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...

I’m probably going to wrap this one up tomorrow and then immediately hop into Dune. It’s been a fun ride revisiting the Thrawn Trilogy. Now I just need to find good deals on the sequel duology.
Also, somewhere in all of this I need to figure out how I’m going to tackle A Throne of Bones. That book is big enough to use as a literal weapon. Effectively.
There’s no chance I’ll be able to have the draft finished before July, but shortly afterward is still possible. I’ll be trying to get it done before Independence Day at the latest.
Right now there’s something missing from Chapter 2 and I’m not sure what it is, but it’s really strangling my progress (on top of all the other things tugging at my attention). I’ll figure it out soon or try to incorporate it later on.
For now I just know I don’t have the momentum I need to knock it out in the next few days, and something else is bound to come up. I tend to work best in the mornings–assuming I sleep well, so maybe after I fix my sleep schedule I can course correct on this and a few other things.
Either way, I’m pushing my deadline to July 4th. Let’s do this.
I’ve been bouncing all over the place and not even thinking about the Cosmo Messer. I’ve got enough time to do that still, so I’m going to finagle together a thumbnail and fire that off into the aether.
I can probably fit this into a faction under a different name while still keeping its overall appearance, but I’m not ready to commit to that just yet. There are just too many other things that are more important. More over, I don’t even know what type of ship I want this to be. Probably not a battlecruiser. A carrier seems nice, but I don’t have a new fighter design for it to carry …
Situation’s not ideal.
Speaking of more important things, the Kongo definitely fits the bill. The Kongo is a rebuild of one of Sundae’s ships (the Himekami) that I’m using to test the overall design aesthetic of one of the factions. This may be a higher priority than the Xebon, but it’s a lower priority than any other Space Engineers projects. It will get a progress bar pretty soon though.
I only mentioned the things that are relevant to my ‘listed’ projects. There’s plenty to do that’s unlisted (and probably shouldn’t be). It’s a lot, and there’s no use hoping I’ll reach equilibrium naturally. I’m going to have to quickly finish up some things, solidify my schedule, and kick everything else to the curb.

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...
