Weekly Update - Getting Back into the Habit

2 years ago394 words

Nothing much to report this week, but I want to get back into the habit of posting these every weekend, so...!

I already posted earlier in the week, and nothing's really changed since then, but keeping a schedule is important and I've fallen out of that habit lately. Hopefully this is the start of a new run of relative reliability.

I wasn't able to focus on Atonal Dreams or my side project thing this week, despite trying. So that was frustrating. I haven't been feeling as bad, really, just... struggling to focus, or to get back on the horse after falling off, because it's easier to just distract myself by drawing pictures with my finger in the sand. Something like that.

I spent much of the week waiting for a call regarding counselling... which I still haven't got, so I'll have to contact the doctor again on Monday. Also frustrating!

I didn't spend the entire week staring at a wall, though. I tried composing some music, and got really into it, finishing 8 short (~1 minute) pieces this week! I'm quite pleased with that. Too bad it's not something I could monetise. I wish I could produce something people would actually want to see that rapidly instead of making games that take months or years.



I also played a few hours of (the Switch version of) the remake/remaster/whatever of Crisis Core, which was apparently recently released? I never played the original, despite wanting to (I thought it was for the PSP or something, but Wikipedia says it was on the PS2, so why did I never get it?), and I'm intending to finally tackle the FFVII Remake soon so it made sense.

It's okay. Really anime-hammy, in a way that's made me laugh (at rather than with it) a few times and which makes me feel a bit better maybe about my own imperfect efforts, maybe. Graphically phenomenal though. I've rendered all battles completely trivial with moderate side-questing though, so that's a bit annoying. I know I could increase the difficulty setting.

I'd write more about it, but... eh. Can't be bothered, and I doubt anyone cares.

I'm not sure what exactly to do next week. It's tough to get back on track after being so completely thrown off. I suppose contacting the doctor again will be where I can start.
