Emotive Hands, Life Indecisiveness

3 days ago 168 1
I'm back to working on stuff again, like animations for Dreamons. Also the same old indecisiveness about where my life is going...

Various Distractions

2 weeks ago 264 4
I've been unable to work for the past few days due to dogsitting, though I've been unusually social via phone calls with friends. Also: canine social networking, R-CPD as a possible explanation for my lifelong inability to burp and recent chest pain, an intriguing game called Cocoon, a film called Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, and Patreon porn profits.

Anime & Alienation & Creativity Forests Blossoming from Rare Single Seeds

3 weeks ago 367 4
I just learned that the creator of Dragon Ball (among other things), Akira Toriyama, just died, which is odd timing for me since I've been thinking about that... media franchise - or whatever you'd call it - and anime in general for the past few days...

A project I've hinted at for a while has finally manifested in some form! Though this is far from the first time I've made something like this...

1 month ago 847 13
I had the fifth session of the Counselling Skills course yesterday. I left before it ended, and I'm unsure whether or not to continue with the other 10 sessions.

Money, Kickstarter

I want to talk a bit about money again: how much I'm earning each month, and how the amount that other indie games raise on Kickstarter does convince me to give that a go.

Mario & FFVIII & Sora AI

1 month ago 309 1
Some rather brief (ha) thoughts about Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the Super Mario RPG Remake, Final Fantasy VIII, and a new video-generating AI called Sora. Those things are all related, right??

Looking Back at Memody: Sindrel Song

7 months ago 869 6
I recently replayed this eccentric 'musical memory game' I actually finished and released in 2019. Despite some fears that I'd cringe over concerns about its content, I ended up feeling mostly impressed and in some cases surprisingly emotional! It's such a shame so few people got to experience the most moving moments though due to the gameplay barrier in the way...

I spent this week revising Atonal Dreams to use the new elements, and I had the most productivity with and confidence about the project I've had in a long time!

Atonal Dreams: ~2 Years Of Progress

2 years ago 2,285 3
Atonal Dreams was meant as a short standalone prequel to a longer reimagining of the MARDEK story - itself a reworking of another project I'd started on earlier - which I intended to finish within six months to a year. It's been either about a year and a half, two years, or two years and four months since I started - depending on where the start is considered to be - and the finish line still seems distant. In this obnoxiously long, image-heavy post, I want to look back over the entire development journey, to see how the game has evolved each month.

Weekly Update - The Hows & Whys of Figmon

3 years ago 2,076 8
It's already September! How did THAT happen?? I've been working on Atonal Dreams for over a year... So much for the hope I could start and finish in 6 months like I did with Memody: Sindrel Song!

Looking Back at 2020

Well, we survived 2020 somehow! Or at least some of us did, myself surprisingly included. I've also been quite productive this year, so - as is my tradition - I shall look back on all the stuff I've made here!

Gasp! I've actually done something I talked about, and have released a bunch of my old music as an album on a new Alora Fane Bandcamp page!
