After enjoying some vacation I am back. Working on getting my stream setup ready and upgraded my internet connection. Hopefully it gets done this week!

Just unboxed my new custom keyboard! 🎉 It's super silent and heavier than expected, but I love it. Perfect for work and home, though transporting it might be tricky. Still deciding on keycaps—OEM profile isn't my fave. Any suggestions? #KeyboardEnthusiast #CustomBuild

Plans changed! Had to revamp my streaming setup due to monitor issues. Unplugged everything, cleaned, and rearranged my desk. Now, the camera's in a good spot and the monitor's ready. Next up: configuring audio and running tests for top-notch quality. 🎥🔊 #StreamingSetup

What a week, and it's only Tuesday! Assembling my new workbench for 3D printing was a nightmare. The manual was unclear, parts mislabeled, and screws missing. I spent hours reassembling. One handle's still waiting for screws. I’ve earned a weekend already! 😅🔧 #DIYStruggles

Planning a cozy game dev stream but realized I need more prep! 🎮🎙️ Mic setup, YouTube channel, and audio checks are on my to-do list. Balancing stream quality and relaxation is key. Took yesterday to chill with Horizon Zero Dawn.
Stream soon! #GameDev #Streaming

Diving into custom keyboards has been a journey of optimizing my workspace for comfort and efficiency. From exploring different switches to tackling delivery challenges in Switzerland, it's all about finding the perfect fit.

At the moment, I am too busy to work on a game, but something in me wants to write again. I am switching my hobby back to writing books.

Do not underestimate learning Blender! It is fun, yes, but there is so much new stuff!
And yes I want to see at least partly every aspect of #GameDev

I just finished save & load mechanics and UI for my game prototype. Uff.... What an annoying thing to do in Godot... I really do not want to change the scene for each menu step.

Game pauses if you go to the menu, you can save and load. YEAH! Now I need just a bit more UI for choosing a save-slot aaand... I will alow myself to dive into blender for creating my first models! Exciting!

I really have to resist the urge to start with some graphic improvements! But it's hard! I want to make it look good!
But no, first, some XP distribution and level-ups. Then, I save/load screens, and THEN I am allowed to fiddle with some models in Blender.

A very fast forward blog post about my thinking process while I developed simple map generation with tiles for my game. Sometimes, the easiest solution is the first thought.

An interesting thing is happening here. PKM and productivity are interests that I will follow, but I do not want to tweet about them. GameDev seems more interesting for now because the journey can be told like a story and not what I picked here and there.

#DevJourney Managed to shoot a projectile at an enemy and refactored some code to make sure the responsibilities were clear in each script.
It is better to have multiple scripts than to have a BIG one and you have to search for whatever you wanna change in it!

Yesterday I wanted to create an "attack" for my game enemy. But my brain didn't want to work. But I changed the cursor to a cross if it hovers over it. Small steps win the game.

Even if I just play around, there is a basic level of "beautiful code" I want to maintain. With this drive, I learned how to implement a state machine in Godot and documented what I learned in a blog post.

I managed to get a small state machine working today. Now, the enemy starts chasing the player at a certain distance and knows when to stop too. It's satisfying to see code work out like this.

Just started playing around with Godot to develop a game. I don't promise to finish it, but I missed this kind of stuff. Creative work at my pace is great, and I really like the way Godot works. I'm curious where this journey leads me!

I love my systems and routines, but I must reconsider those things. I need increasingly more energy to sustain those routines, which never become habits. Sometimes, I feel like I am not a human. But energy will regenerate. It needs just a bit more time.
