Trying to get some stuff done before my little vacation but been a bit sick the last three weeks or so. I got bronchitis or pneumonia, got a cold and was feeling better for a while then it got worse again and had a horrible stabbing pain in my lungs and was coughing up bloodish colored mucus. Went to a doctor and they just gave me some cough medicine. Well the pain did go away and I am mostly feeling better but still have a bit of a cough that just wont go away, since there is still a bunch of mucus in my lungs.

So I got distracted again, because summer break and I got kids over all day annoying me(even though none of them are my kids!). Well that is over, so I am not as distracted anymore.

Well annoying kids distracting me all day aside, I feel like I have been in kind of a funk for a while anyway. Since probably early last year when I moved and things were a bit rough. So I am planning on taking a vacation in October. It is actually probably my first real vacation as an adult and I am going overseas. I mean I have had time off before, but mostly just staying at home and staying home isn’t that relaxing. This is my first time going overseas and the entire purpose of the trip is to just go have some fun.

I have two entire games that are almost done. Like two serious games with a lot of content and story and stuff. I want to try to get them both out before October if possible. However, I plan on working a bunch on games when I get back from my trip. So that will either be finishing those games, or updating other stuff if I finish them early. So expect some big updates either before October or near the end of October(will be gone first two weeks of October).

Today is my birthday! No game updates today since I am taking a bit of a break, though I was working on a different new game that I got kind of far into it. Hopefully I can get a big game post by the end of the month or early next month.

I keep getting delayed with stuff though. I wonder if I might end up just getting motivated some day and posting like 5 games in a single day, if I can get them all wrapped up.

So I am a bit delayed on the stuff I wanted to finish last month, but since it is April Fool’s day I figured I should do something, so finished a little game I had worked on before but never finished.

There is nothing April fools about it but the game is on the short side and has 7 different endings that are all pretty easy to get. Just a little something until I get the other stuff finished.

Enjoy being turned into a demonic flower!

Sorry about the lack of updates, especially when I said I was almost finished with a new game. I hit the problem with twine and I kind of lost all motivation for a bit. I did figure out how to fix the problem I was having but I realized several passages in twine were missing, so I would have to go to an old copy of the game and manually transfer those passages. Which is a huge pain when there is 100’s of passages, plus the old copy of the game is insanely slow with a ton of lag(which is why I was modifying the game in the first place to fix the lag so I could work on the game, which resulted in some of the passages getting lost when I had to chop the game up into several separate files), which makes it a real pain.

I definitely learned my lesson on doing far better organization since the time when I started into the dungeon. Any way, I kind of feel like I might be suffering from a bit of depression, which made me even more distracted and less motivated to focus on finishing things than normal. I do want to get those things finished though and put out the updates, so I will work hard and getting out the updates I promised this month.

Even feeling kind of meh, I do still work on games every day, it is just a matter of it is productive work or writing random scene ideas I get, or working on random games that don’t go any where(there are 725 files in my twine folder!). So I will try to focus on getting the stuff done and get those updates out.

I wanted to post an update to Into the dungeon today for New Years, but I kind of broke twine so I can’t open any of the files for the game. When I figure out how to fix it so I can open the files again, I will post the update. I also got a new game I am working on that is almost finished. I suspect to put that game up in a few days.

The schedule kind of worked but still been spending a ton of times with the kids! However they go back to school this Monday, and that will give me a lot more time. Going to use all that extra time to try to get a lot done.

I am a bit behind on my plans, because when I moved I ended up moving a lot closer to my sister and some how I got roped into baby sitting for my niece and nephew a bunch, while they are on summer vacation. She and her husband work all day(when they are usually in school), so they need the help.

I also realize that my schedule is a huge mess right now, so I created a weekly schedule, of everything I got to do in my life, including time for working on games. I am going to try sticking to my schedule from now on, so hopefully I can ensure that everything that needs to get done gets done, and can avoid getting distracted by random stuff. I feel like I have not been getting much done lately, and there always some excuse for that, though hopefully I can get rid of all those excuses and get everything fixed with a schedule.

I got 15 hours of working on games this week scheduled. Half for into the dungeon and half for all girls are sluts, with two hours swing time to work on either one or one of the smaller games. I honestly don’t pay attention too much on how much time I am spending on working on games either, so this will give me a better idea of how much game content gets produced per hour of work. That way I can also get a better idea for planning stuff. So I am not going to promise an update this week but I will promise 15 hours of work on the games this week! That is guaranteed!

On a side note, I also stuck more time to work out because I am very bad at exercising, some time every day to study Japanese which I been wanting to learn, and some time to work on my novel I wrote during the November writing month thing(which is still in a very rough draft). Got all that to fit, even with the babysitting stuff(which takes a surprising large chunk of my time until summer is over).

My Birthday was in May, and I also have moved out of my old place into a new one, so was pretty busy with stuff. Got a little bit done here and there, though no major updates. Definitely need to get more stuff done this month. Been in a bit of a funk the last few months, with stuff constantly popping up to distract me.

Over the last few months I have also been working on two small games as well. I know I have a bad habit of getting distracted with new games, but these are just small things I wrote random scenes for, now and then just so I am writing a little bit every day even if I don’t really have time to push forward on a larger project. They actually got a decent amount of content, but since I just wrote the random scenes, they are not really structured right for a game. I also have a third small game I was working on that was more organized, just didn’t get the ending too, and that was a game I was working on last year.

So maybe I will finish up one of these small side projects this month as bonus, as well as try to get a update to one of the bigger projects in.

Been a bit slow getting the updates out recently, but I am going to try to improve that. Got to up my focus! I got a new update for are all girls sluts, which basically completes all the starting quests you might randomly get from making your character. Though a few have follow up quests meant to continue on the next part of the game, which will be the afternoon level.

I have also been working on into the dungeon, but I still want to get more content before releasing an update, since playing through the entire game just to get to a few things here or there, seems a bit painful. Since there is a lot of branching paths, I might add a lot but each individual path might only get a small update. So I want to get all the paths to a decent place before putting that out. Currently the path splits to two major arcs, either going to the demon city within the dungeon or heading back to the human city outside the dungeon.
