It's Friday #353 (Patreon)

Enjoy the view on Fridays.

About work...

I'm still working on the game's animations and sounds. Have you seen the images for the game's encounters? Those images are layered in a PSD file; that way, I can create a specific image for a new encounter without losing the dimensions or position of the base cards, so they all look the same...

Well, that file got corrupted. So I had to redo everything from scratch and lost about a day’s worth of work just copying and pasting. That kind of thing is the worst, especially when you’re in a rush to meet a deadline.

Anyway, I’ve made a little progress on the ME comic; I’ve got the background color done now, and I hope to start finishing up some pages sometime next week.

Finally, the Dungeons & Dames page on Steam is now live, so if you want (please do!) to add the game to your wishlist, just looking for Dungeons & Dames in the app.

Proof of work, one of the new encounter cards, I know this proof nothing, but hye, at least it's something new to see, right?

The picture...

Cassandra Peterson as Elvira in a cameo in Stroke Ace (1983)-

I haven’t seen the movie; it looks like one of those American car-racing and country music things I don’t quite get. It looks fun, but strange at the same time, and in the midst of it all, like a lighthouse in the middle of the dark sea in the midst of a terrible storm, Elvira...

How I wished I had her game back then (or even a computer), those bastards really knew how to make a game desirable, and I have so much to learn from them.

Aside work...

This week I was feeling really energetic, and I think I may have pushed myself a little too hard with the weights, nothing serious, just my body reminding me of my age.

But anyway, I’m covering more distance in the same amount of time and I recover easily afterward, so I think I’m making really good progress, especially considering that I need to get in shape by February of next year.

I'm having a great time, especially with the bosses; I think they've struck a good balance: neither too easy nor too hard.

The graphics are still impressive, with those hand-drawn illustrations.

I haven't read anything this week, but my girlfriend is reading a book aloud to me while I make dinner: The End of the Bias: the Beginning, by Jessica Nordell.

One thing I really like about books is that they make you rethink your point of view. I don’t like feeling stupid or wrong, but I think it’s necessary to go through that to grow, and this book really puts me in that position, though less than I expected.

Don’t hesitate to check it out; I think it’s a good book, and if you can, maybe read it in a group to discuss the topics, my girlfriend and I are really enjoying it.

I think that is all for now.

The song...

More old electronic music? More old electronic music.
