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...
Uh ... yeah, I'm not sure why I started making this yesterday. I'll do 'inspired' builds, but I never attempt actual replicas. For some perspective, this is sixteen hours of work crammed into about a day and a half. It took me a year to get the Admiral Hipper slapped...
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,...
I’m spent. Nothing else is getting done today, and believe me, I tried. My mind is just spent after yesterday.
Results for November:
I nearly sabotaged myself with the Zavodia Map goal. When I updated the goals in a more recent post, I was focused on the mountain peaks, but the original goal was about the base terrain only, not the mountains. Since the original goal is what I count, not misinterpretations further down the line, this goal was met. It’s just too bad the base terrain was never supposed to look pretty on its own.
It’s funny nearly writing off a goal and then realizing you already did it. I’ll try to get a map update this week once I’m further along.
Where I completely dropped the ball was with Aeon’s Economic Research. There wasn’t even a modest attempt to cover that one this month. Going forward I’m considering not having more than four separate goals lined up. There are four weeks and some change in a month, so four unique goals makes the most sense to me.
I got close to outlining Artorius but with the way the story was set up initially, there are a lot of events that can be shuffled around all over the place. Settling on a specific order when I wasn’t planning on getting back to writing the story this month wasn’t the best idea. More over, Aeon’s Economy and the Artorius story are closely related. There was enough overlap due to the story that not finishing one was going to hamper the other. At least with Frame Ops, the way the Jovian economy functions doesn’t directly impact anything, at least not noticeably. With Artorius, the economy is in your face. That’s part of the reason I made it one of my November goals. I need to rethink that one.
With that, it’s time for the next list.
Goals for December:
That’s all for now.
