Deadline: October

I am now giving myself a deadline for the game I'm making. It's what I'm calling The Race to the Pink October.

Robot Vacation

I'm on vacation right now. In fact, I'm so much on vacation that I'm not even sure where I am right now, exactly. Somewhere in Montana, at least several hours away from Yellowstone, and I think near Canada.

Card Games? Card Games.

Haven't been up to too much lately, except hating stuff.

There's been a whole lot of uncertainty on where I'll be living and what I'll be doing over the next few months - and, by extension, years - over the last month and a half. It has left me less prone to working on things and more prone to stuffing my face with donuts and watching Batman cartoons. Not kidding either. I've gained like 10 pounds in two weeks, or something. (Back on a diet, for sure.)

But excuses are like donuts: delicious, easily consumed three at a time, and make you feel better in the short term, but will always leaving you feeling guilty in the long run. Excuses may also cause weight gain, I think science should be back with an answer on that one any minute now.


So, like I'm quitting donuts, I am also quitting excuses. I've been a lazy unproductive slob for far too long now. Will be back at it soon.

Weird transition: I spent a few days making a card game prototype.

I did it.

Seeing this little message is the highlight of making games.

Back in Action

Wow, what a terribly unproductive two weeks I've had.

Progress on My Cubes

Look, progress! So you don't have to punch me in the face, as I said here.

Wandering Stars

Last night, I was reading and got an idea, as I so often do when I'm reading someone else's work. I wrote out the idea, entirely, and now I don't know what to do with it so I'm putting it here.

The Beginning

And in the beginning, there were blueish-grey cubes.

My Summer is Off to a Sluggish Start

The summer, it drains all motivation from me.

Website

Man, do I hate making websites a whole lot. It's been a couple years since I've touched HTML and CSS, and now I wish I had kept up with it.

Business type things

Update: Ok, I already hate what I have for this business card.

Went and got 100 of them printed, and not only did I find out that gradients look stupid when printed on paper, the blueish hue really turned into more of a purple.

So I think when I make a larger order soon, I'm going to go with this slightly different version:

The background is a flat color (although I should make that color even lighter/more blue to avoid the "purple problem") and I added some lines under my first and last names.

Bragging

So I know what I can blog about for now. I can brag!

There's a website called GameCareerGuide.com that is rather helpful for people in my field, and every three weeks or so they run a sort of contest.

Oh Boy

Oh Boy, do I need to get back into blogging! And boy do I need to fix up this site!
I mean, just look at that navigation bar over there to the right. You can't even read anything on it!

Well, there should be a lot more stuff on this site over the summer and beyond, because I'm going to be working on stuff all summer. And, you know, I'll also hopefully be working on things beyond that. But just one season at a time!

Anyway, promise there will be more soon.
