Who am I kidding, what is a month anymore?
Game Jam Site
It’s working! I love PHP. The codebase can be found here and is open to contribs. I’ll see if I can run something soon.
A Lot Of Server Maintanence
I did a fuckton of work on my intranet over summer. More services, better infra, I’m even proxying a friend’s minecraft server. It’s good to homelab, people.
Writing
Blog
Ok so all of this serious writing on the blog has sorta been killing any motivation to actually work on it. It’s all fed by spite, and generally not fun. I’ll try to finish what I’ve been working on eventually, but not at the expense of actually enjoying working on this site.
Poems
To that end, I’m releasing a collection of poems I wrote over the summer. You can read them here.
Games
The Hex
Daniel Mullins is a certified mad lad. I was already a fan of inscryption, but The Hex was a different beast. Mullins has a streak for metanarratives and ARGs which is simply delightful, but The Hex really speaks for itself on top of the metanarrative, which is key. I quite enjoyed its comments on the design process and what has come to be mullins’ signature personification of game characters, and consider The Hex to be criminally underrated as compared to inscryption (which is a gem itself).
Regardless, I would recommend you keep an eye on his next game pony island panda circus, as it’s sure to be a doozy.
Big Walk
Big walk is the fucking shit. S tier game design. This is a masterclass in multiplayer design, and exactly the vibes I want for cabin game. Grab some friends and play it now. If you’re an IRL friend and want to play, hit me up. I have a game going, every Sunday at 8:00 PM. Pull up.
Retrospective
Rough times. I got pretty sick, and had to cancel a game jam a couple days in. School is busy, and god remains dead.
Plans
Game Jam site work. I want to do some zine migration/ construction. Maybe an actual game jam. TTRPG work.
Conclusion
No tengo mucho de decir. Tengo sueño pero voy a hacer tarea y PHP. Adios.
