Mid Year Update

hi! half a year has passed without much words from me. Life was hectic for the past months and still is a little turbulent, but i am still alive.

Life Update

right now, i have some free time to attend to my projects. Later, i will be off once more as life calls me back. It is alright though. i got a good feeling for what is coming up. i won't share much beyond that, but i hope it will go well.

on the side, i have recently join Wafrn - a tumblr-like site on the fediverse. While i enjoy making and putting stuff on this site, i found myself wanting some other site to post some intermediate stuff - doodles or short thoughts that don't quite belong in the site. i picked Wafrn because i prefer tumblr-style microblogging over twitter-style, plus the site has a sense of humour that i vibe with. You can find me here.

Update Progress Review

now for the meat of the post. Earlier this year, i have made a post on this year's goal for my projects. i think it is a good time to do a review and update those goals.

1. complete the bio for each significant pokemon that i've doodled before

   i mentioned i would like to complete at least 5 bios. Currently, i am at 3/5, with 2 of them already have their portraits up. So, i am happy to say that this is on track. Yay~!

2. i would like write more posts, other than update posts like these.

   this one... nope. i only written one post this year, and it was about doodling here. Maybe i'll try to get 2 more this year, how about that?

   i have also mentioned wanting to start a series named Fragment of Assorted Memories. Unfortunately, i am dropping that because i don't think i can write enough to keep that going. However, i still want to write about video games that i enjoyed over the years, but it will sporadic and random, like my doodles.

3. upload more old doodles.

   i uploaded 3 old doodles. i didn't really set a target for this one. However, with joining Wafrn, i like to upload to both Wafrn and this site at the same time for any old doodles going forward.

4. spice up the pages with background and images.
   uhhhhhhh..... no real target. i don't know what elese to say :v

5. Finish Bunny's Spelunking Adventure this year

   i'll say that progress is slow. i planned to have 30 levels in the game. 25/30 have been designed and 21 have its design finalised (i.e. playtested by me). Verdict: not great, but still possible to release this year. Man, level design is hard...

   i'll say that once again: don't expect too much out of this game. It ain't good-looking that's for sure, but i'll try to make the level design not suck as much.

6. V2 of the game engine

   No. Not until i finish the game. i may do some things behind the scene, but no real progress will be done.

final verdict: progress is slow, but progress is progress.

What now?

well, life goes on. i will still continue on slowly with this site and game dev and maybe post sporadically. Hopefully, i will post something before the year end, assuming life doesn't completely consume me :p.

anyways, i'll see you next time!

now let me get back to Deep Rock Galactic...
