Hello again! it's been a couple of months so I figured I should make a post saying what I've been up to and my current road map.
First off, I disappeared again after getting another job. Finding good ones is hard, but this one will likely stick for awhile. My hours are a lot better and I have had a LOT more time to work on things, of course I also have my kid, so that's where a lot of that time went!
I also built a new computer from scratch. This was a much needed upgrade though it did result in a couple of weeks where I didn't have access to my usual desktop environment. It also lead to me switching from Windows to Linux. I still have a copy of Windows 10 that I mostly use for playing games, I am about 90% on Linux Mint now. This means I have less distractions since most games are a reboot away so I can focus on tasks better.
I've been working on my programming projects so here's the quick rundown:
Project Dawn (from WAY back when I first tried making a game in unity) has been re-booted entirely and I've actually made a lot of progress. It's a 3rd person spaceship game somewhere in between the X games and EVE Online. I probably won't mention more than that for a long time since that's a very large project and even though I've been burning through my checklist it's still a very long ways from being playable.
Sheep Tutorial is kind of on hiatus for now. I lost some of my source files when I transferred (an issue with getting Linux to play nice with ntfs file systems caused by my relative lack of Linux experience) but it's not abandoned, just waiting for a long weekend where I can sit down and get back up to speed.
For the month of October I am working on a project called Spooky! It's planned to be a 2d platformer I am planning to launch on October 31st. More info will come as I make progress worth showing.
If all goes well with Spooky and I get relatively close to my release without any major issues, November will be dedicated to going back and really re-working Gothic. I've noticed it's probably my highest trafficked project and I really sort of dumped it without giving it a proper round of polish. I won't make any major promises outside of cleaning up the UI and re-working alot of systems that were largely hacked together.
Lastly, December will be Reindeer Rearing's month of love. I plan on thoroughly re-working it's systems and giving it a solid round of polish it definitely deserves.
Well that's pretty much all I have for right now. I hope to have some screenshots and better news to share shortly!
