Last night around 2am I posted a new music release. I'm glad to finally have it done, and I want to now shift full focus back on Project Vellar as my main creative project. Story scripting is underway, and while it hasn't gotten to far, due to my picky mind and inability to decide what I want, I'm happy with the current progress. My life has otherwise recently been taken over with school and Elden Ring Nightreign, and as this summer semester come to an end, and the new semester begins soon, I can gladly say my associates is getting close to completion. One place I've neglected with this project is art. I am an artist of the word (very modest) and of music (gimme a break), not one of drawing or placing color and concepts onto canvas, digital or real. That's not to say I dislike doing it, I just suck at it. I'm hoping to maybe take some shots at it over the next year. Yes year, games aren't made in a day, or at least not ones like this. I'm planning everything long term. On another dev note, I recently relistened to Silver Mt. Zions "He has Left us Alone" album. There's more name but it's long. While listening to the track "Sit in the Middle of Three Galloping Dogs" I ended up having an epiphany. I knew how I wanted the game to end in general, but never knew how to make it into an interesting scene, or how to portray this idea in game. Weirdly, this songs structure, from build up, to the pause of the drums around 2:50, to the cresendo, seems to have given me a massive burst of inspiration. We find it in weird places yea? Anyways, not much else to say. Stay well.
My intention with this blog is to more seriously write down how I feel as I pursue one of my projects more. I don't have a name, so assume it's name is "Project Vellar" as that will be the name of the city it takes place in. If by chance one day, it gains any form of traction, my hope is this can serve as a cool archive. I've always enjoyed seeing creative minds have a well constructed history, so you can see how they felt at certain times, what troubled them, what excited them, etc. I'll do what I can to update once a month, just developments I had when writing, my experience when I start trying to develop, and everything else focused around it. It's a dev blog basically, dev blogs are fun. P.S. It's homestuck day. Ok well, the second homestuck day, 4/13 is behind us. Is starting this in 6/12 a good sign? I don't know..
