A short post 2 weeks ago... I missed posting last week.... and now I gotta write a super fast one cuz I gotta go do errands in an hour?!?! I know, I know... I'm falling off hard. I've been busy, though! I'm still busy! HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO~~~

NEGATIVE REVERIE

More tile maps!!

I feel like every time I start a new room in the game, I spend about 2 hours or so just drawing, editing and setting up tiles in Godot. It's a full time job, frfr. I think the area I'm working on now (Public Security HQ) is looking pretty good, though. The layout of it is... well... pretty obviously RE2 Police Station inspired, hahaha. It's what I think of when I think "video game police station".

I tried to make the jail cell's adequately tiny. I feel like most video game prisons are hella big and only ever look like old timey jails or medieval dungeons. We got a proper modern lock-up, here.

Muscles' Office

I forget if I posted these stats last time, but I just ran my little python program that tells me how far I am through making all the tilemaps and here's what I got:

Keep in mind, I haven't plotted out 2 chapters of the game yet, so this completion percent is a little lower in actuality.

Here's a BIG DEAL, though! I finally took the time to implement PROPER PATHFINDING to the characters in the party. This way they don't get caught up on the walls and furniture and such. It adds a little work to every area in the game, but it's not AWFUL so I don't mind doing it.

Look at 'em navigate those rooms with ease!!

OTHER STUFF

I played a packed out show on Thursday with Button Masher. Got paid real good. Everyone danced. Basically a better show than a show on a Thursday has any right to be. Real proud of that one.

I also went to Fredricksburg, VA last Saturday to see some bands playing at an arcade and it was killer, indeed.
I... should have taken more pictures for this post, hahaha.

Besides travelling and playing music, I've also been hitting the Japanese study hard, working about 20 hours of overtime a week and starting to get my stuff ready to move in a few months. It's been crazy!

I also found time to do a silly Golden Week piece as well...

Get it?! DO YOU GET IT?!

UPCOMING SHOWS

ZAKU RETURNS TO PORCHFEST

Return of the Shred

Super excited about this one. It's free, so definitely come by and hang out! Also... it's a DAY TIME SHOW so you can actually see some good ass bands, get dinner, and get in bed before midnight. Sugoi.

OH GEEZ OUT OF TIME ALREADY

AAAA!!! I have to leave so soon so I'm gonna have to go ahead and sign off! Thank you for your patience with my scattered and scarce updates recently! Every week I say "This week is the week I'm gonna get SO MUCH DONE!", yet every week is the week my work says "We need you to come in on both your days off." hahaha. Such is life, eh?

Y'all be good this week!! Stoked to show you how the Public Security area is gonna turn out! Ok, bye bye bye!
