A Week Later: The Responses to DO THE THING (have been awesome)
So it's been just over a week since I initially conceived and released DO THE THING. And I've been honestly thrilled with the responses and feedback I've received so far. I had no idea if anyone else....

Progress on my isometric tactics game #Ilisia. Refining spell casting - individual spell AoEs can now require their own LoS checks from spell_target (center of AoE to each AoE cell).
Placeholder castle mesh.

Cognitive symptoms post-concussion have lessened. I can focus and organize more complex thoughts, like planning code. Too much still exacerbates the endless headaches.
Still way overstimulated by light and sound, and my left hand is what I can only describe as "glitchy". But at least I'm healing.

That's it! I've quit my job. I'm again fully committed to #Archrebel, resuming my full-time gamedev career.
For all those who have supported the project, even if just with a like or retweet, my heartfelt gratitude; have a fantastic new year! 🍻

Every year, my partner and I watch The Muppet Christmas Carol. And this year we found the uncut version with all the songs.
Michael Caine is stellar. The composure required to graciously and solemnly accept a child-sized scarf from Beaker without breaking into uncontrollable giggles is admirable.

Since my concussion, coding (and other mentally intensive tasks) makes me dizzy and my head hurt. This is fun.

Rolled a 1 trying to install a door.
On the plus side, I now know what it's like to be clubbed in the back of the head. This is great if I ever need to describe it.
The downside is that I have a concussion and now it's like the worst of my ADHD has been cranked up to 11 (with bonus headaches!).

I've reached the point where scenes are complex enough that there is noticeable lag when things are loading on the main thread.
Thankfully my Loader class from a previous project is still working smoothly. Which was honestly a surprise.
Time to make a loading screen, I guess.

Satisfactory is also why I've made very little progress on anything for the past few weeks.
But after ~300 hours and only 1/4 of the map uncovered, I'm looking forward to the next time Satisfactory hyperfocus comes around.

Satisfactory is great. Just finished Phase 5 on my first run.
Optimizing throughput and material usage to maximize efficiency is fun. Machines make very rhythmic noises I find relaxing.
And the world environment is the most gorgeous and fun to explore places in video games I've ever seen.

I've been playing so much Satisfactory recently that I'm seeing conveyors in my dreams.
Jetpacking around like a little bird within the giant cogs of my factories, listening to relaxing rhythmic thumping of my machines, everything running like clockwork.
Makes my autism happy.

I don't believe that NPCs or dialog are somehow INCOMPATIBLE with Metroid games on some fundamental, immutable level.
But it doesn't help that no Metroid game in history has EVER had good dialog or a single worthwhile NPC

I decided to practice drawing more detailed animations a little.
It's fun, but very time-consuming 🥴
