Man. What a year.

Feels like it's only been a few months since the last January 1st, but wouldn't you know it, 15 minutes from the time I'm posting this, it'll be 2025.


So, concerning Game Jolt, I suppose I could have done more. All progress and preparation, no releases. I've got tons of new ideas in store, and three games I plan to finish or start eventually. I'd say LittleGame is about 40% done, and once it's done it's back to Outcasts. No more excuses. I'm going to make some big changes to Outcasts and I'm even considering overhauling the ENTIRE GAME. I know, it's absurd, but if I do I'll be able to build it from the ground up way faster than the first time around.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

My own projects aside, lots has happened. I learned Undertale: Last Breath was being remastered, so that's cool, I guess. Didn't see that coming. My coding ability has gone through the roof since the beginning of the year (in which I may have still been making Puppet School 2 before I scrapped it. That's a strange thought), I got really passionate about digital art, learned a lot about drawing in general and I made a lot more music, started using FL Studio Mobile, all that jazz (music pun, haha).

Then I kinda drifted away from all my projects. I'd tell myself I was gonna work on Outcasts every day, then I'd just give up. The workload was so intimidating. Then, I discovered a certain @LinkIncGames, or rather they discovered me, and Outcasts. By happenstance I took a gander at their profile after they left a comment (and gave a shoutout! Thanks man) and now I've found I'm very invested in their current project, Lucid. Through this one account I found quite a few very talented developers and artists, and I gave Bandlab a try. Long story short, I wasn't very productive, but I found people who are!

By means I'm not to reveal just yet, I began to design LittleGame. I thought I'd turn away from Outcasts and make another, much simpler game, to renew my enthusiasm, and it's been great!

Anyways, thanks to everyone out there for inspiring me! Whether you've even given my account a second glance or if I simply found you and silently appreciated your work, thank you! You have played a part in my journey as a developer.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe it's corny, but I think it's only right I mention a few people who have been a huge help/inspiration in my time as a developer.

With the introduction to the game just about complete, and in celebration of my brother's birthday today, I've decided to do an open beta for Outcasts the next few days to anyone who's been keeping up or stumbles across the project.

Enjoy!

Made this weird sort of manga version of a drawing from earlier while I waited for Phasmophobia to update.

Just realized today that I never did anything for LittleGame's 1-year anniversary back in February.

I want to center the focus on my newer and upcoming work in terms of my profile, so I'll be unlisting a few of my old, broken, cringe projects and moving their links to this game page to clean up a bit.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Found this wildly unfair, completely broken point-and-click on my PC just now. I remember making it now, but I had completely forgotten about it for a while.
