Begin (2024)

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...

Yamato Progress

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...

Expanding Kaiser Lore

One of the most annoying things about fleshing out these World War II inspired factions is that there isn't enough territory in the setting to go around. I mean we've got America, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, etcetera. There are only a handful of habitable worlds,...

It’s been getting dangerous in my neck of the woods, but I do appreciate the increased rainfall we’ve been getting. It’s not quite a shot in the arm when I’m too busy to sit back and enjoy it, but I really do appreciate it.

July’s done, so I’m going to quickly touch on a few plans for August.

Art Practice

I’m still at it and I’ll be posting whatever I can soon, possibly next week. The stylus and photoshop still aren’t meshing together as well as I’d like, but I’ve had worse problems, and if all else fails, I can just use the mouse for most things. It’s nothing new to me.

Lydia’s Golden Treasury

The plot for this one is outlined, so now I just need to find a few good days to sit down and focus on it. I’ll have it done this month one way or another. In fact, I’m going to be starting fairly early on this one. If I can I want to start writing and editing multiple chapters at a time so I can finish the story up before winter.

Artorius and Remnants

While I’m not sure I’m ready to have another go at either of these, I’m willing to give it a shot. The issue with Artorius is that it would work better as a visual novel, which is a much bigger project than the light novel I had in mind. Remnants is just dense with little details I need to sort out before I start so the plot doesn’t get ruined by something obvious.

Space Engineers

I’m not putting in as much time as I normally do, so the Hipper’s interior is going to take a while. Once that’s done, though, the sister ships won’t take nearly as long. Other designs I think I can iron out in August are the Cosmo Messer F, the Edinburgh, the Badger, and maybe, maybe the Hurricane.

Books

I’m still chipping away at Dune. As for the new book, I’m going to finish Spice & Wolf Volume 2. I’m not that far in so I’m fine going this route. Not to mention I’m still barely a third of the way through Dune.

Videos

I need more video editing practice, so I’ll post at least one new one this month. I’m aiming for two, but we’ll see how things go. It’s probably going to be a Space Engineers video, a showcase for either the Hipper (if it’s finished soon enough), or the Cosmo Messers.

Closing

That should be everything related to content. The new site’s still in the conceptual phases, so I won’t have anything to add there for a while, and I’ve got more important things to focus on besides. August–and let’s be real here, every month going forward–is going to be busy as hell.
