Busy day

How long will I be able to manage updating daily like this? I don't know! I'm excited to find out.

Started working hard on that Farming Game tutorial I mentioned the last post. It's... not a very good tutorial, tbh. It's more of a step-by-step that doesn't explain the why of things, and sometimes the tutor spends too much time on things that are easy and then rush through things that are hard. I have also realized that the game we're making lacks several features I really like in farming games and would be interested to reproduce, such as scene changes (so you go inside your house, it's a different screen) and affection/romance. I don't even think there will be a quest system. It... sounds really limited, actually!

But that's OK! I'm still learning a lot, and then there will be other ways to learn how to do all these other things. First I will make a "tutorial game" as I call it, and that will be called... Mice Life :D

I did 6hr of the tutorial today, including writing detailed notes for later, which amounted to... one hour of the video itself :D I also did 4hr of "sysadmin maintenance" where I had a look at some old laptops we've been given to see if anything can be done with them. I'd love to have my own server so I can host my own git repo's! I don't want to be prisoner of GitHub!

Now it's late and I'm tired. Hopefully tomorrow I can take a walk (the weather was dreadful today) and maybe paint? Maybe catch up with my brother, who's visiting us for the holidays? Ah, but he always eludes me, I don't think he actually wants to spend time with me... which makes me sad! But it's OK! I love him and I know he loves me, even if it's from a distance. Anyway. Don't want to make myself sad before bed!

Tomorrow is another day! Toodles!
