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. + +[pfgd]: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/physics-for-game/9781449361037/
