Sick as a dog... in the head, doghead.

  Ugh. 

Putting in the manhours on this project is so boring... I'm just jiggling a few files around, hoping for the best.  I really have no idea what I'm doing, and that's because

SLEEP DISORDER

  But I swear I'm still working, Lok

PS:  A game on Steam came out, Ittle Dew...  Ya, they beat me to it.  But I'm too invested into this project to give up.  I WILL release, even if it ends up looking like it's ripping off everything, that's the price of being slow.

Busy - Also Animation is Hard

  I'm getting really good at drawing my little guys.  Even posing them.  But I wish there was a program to automate posing of 2D images.

  There probably even is one, but that's the kinda thing I'd never know about because no one tells me.  The number 1 answer is almost always "Get Flash", but they never answer why, what features, lol that price tag... you're insane, I'm not paying for that.

  Anyways:  The plot is coming along, simplified in some places and extended in others.  However, no amount of plot will make a difference if I can't design a good dungeon... or draw tiles... or get a good UI.

Hey - I Wrote a Song

  Finally, my creative fizzle is working. 

  Still, I have to find a way to transcribe music... it's currently written down on parchment in cuniformic chicken scratch and not in actual musical notation.

  But it works, the theme of Dwarf is good to go.

Animal Crossing New Leaf is Here

  This was the final competitor in my brain-sink.

  There's things I want to do in my game that are similar to Animal Crossing, but not exactly.  However, I'm trying to be novel above all so if there's any overlap I'd have to start over.

  The largest hurdle would have been either a new 2D Zelda game or a new Animal Crossing game as they have the most similarities to what I'm going for. 

  The new Animal Crossing is pretty good, but lucky for me it doesn't do what "I" am trying to do. 


That means...

Oh yeah!

   I'm going back to work!


Finally, Lok

It's fair to say I haven't been working

  Lots of games came out all at once that I really liked.  Not often do I get 500+ hours on a game anymore.

Also:  I suffered some minor corporate sabotage, my pile of game notes was partially destroyed by some cleaners.  And before I end up saying my dog ate my program, I did happen to also suffer some minor surgery and have to get some dental work done next week as well.

So, basically, I'm not getting anything done... period.

Ok, so where did I leave off?

I don't even remember what projects I was working on. 

Ok...  BRAINSHOCK!

As far as I can remember, I had the following projects:

1. Flippin' Hell:  My big baby, everything is going into this project.

Plot:  Real Estate adventure in the underworld, NOT a Webkinz clone.
Effort:  Honestly, I still haven't drawn up repeatable avatars for all the species yet

2. Sticky Baby: Side Project A, for learning platforming in Box2D

Plot: A alien/demon/microbe/whatever baby can stick to surfaces, cannons are involved
Effort: Box2D "looks" cool, but honestly is pretty sucky for mixed physics work.

3. No Turning Back: Side Project B, for learning advanced collisions

Plot: The world is being destroyed behind you, there's no turning back.
Effort:  -ZIP- I tried to do combat collisions one day and then said "F this, I'm going to McDonalds"

4. IDK

If I could remember what else I was working on, then that would mean I would have put in enough effort to care.  I don't want to annoy my cousin and what looks like 2 fans who are following this, so if you remember a project I was working on or happen to have one of my submitted betas, it'd be nice if you reminded me, 'cuz ...

Frankly...

500+ Hours of Monster Hunter will melt anyone's mind.

I swear I'm still trying, that's means not doing; Lok

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

  That is all.

Yes, I'm still working

 New year, new format.

Weekly/bimonthly posterity updates are ok, but now I'm just going to update when things actually happen.

Working, Lok
