to say the least. It is reminding me about a lot of areas I could do better. Many of the concepts in the book would be difficult to prove, but I am entertaining them.

The primary thing that is speaking to me right now in the book is the idea of “being on your edge.” Pushing past the things that are comfortable to do something that you don’t want to do. I inspected myself, and am continuing to ask myself what is my edge? I am leaning towards getting involved with the local homeless in some way. Probably volunteer at a shelter. It is an area where I would be pushing myself, and I have some fear about it. It’s not to far beyond my capacity right now though. I am entertaining other ideas but this is the one that is the most uncomfortable for me.
