JPS Grooves

Everything about this new game is screaming, “What are you doing?” I spent all day today in front of my computer and I am happy to report that I have a very real urge to play my guitar.

I like coding, it’s quiet and doesn’t really bother anyone. But it is also very sedentary. So? I went for a long walk in the snow.

Today was very productive, even if I am currently at a stopping point for the evening. The stopping point is the Rain and Snow I’ve been working on for the last few hours..It’s a mess..I think I actually had it perfect a long time ago lol..but I didn’t see that I had a button turned on and I think I screwed it all up..not really though. I’ll get it back.. I’m just tired rn…what I have, is rain, and no snow..I’m already thinking I could just go back to zero though…but nah…that’s fools thoughts. I am where I am rn. I’ll get it figured out..

The big thing that got done today was my artwork. clouds look so much better after today’s work and the mountains, stars, and moon do as well. I’m really starting to figure out my art style, and am glad to have found the smudge function in Affinity 2 on iPad. It’s helping me reach the Bob Ross level of blending that I was looking for. That alone was worth the time spent today. Just doing art. I love drawing, and that’s the biggest thing this app is doing for me rn, getting my drawing chops back into motion.

I’m making the game that I want to play, it’s just taking a while to get to the GAME part. I’m so obsessed with presentation that it is hard to look away when something is wrong. But, at the same time, the presentation is where I am at..I have characters moving about and ready to be told what to do, but I need to share in their excitement. I want to build the places and people of SnowCone MathFest Simulator. No Ai this time around! It’s all hand drawn!! Except the rain and snow, which if they keep acting up, I might have to make those as well..
