Weekly Update - Wondering About Dreamons Again, As A Pokemon Clone?
2 years ago1,775 words
While waiting on mental health treatment to prepare myself for putting myself out into online communities to promote Atonal Dreams, I've been wondering whether to work on Dreamons as a single-player Pokemon clone you can start a game of and just play within minutes without investing into some grand story...

Porting Old Flash Games... For Real This Time!?! AFC, CBC, etc
2 years ago1,898 words
I've written about porting my old Flash games several times in the past, but nothing ever comes of it. Will the intention actually bear fruit this time?? I've just got a port of AFC working, so...!

Weekly Update - Should I Combine Elements And Runes Or Not?!?
2 years ago1,824 words
Inspiration is a double-edged sword! Should a seemingly good, new idea be pursued if it'd require some steps back to do so? Or should the current path be doggedly stuck to because that's the only way to reach the end??

Depression Spike; AFC Remake, kind of?
3 years ago2,197 words
I've been very bad mentally these past few days! I want to distract myself by writing out another possible side project idea: a remake of sorts of Alora Fane: Creation, in which you can build your own little quests for others to play...

It only took about seven months to get around to putting it on Bandcamp, but here's the Original SoundTrack to yet another game I didn't finish!

Weekly Update - The Hows & Whys of Figmon
3 years ago2,724 words
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!

Weekly Update - Celestot, Bridove, Mementomes, Lore
3 years ago1,398 words
I did a lot this week! I made two new monsters, came up with an idea - mementomes - that solves some uncertainties, and improved the Lore section!

WeeklyUpdate - It's a long process, Psychepelagos
3 years ago2,243 words
I mostly finished the intro I was working on, but it's not what I want it to be! I've come up with some revisions though which should make for a better world and story...

Weekly Update - Damage Formula, Nocturnes & Diurnes
4 years ago - Edited 4 years ago2,623 words
I've mostly been doing cleanup/tweaks this week, polishing, trying to get the game to a point where I can show the early section to some alpha testers, but everything takes a long time! While tidying up some gameplay mechanics, I made a change to how the 'arousal' stat works, which I want to talk about here. Also, another music album!

End of Year Plans: Old Games, Music Albums, AFC+Belief?
4 years ago - Edited 4 years ago3,737 words
I'm going to spend the end of the year focusing on things other than Atonal Dreams, to refresh my energy for it and my mind in general. There are three things I could work on: putting old games up somewhere (probably itch.io), releasing soundtracks of all the music I've ever composed, and maybe even starting work on a secondary game which combines Alora Fane: Creation and Belief, sort of!

Re-thinking Re-releasing Old Games? AFC Remake?
4 years ago - Edited 4 years ago1,715 words
Almost exactly a year ago (wow, feels like way longer), I wrote ∞ a post ∞ about re-releasing a bunch of my old games. I managed to get ∞ MARDEK on Steam ∞ a few months ago, though I've been so focused on making my newest game that I forgot all about re-releasing the old ones. It's on my mind again, though...

MARDEK vs Taming Dreams
5 years ago3,086 words
I played MARDEK yesterday, for the first time in years... and Taming Dreams, as well. I recorded the full gameplay of the chapter 1 sections (the fantasy sequence, the hometown, then the woods and meeting Rohoph) as looooong videos, and it's interesting comparing them directly. You've got time to watch 4 hours of video, right??

Looking Back at 2018
6 years ago5,113 words
So, now that the 2018th year since our Lord Jesus Christ hatched from his egg is gasping out its final breaths, I feel the compulsion to have a look at exactly how I've wasted this period of my life that I'll never get back. I graduated from university (and made it through alive, to my surprise), I had brain surgery for a cancerous tumour (and made it through alive, to my surprise), and I did a bunch of creative stuff but never actually finished or released anything (and made it through alive, to the absolute shock of everyone). That's... something?

Radiation, Game Idea, Etc
6 years ago4,030 words
I feel terrible still, but here's some disjointed rambling about my upcoming radiotherapy, the previous post's comments, Toby Fox, and ideas for a game I might make about a consciousness researcher exploring the afterlife.

This Creative Path, But Should I Be Walking Down It?
6 years ago3,600 words
Here's a video of Zaffre and Cerise talking, showing the kind of format I've been intending to use to tell the Taming Dreams story. I'm so unsure about whether it's worth doing, though... Am I naive? Is this childish? Would it only lead to my destruction even if it did one day work out?

The Journey So Far, and The Future - Taming Dreams??
6 years ago4,648 words
After doing a whole lot of reflecting about the creative journey that I've been on over the years (which I briefly summarise here), I'm planning to return to Taming Dreams, but as a regularly-updating story told through 3D conversations rather than as a game.
