Going Viral
I got zero works done this week due to being sick. Sorry no words today. Here is the now-traditional consolation music: I’m going to be traveling next week so I might not be able to write then either, but I’ll…
EverEnding DevBlog 142: Grind Down
Well I seem to be sick, so that’s not helping any with getting stuff done. Nevertheless, I have all of the player attacks working properly and the test enemy attack working. Both need a bit of polish: Some collisions seem…
Passing Time
In 1995 when Chrono Trigger came out, I would have just turned 12. I stayed up through the Summer nights of Sacramento, playing until 5 in the morning on the cracked naugahyde couch in my dad’s living room. 20 years…
EverEnding DevBlog 141: Anonymity
This was not my most productive week. Between a heatwave and a charity game speedrunning marathon, I found it very easy to become distracted and very difficult to maintain focus – wait, those mean the same thing. So you see…

So apparently slow weeks with only moderate productivity are just kind of where I’m at right now. I’m comfortable blaming that on Summer, at least partially. At this point I’ve started settling with just getting a few frames of animation…
Myself
We aren’t ourselves, really. Over our lives, a persona is constructed around us. For some of us, that role fits us well, and for others less so. Sometimes the gender doesn’t match. Sometimes we don’t really want the things we’re…
EverEnding DevBlog 138: Turnaround
Another slow week, primarily working on animation stuff. Most of the animation work wasn’t very good either, but eh once I create it it becomes easier to make it good, so still progress. Added turning animation to the walk cycle.…
