Then
I design video games for a living. Previously, I was...
→ Game developping
- Building a dynamic character system with swappable body parts.
- Listening to dark ambient viking music, thanks to my mom.
- Chilling with family.
→ Bathing in vaporwave
- Getting into vaporwave 10 years late.
- Enjoying the full Geometric Lullaby catalog.
- Absolutely loving ستاره دار by دل.
- Still working on low-res pixelart for that farming game.
- Learning how to use Aseprite. Pretty neat with added LUA scripts.
→ Conquering the galaxy
- Still playing Stellaris. A lot.
- Finally getting bored of playing Stellaris.
- Starting to watch Altered Carbon. Excellent worldbuilding.
- Still working on that hypothetical farming sim.
- Playing more RAV Vast than the usual.
→ Billboarding
- Doing various pixel art tests for billboard characters in RPG in a Box.
- Watching The Sandman series. Not as bad as I first thought.
- Watching My Octopus Teacher. Amazing, beautiful, I can't recommend it enough.
- Playing quite a bit of Dwarf Fortress.
- Playing way too much Stellaris.
→ Slowing down
- Stopping my weight lifting routine to avoid further tendon injuries.
- Focusing on bodyweight and cardio until the end of the year instead.
- Starting to solo roleplay the introductory adventure of Troika! with Mythic.
- Tripping on the excellent Dwarf Fortress soundtrack.
→ Drafting
- Diving back into Magic: The Gathering after a couple of decades.
- Playing MTG Arena to re-learn the basics.
- Participating to a MTG draft evening with coworkers. That was a lot of fun.
- Creating a "solo party" for Troika!
- Starting to learn mixing and mastering techniques.
→ Role playing
→ Drumming & bassing
- Crafting my first ever drum & bass track.
- Realizing it's not as hard as I thought it would be.
- Wondering why the hell I didn't do this earlier.
- Cleaning up my procedural dungeon scripts.
- Playing a bit of Baldur's Gate 3.
→ Coding & drumming
- Finishing Lunaires.
- Diving deeper into synthesis with the Analog Four.
- Crafting procedural dungeon algorithms with RPG in a box.
- Taking online courses to produce drum & bass.
- Actually learning and understanding basic music theory. About time, heh.
→ Rekindling the flame
- Feeling the itch to restart work on Under This Forlorn Tree.
- Thinking my conlang project would perfectly fit with it.
- Looking forward to also compose the soundtrack with my current setup.
