Today I didn't do too much. But, I was really really exhausted and MEGA stressed from work so I am just proud of myself for doing what I did today. Work has just been rough the last two weeks. Ya know when you end up just stuck on a bug or a task and it just takes way too long. Frankly it was my mistakes in organization that made it stretch out too much. But anyway yeah the point is it's been stressful.
I made a decision that's pretty important lately: I decided this next game will use third party assets for artwork supplemented by work I do myself. I think frankly it will be faster. Not that I'm not interested in doing artwork myself, I am. I just think it would save time to find what I can that does work well that's already done (same as programming), and do what I have to myself. I might pick up modding or something in the mean time to practice drawing; it would be really cool eventually to do all the art myself. I would like to learn.
Anyway yeah so there's that, and then also I decided I'm going to use medieval England during the period where the Danes / Vikings were invading as inspiration. I just love The Last Kingdom and why not use it as inspiration.
Anyway today I took a stab at setting up the turn-based portion of the game but I realize it's gonna get a little complicated. Not something to work on when I'm three shots deep in alcohol at 9 pm. I think I'll wake up tomorrow and get at it.
I've been thinking lately, I really need to set hard times to do my work for gamedev. Or maybe I just need to get back to doing as much as I can get myself to do every day... well... the point is I need to get a system going again.
Alright. Later.
