Hey! Long time no post. I really need to post more, it's hard to believe it's been a year since my last blog. And well, it's been a crazy year at that. Got a part time job in IT, that's been going well, got contracted to build a website (actually getting paid for once), and I'm going back to school after a long hiatus. This year has had plenty of ups and downs, and there have been days I just want to quit my job and make a damn game instead of put up with the bullshit ya know? But for the most part I think it's good for me, working in IT at least. It has taught me things I might never have learned in school, or even working as a developer. I could do with a little less day to day stress however, which is pretty impossible to avoid in that field.

I wish I had more time to devote to personal projects, but such is life. I guess that's partially why I don't post very often here. I come online and feel bad because I don't do cool things anymore, work has consumed me. And I feel I can't contribute as much anymore, which I know is bullshit. I hope to post more often though, I can already think of a few topics I've been wanting to blog about.

This year I don't have any games to show off. Since my 64DSC entry, I have only worked on one puzzle game (an unfinished port) and started one project that didn't make it far beyond the 'engine' stage. I also started work on a lua library for console based graphics, but didn't thoroughly test or release it. Most of the software I've written this year have been scripts or web related.

I still find time for music, though now I do it to relax moreso than anything. My writing has gotten lazier, and my guitar playing sloppier, but I still enjoy it after a long day. I have a few tracks from the past months that are fairly complete, as well as some unfinished tracks that may be worth posting. I'll do a music blog when I get around to rendering them. In the meantime, I have a fresh render from this week that I think you should hear.

Thanks for tuning in! Until next blog, which should be within the next year, one can only hope…
