"A year's worth of updates"

Hi there!
|
||
|
|
||
|
It's been a while -- almost a year -- since my last blog post. That's a little embarrassing for me
|
||
|
to be honest.
|
||
|
|
||
|
But I wasn't idle the whole time. [My webcomic][remnants] has been steadily growing since then. You
|
||
|
may read well into chapter 2 at the moment and I'm about to wrap up drawing the last panels of this
|
||
|
chapter so I can start preparing the chapter 3.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I also have other projects, as you may know. I'm still active in game development, where I started
|
||
|
writing a multiplayer game in Haskell last November and hope to finish it by December this year.
|
||
|
There are still my older Haskell gamedev projects around, but they are shelved at the moment.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Apart from Haskell gamedev, I also started dabbling in Rust gamedev and aim to create an adventure
|
||
|
game out of a story idea I initially had intended to work out as a comic.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Another nice thing I came to do around in the past year is taking piano lessons. It's has been 14
|
||
|
years since I had my last one and boy, am I rusty. I'm very glad the initial frustration has faded
|
||
|
quickly and I'm having fun learning new stuff again.
|
||
|
|
||
|
So I find ways to keep myself busy, as you can see. The projects are so many and tightly packed,
|
||
|
that I started blocking out time for them in a separate calendar some weeks ago. This serves the
|
||
|
purpose to answer the ubiquitous question "What am I going to do today?" and not being paralyzed by
|
||
|
the sheer amount of choices.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This allocation of my free time has worked quite well since I put it in place and it's nice seeing
|
||
|
the progress on the projects. I tend to procrastinate a lot less since then.
|
||
|
|
||
|
That's all for this update. I want to return to my old goal to post at least once a month here.
|
||
|
Additionally I want to make small weekly updates over on [Mastodon][masto].
|
||
|
|
||
|
So until then.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Keep calm and wash your paws.
