It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve done one of these but I’ve made good progress on stuff since then.

The adventure game I’ve been making for the library is almost done. All the playtesting went well and I just have a few final tweaks left for the final version. It will be good to move on from this. I had a great time making it and learned so much but also deadlines are tough for me, especially when they’re for projects in my spare time. That said, a big thing on my to-do list in life was to make a game in Adventure Game Studio and I actually fucking did it. I had it as a goal for this year and it seemed unlikely until the work came in early this fall so I feel incredibly fortunate to have something kick me in the butt and finally do it.

Now that I finally cleared the roadblock of learning AGS and will be putting a game out there very soon, there will be more tiny adventure games to come. I’m still not 100% sure what I’ll do next. I have a half finished clay animation adventure game sitting around and I should probably do that one. I don’t think it will take too long and it would be fun, so it’s likely to be that. I have ideas for what I can work on after that but we’ll see where the next few months lead me. I’m also working on doing more streaming on Twitch and posting the VODs to my YouTube. I was anti-streaming for a long time but I think it’s actually good for me to talk to folks while playing comforting games so I’ll keep doing it.

Pretty much all of November was a rough month for me mentally so that wasn’t fun. I’m past it all now and doing much better. Don’t really know if I could have done much to prevent it since it’s election/SAD season/increase of work but happy to be past it.

Well, lol, sorry that ended on a bit of a downer note but I’m through the rough part now and doing better. Really!
