It feels like this #June has lasted forever and a microsecond at the same time - it's been challenging, and fun, and sad, and healing and tasty!

And now, on to July!

As for #gamedev, #StarSpark progress was steady:

- I began playtesting and getting (really good) feedback from people.
- Input rebinding works with controllers and keyboards.

- The remaining character designs are in the works.
- Focus mode looks cooler and won't be called focus mode in the future.

#MonthlyRecap 2024-04

We saw #SixTheMusical! It was fun and had way more energy than I expected.

At work (#PlatoApp), we released a new competitive word finding game called #Wordbox.

For personal #gamedev, #StarSpark progress moved forward a bit with:

- Character perks
- Enemy AI combat improvements
- Turn executions flow better
- Combat now has a pause menu

It's still on track to be done by EOY 🤞

I also:
- Finished #FF7Rebirth
- Started playing #Balatro
- Started reading #DrStone

November #MonthlyRecap

I finished the #CouchTo5K program I was following and I'm still running for 30 minutes a few days a week.

I started playing #AlanWake2 and #DiceyDungeons.

I watched #ScottPilgrimTakesOff and started #Invincible Season 2.

I read the manga adaptation of #AllYouNeedIsKill and started #Kagurabachi.

For #GameDev, I began prototyping the main game mode after scrapping the original plan for it. Still a work in progress, but here's a peek:

September #MonthlyRecap

- #GameDev this month was working on some animations for my base sprite. Art isn't my forte, so I may start working with a pixel artist I know.

- I've started #running via the couch to 5k (#c25k) program.

- I went to #SantaMonica and #LosAngeles for the first time. This was a work trip, so I got to meet all my coworkers (all lovely people). We also went to #UniversalStudios. #MarioWorld was cool.

- My s/o and I saw #Wicked!

August #MonthlyRecap

#GameDev this month was mostly UI work and getting started on art.

I haven't made pixel art in a while, so I started with some small icons and a character base sprite that I'll use to build off of for the actual characters the game will have.

This little idle animation was fun to make!

Outside of that:

- I started "watching" (having on in the background to veg-out to) #BurnNotice again
- I've been reading #ImGladMyMomDied
- I started #ArmoredCore6
- I played #Vanquish
