It’s late and I’m listening to the second episode of I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats, which might be my new favourite podcast. I get through a lot of podcasts. Tried on a couple of leather jackets today, and didn’t particularly like either of them; one too large and one too small (which was…

Took the cat to the vet for his yearly checkup and booster shots. He’s doing fine, and still charming around strangers. In fact, to quote the vet, “he’s so handsome he doesn’t even have to try, does he?” He’s a good boy. When I got in, I spent a little time on BotLG — the…

I’m back on my Vaporwave vs Outrun bullshit again (I’ve discussed ~aesthetics~ on this blog once before), thanks to Pinkas: I don’t know why but the YouTube algorithm brought this vaporwave classic video back onto my home page, so of course I ended up watching it again. While I was watching, I made some notes…

Had my regularly scheduled fortnightly evening with Simon, my friend and official BotLG playtester, explorer and rubber duck. Like me, Simon is a professional web developer and video game enthusiast, so it’s always good to get his opinion and have a second set of eyes look things over. As usual, he left me with a…

Had a bit of a tough day today. I woke up late, felt rough, and for the first time in a while wondered if all the effort I’ve put into BotLG was worth it. I played around with the display of items, so now they have their icon next to their name wherever they appear,…

I said yesterday that I was going to be busy today, and unlikely to get any game development done; that turned out not be entirely true. I was busy. I spent most of the day with my stepfather helping out with some DIY — planing and rehanging doors, putting up shelves, drinking coffee — that…

I’ve had a very productive day of coding today, most of which is covered in a post I published earlier and the changelog, so I’m not going to repeat myself here. Suffice it to say, dungeon generation is looking good, and I’m happy to have a few more recipes and skills implemented. Instead I’m going…

Made a start on the Monster Hunter World expansion, Iceborne, this afternoon. Not only do I enjoy the puzzle of figuring out each new monster (I just beat Beotodus and Banbaro, and tracked down a Viper Tobi-Kadachi), but the central farming – crafting – upgrading cycle is a source of inspiration. I also played a…

Inspired by the prolific bloggers I admire, and my purchase today of The Developer’s Guide to Content Creation, I’ve decided to try and blog here a little more frequently. I’m going to be marking all of these posts as asides and putting them in their own category, to separate them a bit from the regular…
