weebly

I got a weebly a loooong time ago, but haven't gotten around to publishing it. It was a site that I wanted to use to store all of my stories.

Completing this website is a pretty tall order. There's a lot of stuff on it that I need to flesh out, and I'm not really sure how to go about it. I think the issue is committing time to one story. There are so many that I get excited about, that I can't even choose.

I am pretty undisciplined, so maybe this'll be a good way to work on that.
Now, the hard part is making a decision. I have an independent study this upcoming semester, so I'm wondering if I should put all of my energy into that or work on something simultaneously with it... I guess, since I've never really finished anything, it'd be good to work on this independent study.

The goal is to practice level design, experiment with 3D texturing, improve my 3D modelling and animation skills, and utilize interactive objects and characters in Unity. The earlier I prepare for this project, the better chance I have in making a complete project. I just hope it's not too ambitious for a semester.

I had some ideas that I thought would be cool to make into a chill, 3D exploratory environment. I don't have proper titles for them, but..

Narcolepsy in Paris
Haunted nth dimension mansion
Quirky small town mystery

I don't want to do anything with too complex of a plot -- just something that has an interesting environment, charming characters, and some hint of a backstory that'll make the user curious enough to want to explore for answers. I also want it to look like an interactive comic/illustration. That'd be neat. Unfortunately, I can't come to a decision at this moment, so I'll just... give it some more thought today. Nothing wrong with that. I'll come back tomorrow and let you know if I've thought of anything or not. ;Y

When You Start to Notice How Cute Frogs Are

I stumbled upon some frog photos the other day. It got me inspired to do this:   Here are some preliminary sketches: Now I've just got to... actually do the thing. /nervous sweating I haven't forgotten about Godot or programming, either. I burned out pretty quickly, but I'm gonna try my best not to drop it.

nth dimension mansion - story brainstorming

It's been a while. This week was pretty slow -- difficult to get anything done because of, well, my laziness. Anyway, back to this project. First, let's set the mood with some music. I built this table all by myself. I went through hell and it didn't help that I smoked a couple cigarettes and didn't sleep for seven days. The cofee was too strong... The first time I heard this song, these lyrics caught my ear (is that a thing?) and I thought to myself "there's a story here". Looking at these words now, it actually looks so plain, but when I listened to the music it felt to me like this guy just hopped through different dimensions and endured more than his heart could take -- all for this dumb coffee table. But he's had so much coffee, he's wired and it did things to him. That coffee table was worth all of the horribly bizzarre things that he was dragged through. Maybe he was like "dude I gotta make a coffee table for this amazing

A Cool and Helpful Detour

I found this channel called Jabrils in my youtube recommendations, and through his channel, I found his series on basic code. It's pretty amazing! In a short afternoon I learned some C# and Python, and it wasn't intimidating at all. He does a really good job of explaining things. I thought it'd be helpful to watch his videos since GDscript, the language used in Godot, is based on Python, and I learned that C# is the language used in Unity. It was neat, because sure enough, I started to recall some of the stuff that I learned in the Godot tutorials. I had the context to better understand those concepts that I'd previously followed somewhat arbitrarily. I really like the way the course is set up, because once you take the initial coding tutorial, you can then pick and choose what videos you want to watch, based on whatever concepts you struggled with. It kind of reminds me of the tutorial/hint system in Romancing SaGa, if you'd humor me for a bit: If I recall corr
