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. + +[remnants]: https://comics.nek0.eu/remnants/ +[masto]: https://chaos.social/@nek0
