Another example of what I’ve been working on through this Zenva Unity course.  It’s Frogger...but I used a Spider so I’m calling it Spoder.

I’ll give everyone something more exciting than text this week.  This week’s Zenva course was making Pong that could be played by 2 people.  Such excite, very excite?

I mean I’m learning, so that’s good.

It’s been a while since I caught everyone up, so let’s do that again.

-Comic Tea Party is going to be getting a version that’s a week long.  My hope with this addition is that people in bad times zones for Thursday can join and that people get another opportunity to have their comic spotlighted.  However, it’s obviously a big change with lots of back end work, so I’ve been stressing and working on that.

-Rebel of All Trades has been continuing, although I’ve made the decision to drop lit analysis posts after this coming week.  This is in an effort to make myself a bit more time for fiction writing.

-I’ve been continuing to do those Unity courses I’ve mentioned last week.  Nothing to report on that front other than I learned how to magically detect screen size and stop a ship from traveling off to its doom.

-Other than these, I’ve actually been trying to rework my priorities and schedule a bit more.  I’ve been in a bit of a funk feeling sorry for myself and the whole “what’s the use spiel.”  Usually when that happens it means I’m overdue for a rehashing of my priorities so I can make sure I keep working on projects I’m passionate about.  Changing the schedule is a bit difficult, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel where this is concerned.

So with School of Zenterianexius out, you may be asking, Rebel, what’s next?  Or ya know, you don’t care and are here for some reason, but whatever.  I’m gonna catch you up on all my projects and stuff I’ve been doing the last month or two with SoZ being released.

-As per usual, I’ve been hosting Comic Tea Party.  I made the decision a few months ago to move CTP to its own Discord server, so I spent a lot of August setting all that up, getting bots to work, and so forth.  The move was made at the beginning of this month.  New things are coming on that front hopefully, but another part of the move involved redoing the website.  It’s not the best persay, but I like how it turned out for what I’m able to do in regards to my own skills and Tumblr site limitations.

-Still just running my blog, Rebel of All Trades.  Nothing new there, other than my webcomic reviews have moved there now with the shut down of StArt Faire.

-Working on writing stuff, none of which I want to reveal.  Suffice to say my fingers are sore from writing intensely.  And my brain is sore from thinking intensely.

-Game wise I’ve been prepping for my next game.  However, I want to learn how to do 3d games, and thanks to Humble Bundle having a bunch of Unity stuff in a bundle, I am now able to do that.  In particular, I’m working through a Zenva course set that was included in the bundle.  Still on the first course, but you can see my dumb platformer level progress here.

I am a week late mentioning it on here, but oh well.

Yes, friends.  The game is, in fact, released!  I pulled out the stops to get it done super early, so I hope that you’ll download and enjoy~!

Like I mentioned last post, a lot of my time game dev wise has been devoted to beta testing.  I’m through testing the first four chapters, and I’ve finished a good number of edits needed for Chapter 5.

Suffice to say, I think I’m track to roll out the game some time in October at the latest.

Meanwhile on other fronts, I’m prepping stuff to start livestreaming games (hopefully if I don’t shy out).  I’m also looking to re-do a few of my logos for other things as well.  Hoping everything goes smooth on that front.
