M.A.S.S. Builder - WIP: 0.11.0 New Armor Set Preview ZENITH Z - Steam NewsBack to another WIP update for the week! We’re featuring the final variant of the new armor set Zenith, the Z variant. For this one, we wanted to emphasize the sharp, pointy, and oversized parts...
I've been distracted as all get out so here's a three parter. Having said that, I think once M.A.S.S. Builder releases either 0.11.0 or 0.12.0 I'm going to stop writing about the news itself unless it's particularly important. I want to make another shift since half...
M.A.S.S. Builder - WIP 0.11.0 Tentative Balance Changes - Steam NewsWith weeks of new things being shown, we’d like to dial back to some balance changes we’re planning to make to improve the game in 0.11.0. With weeks of new things being shown, we'd like to dial back...
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...

First, a quick review of January.
Could be worse, but I’m surprised more by what did work out than what didn’t. Onto February.
For this month I’m lightening up in some areas and increasing the load in others. LGT’s my top priority, so I want to get things moving on all fronts, not just the chapter write ups. Also, I think going back and making those edits will help keep me in the right headspace. The new chapters should come out better for it.
Next, there’s the extension I gave myself for Chapter 5 to address. February 3rd was a reasonable deadline for finishing a 1st draft, but the quality would have been abysmal with that kind of last minute chronology correction I pulled on myself. I’m not turning this into an editor to clean things up for me–I’m my editor. I’d just wind up rewriting the whole thing anyway, so I’m just taking the L for January. 1st drafts for both Chapter 5 and 6 are now due by the end of February.
The editing sessions I used to do were one session per scene with an extra one for that chapter’s song. Sticking to that format, meeting the goal for this month should take six sessions. I thought about shrinking that number and doing multiple scenes, but some are really long and I don’t want these to get too bulky.
So far I like the style and pacing I used with FV1, so I’ll try to keep that going in FV2. It should be a two part chapter like the first, but I’m not making that a rule or anything. Sometimes three is going to make more sense, so I’ll do whatever feels right.
I haven’t chosen a novel for February yet. I’ve got a few days so I’ll check around.
Some things I plan to work on in February but left out of the goals list (to keep my priorities straight) include that FnF article I was working on, a Space Engineers Workshop upload, a M.A.S.S. Builder related project, at least one WoWs Clip video, and some ‘art’ related things. I’ll have more details on those later this month.

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...
