+Heya!
+
+It's been a long time since I posted anything here, which by no means is the
+end of this blog or my art journey. Instead I am preparing my next steps while
+going through some changes in my life.
+
+I reached a turning point in life with the end of my apprenticeship as IT
+specialist for applications development and got transitioned into a job almost
+instantly. To get settled in with the job, company, commute and everything else
+that comes with it I gave myself four weeks, which are now coming to an end.
+
+The other point is my preparation for something bigger. For the past year I
+have been developing story and characters for a series of comics if gradually
+increasing intensity. This takes up quite a bit of my free time I would usually
+spend drawing or pursuing my other hobbies where I instead write my script or
+devour tutorial after tutorial on how to publish webcomics. And lastly I'm
+drawing drawing reference material for said comics, which I don't really want
+to publish right now, as it might contain spoilers.
+
+Also my game development projects came to a halt in that time. In that little
+time I spent with it I started remodeling the physics "engine" I wrote to a
+be based on forces applied to objects and calculated to accelerations,
+velocities and movement instead of the other way round. I'm also using some good
+literature on that topic: ["Physics for game developers"][pfgd] by Brian
+Bywalec and David Bourg, which I found to be a good introductory book into the
+topic which transitions into more advanced topics rather nicely.
+
+So in conclusion: yes, I am still out here, drawing and plotting. Expect to get
+nice things to look at. I sincerely hope it will be rather sooner than later.
