Y'ever wonder why we're here?
It's one of life's greatest mysteries. It's one that drives me insane. This is to say that I am extremely mentally well.
I'm feeling a bit lazy today. So I'm not going to do a weekly writeup again.
Yes, I know I'm a day late. I'm the one writing the devlogs though, so suck it.
See, the issue with the past week is that I know for a fact that I'm almost certain I did a fair bit.
But more than any other week I feel like so far I've gotten very little reward from the amount of work I've done.
This isn't to say thta the past weeks were extremely rewarding, to be clear. I'm not making any money. I'm doing this shit for the insane love of the game.
But I did also get some amount of attention from my friends. This past week, it's really felt like it's only been my partner.
Objectively, I know that's not true.
There's like, at least two other people who do in fact also care. The issue is that it feels like I so often just get ignored or talked over instead.
It honestly kinda makes me desperate for the kind of attention that I got when I was thotposting back on Twitter, not going to lie. Sadly, my partner's room isn't the best setup to thotpost in. Never mind that I have a lot less of my thotgear to thotpost with.
Regardless, I'm going to keep moving forward. I've acquired some assets to cover up my weakest parts at the current moment: sound design and, surprisingly given my work as a texture artist, terrain art.
I think the issue is because I'm using Trenchbroom, I have to figure out how to sort of prepare textures in a way that work for it. Yes, my normal textures would just work. But it's at a lower quality than I've worked with for sorta generic atlas-esque textures than before, which scares me, so I'll temporarially avoid it if I can just find and acquire as-good PSX-inspired textures that do still fit the sort of era I'm aiming for instead.
I need to make a Discord server, though. I think. Or some Discord alternative. Somewhere where I can try to acquire brainrotted folks who'll gas me up when I need it. Or just a space with fellow game devs working on similar projects where it won't feel like I'm being annoying.
Later me issue. I want to try texturing my lopoly guns now. Peace.
