Things have been pretty slow for December. Not only has M.A.S.S. Builder news more or less stopped completely since the 0.9.0 update, but I also haven't been able to make any headway on things. That's going to change with the schedule shift in my work; I'll have three...
I'm a day late on this one but I kind of just crashed yesterday right after work. I'm thinking of flipping my sleep schedule around to accommodate that post-work fatigue I'm always getting. It would also help me get more writing done. I don't know why, but I'm much,...
I had one last run in the old style of operations in Maya earlier today. They're taking away the 5 star format starting tomorrow so I wanted to get one last run in. It went well enough so I recorded it afterward, too. I won't spend too much time on it tomorrow but I...
It's only a couple of minor changes, but I'll try to go over them really quick. General In general I'm going to be quantifying my progress in whatever areas I can. That means that if I'm in a stage of an active project where I can gauge the work left to completion,...
"The drakes peeled off?" Lieutenant Rog couldn't credit something like that to the strength of the 203rd's formation. Even with his anti air in position, they didn't have enough firepower to completely repulse an airstrike. This formation was meant to keep the enemy...
I am definitely petering out for this month. I crashed for four and half hours and I have no idea why. It was pretty bad; I usually don't start falling asleep in my chair. Sniped by the sandman, I guess. Or maybe it was the ramen? That's new. It was definitely a...
Fleeing Victory #7 should be done by tomorrow since I’m making good progress on it, but I want to go ahead and confirm something I’ve been considering for a while now.
If you’re not interested in the plotting details for Fleeing Victory, you can go ahead and skip the rest of this post. There are no real spoilers below, but there will be fewer surprises if you read it, so fair warning.
I’ve decided to weave the military cast of characters (at the very least) together through a string of conflicts until we come just about full circle. By that point, we’ll reach the ‘in medias res’ point that the story was originally going to start from. The story’s called Fleeing Victory, and people do an awful lot of running away, but it’s really about desertion in the line of duty, for better or for worse.
I had every intention of starting with that, but then I actually got to writing and wanted to cover a whole lot more, so I will.
So for an extremely quick rundown:
All this is in practice is a really long prologue. The real challenge with Fleeing Victory is weaving everyone’s stories together after the bigger conflict starts. I have not tried something like this before, so I can only give it the old fashioned try and see how things turn out.
2023 ended weirdly abruptly for me, but I got the shot in the arm I needed in order to hit the ground running in 2024. This year's going to be absolutely crazy, but for me personally, I feel my worst years are finally behind me. I'm ready to stop drowning in a sea of...
This is a general update and not project specific. To start, I've been pretty sick the last couple of weeks. That nuked almost every end-of-the-year plan and goal I had for 2023, including the Yamato project. Even as I write this, I'm only just 'recovering.' There's...
Okay so the Cosmo Messers aren't 100% compatible with the Yamato, so I wanted to modify one to be close to spec. I somehow wound up making a full-blown Cosmo Falcon. There I go, makin' replicas again I also did some side by side comparisons on an old request and Good...
Oh my goodness ... well, things may have slowed down exponentially compared to the first 24 hours of working on this thing, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been major progress. Check this out. The exterior is nearly finished (minus coloring) The catapults work...
M.A.S.S. Builder - What’s Next 0.11.0 - Steam NewsFirst of all, before anything else, we must announce that we’re shifting our development engine to Unreal Engine 5 for the next version. Now now, we must ask that you don’t panic and assume the game is going into a...
Project Wingman - BETA BRANCH UPDATE #1: Platform Update 2.0 - Steam NewsProject Wingman Beta Branch Major Update This is big news, but it didn't show up in my feed until well over a week ago. Toss in how busy I am and I'm only now getting around to writing about it....
