EverEnding DevBlog, July 2018: Journey
I always hate doing these updates where there’s not a lot of progress to report. The last couple of weeks in particular have been devoid of any progress on the project, or even any work on it – at first…

EverEnding DevBlog, July 2018: Structures
Another month has gone by, and though a short vacation, a nasty little cold, and a number of other minor distractions got in my way, I still managed to make a little bit of progress. First, and most importantly, I…
EverEnding DevBlog, June 2018: Revival
Well, I’m back to working on EverEnding. That side-project ended up being exactly what I didn’t want it to be, an excuse to work on a whole bunch of tools without ever making an actual game to go with them.…

EverEnding DevBlog, January 2018: Stalled
I’ve been procrastinating on writing this post, since it’s always galling to admit this: Very Little progress has been made on the project over the last month. This is not to say I haven’t been working on it – though…
Remains
Death is omnipresent in games, but they mostly don’t like to acknowledge that. Dying in games is just a way of keeping score, a nice easily understandable failure state, something to be avoided, not experienced. In life, death is omnipresent…
Slay the Spire
I have been spending the last 10 days or so playing way too much Slay the Spire. They say write what you know, and right now my brain knows nothing but the pleasures of building a badass deck to kill…
