Hail and well met!

I'm doing a thing. It's taking a long time.

Status Update 🧵

With the winter waning and my ability to be productive returning to normal, I've been looking over most of the code in Tiny Tinkers.

It feels like I've been moving very slow until now. That's because the "AI" needs almost everything all at once. However...

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

I'm just going to throw this up here and give no context.

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

Have you ever wandered off into the woods, found that you just wanted to sit there, but the lack of people around and no internet access made it unsatisfying?

Okay, so you get on your bike, and... wait, you can only stay at places for two days at a time?

(Incoherent swearing)

This year's personal theme is:

Building!

I'm going to focus on creating, shaping, and refining everything I have into a well working, finely tuned, purposefully built machine and experience.

Nothing will hold me back.

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

I have been interviewed by CurseForge about Tinkers' Construct. Check it out.

Merry Christmas!

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

Nothing strange going on this weekend? Good. Time to post some game art.

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

Can we stop having historic events happening every few days please? I just want to post some artwork...

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

Hah, I tyoped is. Good one me.

...I'm just going to leave it.

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

I never thought I'd see this day. This es exciting. What can I do other than shout this out as far as I can?!

[Feed The Beast @FTB_Team]

@mindoth More sun = more stable sleep
More sleep = more concentration
More concentration = more work
Therefore less winter = more productive

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

That's so much better...

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

Some days... I question myself.

WAS TRYING TO SORT BY NAMESPACES TOO HARD TO ASK?!

*ahem*

This has been a long time coming. It's just a bit of technical debt, I swar

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

There's also the problem of doing it right. I still want to build multiple games and the underlying project needs to support that.

If the code is built well the first time, the next three games will be that much easier to make.

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

It's hard to build a castle if you're unsure how gravity works. A lot of what's left is minor or "AI", but most of it is the content that has slowly been building up on the side.

I've been developing mostly solo, with friends and family helping along the way.

It takes time.

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

Don't mind me, just doing some testing over here.

[mDiyo @Merdiwen]

Sometimes you just have to sit down and draw things out. The time it takes to put them on paper also gives you time to think about what's going on the page.
