It's the first Friday Rambles of May, 2024.
Exactly one year ago at this time, I was freaking out, trying to finish my game in time to meet my launch date of May 4. I was getting roughly 3 hours of sleep per night, and all hours that weren't eating food or going to the bathroom were spent finishing the game. And then a month later I became...
2024-05-03 08:31:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt's the last Friday Rambles of April, 2024, except it's on Monday, because I was busy still being in Korea, going to places and doing things. Sorry.
I'm drawing a picture for 1 year anniversary, with hopes that maybe it could also serve as the new key/capsule art on Steam when the Big Story Update comes out at some point or another. I'm n...
2024-04-29 09:48:51 +0000 UTC View PostAnother Friday, another Rambles.
As promised last week, I drew something as penance for posting nothing but pictures of food and buildings on my socials for the past two weeks.

It's the Friday Rambles for Friday, April 12, of Sunday, April 14. Cut me some slack, I was busy doing international travel.
This past week I was in Japan. I was gonna write a long travel journal here but most of it's like "I went to a place and ate a food" that no one except myself would find interesting, so I'll just post the cliffs note...
2024-04-14 10:02:39 +0000 UTC View PostIt's the first Friday Rambles for April, 2024. Well, it's getting deep into Friday here, anyway. Greetings from the future.
It was a nice week. I think I'm mostly over the jet lag. I saw a movie in a theater for the first time in like a year (Dune: Part 2, what a good movie to see in a theater). I ate lots of good cookin'. My goal is to ga...
2024-04-05 08:03:24 +0000 UTC View PostIt's the final Friday Rambles for March 2024. I'm pretty jet lagged, but I'll try to work through the fog to get this week's rambles out to you, loyal patron of the arts.
I'm now a 13 hour flight away from the ol' gamedev office, at the family homestead, in a far away land. I brought my computer, so at least I'll be able to do some work (l...
2024-03-30 05:24:56 +0000 UTC View PostWhew! It's the fourth Friday Rambles of March 2024.
The Steam Spring Sale has came and went. It went pretty good. Some new localizations performed better than others, but that's the way things go, I suppose. I hope I can at least break even at some point. At least I know for next time.
I'm all moved into my new place. It is a lot sma...
2024-03-23 06:25:46 +0000 UTC View PostIt's the Friday Friday Rambles, and whew boy am I tired.
Made it to the new place, still unpacking boxes. I set up the computers asap because I needed to finish remaining work for the Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese localizations, and of course, build them for all platforms. But the coolest thing about it was spending like 4 ho...
2024-03-15 23:00:33 +0000 UTC View PostIt's the first Saturday Friday Rambles of the year!
I've been pretty busy and have been running on 3 hours of sleep every night, in between trying to get localizations done before the Steam Spring Sale and getting ready for a big cross-state move. I organized a bunch of playtests for a few different languages, and now, less than a week bef...
2024-03-10 04:46:04 +0000 UTC View PostIt's the Friday Rambles for March 1, 2024. Time flies.
Busy week. Did some post launch support for KR localization, fixing up stuff I found while working on some other localizations, which are finishing up playtesting. Finished UI work for CHS localization, while the translation is still in progress.

It's the last Rambles of February 2024. So it goes.
This week was focused on getting the Korean localization of Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines out the door. I was planning on it being part of a larger "Localization Update" with Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese, but they're still a few weeks out from completion and I wanted an excuse ...

Blah blah blah.

2024-02-16 23:51:31 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s the second Rambles of February. Time marches on, as they say. Did I even do anything this week?
Okay, I did a fair amount of stuff this week. On the “productivity scale” it was probably a “okay, I guess”. I imagine it’ll be a lot more busy next week when a bunch of translated scripts will be ready for turning into new loca...
2024-02-09 23:45:24 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s the first Rambles of February, the second month, of 2024. This is where we look back on the endless potential we had in January, when we had a whole year ahead of us. I don’t even remember what my resolutions were.
Some games on my wishlist went on sale this week. 2024-02-02 22:25:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Another week, another Rambles. It was a productive week this time around. The last Rambles of January, if you can believe it. Wow! The inexorable march of time inexorably marches on.
I’m sure you have friends you haven’t talked to in a while, but keep thinking about. I have a few friends in gamedev from a past life that I’ve wanted t...

It’s the third Rambles of the year. Whoa, already 6% done with the year! 58% done with the month! The month is middle aged now. Feeling old yet?
I’ve been pretty busy, with this and that, and such and such, and so on and so forth. Doing as much as I can to get ready for the things I’m waiting to happen to happen.
It’s the Friday Rambles. The second rambles of the New Year. I hope everyone has been keeping up their New Years Resolutions. As mentioned last week, this is gonna mostly be a list of stuff I did since the last Rambles. In a fortunate twist, I was actually kinda productive this week.
Keeping busy has allowed me to avoid hanging out too m...

It was probably the shortest year I’ve ever experienced. I seriously don’t know where the entire year went. I blinked and it was gone. Really!

It's the Friday after Thanksgiving, making this "Black Friday." Traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year. But also, it's the Friday Rambles.
Gonna keep it short, because it's Thanksgiving weekend and I have family stuff to do.

I've been juggling a bunch of different projects lately, and have been making progress on basically none of them, so I finally decided to put on my Project Management hat, and made some Trello boards and "prioritized" my "stuff."
Stuff:
Friday Rambles time.
I've made good progress on Whiskey's Bar. A story and some mechanics are coalescing into an actual game I might be able to show to people at some point. Might take a little longer than previously expected though, because it's shaping up to be like, around the same size as the original game itself. Oh no!
