promeny

I went to church today. That was good; I talked with the pastor about a hangup I had about the last sermon and he basically said that it didn't apply to me. So I feel better now.

I've been playing a lot of indie games recently, trying to take notes about how I should design mine. I try to be original but sometimes you have to be aware of what kinds of styles other people use and like. I haven't given up on game creation at all, but I am sort of in a rut right now.

In any case I'm back into reading articles and stuff like that. I will probably start writing essays again soon, although it won't be as common since I'm sincerely trying to write articles now. I wonder if I will ever get published? Well, let us hope for that.

I'm doing okay; it is just sort of quiet on the intellectual front because I don't know enough to really write an article yet. Well, that isn't quite true; I do know what I want to talk about but I need to read more in order to "back up" my points. Fortunately there is only one thing to do, and I can do it.

I started working on another game recently. I usually do anyway, but this one seems to be able to become finished with due time. It will have more of a point to it than Mutos and there will actually be dialogue in the game. It is strange, I think, because I believe that a work of art simply reveals its point or message to you through imagery, and to attempt to do so will only lead to detraction from the original point. But I could be at least halfway wrong with that.

It snowed yesterday, and it is a bit cold out. But I'm not too bothered by that. Just evidence showing me that global warming isn't entirely a thing, at least here.

I played a Saturn game that I obtained recently last evening, but I didn't know how to play it. Well, read the manual.

In any case I'm just going to try to make something of myself, as usual. I will eventually.
