Hello, it’s been a hot second since I’ve posted anything on here, but fear not, I am still alive.
Since the last thing I posted [checks notes] over two years ago, a lot of things have happened! A few game jams, a lot of writing, and of course the Big project :)
I have to make another post after this so I’ll just hop to it…
Well, it’s been like two years since the last time I posted, but here I am, still alive. Considering the whole pandemic thing, that’s worth saying. I’m still alive and good health. I could say it’s because of the pandemic that I haven’t posted, but it’s mostly that I’ve been busy with unrelated things.
Here’s some stuff I’ve worked on since I last posted…
Hello, friends! In case you’re not up with the news (and also not from the Midwest United States), it’s currently about -20 degrees Fahrenheit outside, a temperature which is also known as fuck cold. It’s so cold that even the state universities have closed for the day, and plain old subzero temperatures aren’t enough to make that happen. So I’ve been inside all of today under a very cozy blanket so I don’t freeze. I haven’t gotten a whole lot done today–it’s just one of those tired days, I suppose.
Anyways, in case you missed it, this past weekend, January 25-27, was the Global Game Jam. My good couch friend, who’s working with me on some other projects, invited me to come along, and so I did! I ended up doing basically all of the art in the game (and nothing else), and all in all, it turned out really well. We (a team of five people: three coders, me, and a guy who did basically everything else) really made a whole-ass game in less that 48 hours, with game mechanics and even a cutscene that took like 14 people-hours to finish.

While I’m here, I’ll go ahead and talk about the process and how it went.
