I slept for 3 hours because I knew I had an appointment this morning but now I feel a little sick and scatterbrained... I'm not really sure how I'm going to survive the 20 minute appointment and then 1 hour session thing that's right after. But hey it's a BBC thing so who knows could lead to some interesting places.
I've recently discovered that I wouldn't mind doing editing as a job, but I'd need to learn how to fully do it so maybe this could be the thing.

I'm starting to take my project idea more seriously. If I go ahead with it, then I will make a game this year.
Been doing a lot of planning, testing, writing, drawing, etc to get the feasibility really nailed down (as well as some time spent doing market research).
Still need an ending. Finishing the writing is where my focus is so I can decide to pull the trigger or not (last part of my "is this a good idea" discovery phase).
Got an artwork production pipeline sorted as well as a style that's easy to produce finalised (the style is handled by the rendering technology, which alleviates a lot of work required for the content).
Bringing the components together to make the core technology needs to take 4 weeks at best, if it runs into 5 weeks then I know the project will take longer than a year.
There is some exploration to be done for how the world is managed in the game. The map tools I have are incredibly simple, so scrubbing up a play-area environment takes less than 30 minutes. I need to explore how I want areas to connect (the dream is a single connected world, but I don't think this is a good design choice for this type of game). I may cheat and use an area selection map to warp the player between locations (Shard Light got me thinking about how to do this, it could work if the areas are designed right).
After getting the plot completed, if I decide once and for all to do this then I'm going to rush out a prototype game to post here to get feedback. It will be a stripped down version of the introduction scene (prototype the story) and a scene to test how the dialogue and game-play work together.
The biggest problem I see with the design I have right now is that it may feature too much walking around and not enough player feedback, so I may end up restricting the size of environments so everything the player needs to do is within the immediate vicinity.

I was feeling strong last week. Like everything was do able.
This week I'm fluctuating between "I can't" and "I can, but so what"
I just need to sit down and do the work. But I don't see the reward in it.
Oh now I remember, this is why I tried thinking of it as practice for experience. So even failure counts for something.

I met the CEO of the (small) company I want to publish my game at a con over the weekend, and he gave me his card. I just emailed him a pitch + screenshots and am mildly freaking out.

I know I haven't updated my game thread in a while, but I'm definitely still working on it. It's just been mired in editing for ages, so there's nothing cool to show off.

We had 2 dyed easter eggs left. So I made my dad choose. The blue Easter egg, you wake up tomorrow in your bed and nothing changes. Take the red Easter egg, and see just how far the rabbit hole goes.
he ate the blue one. with salt.

This weekend's going to be awesome. Friday I'm going to the theatre to listen to Beethoven's 6th Symphony and Saturday and Sunday I'll be attending a beach wedding. I'm going to get so wasted.
EDIT: I asked a girl out to the theatre. She doesn't seem like the type to enjoy classical music, so I hope she doesn't get too bored.

Boobs > Ass
Ass people are really pissing me off lately. STFU already. I'll bring boobs back into style.
Ohh I see now. Cowards. You can look at a girl's ass without being detected, but not with boobs. I look girls right in the boobs if they're large. No reason to get mad. They know they got them big ass titties. LOL Big assTitties. Ahahahhahaha.

Hey guys, this is a little embarrassing...
but what DO you do when you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours?
It's getting pretty serious

Dear. God. It's the Ebona virus! It's highly contagious.
Everyone wash your hands and avoid touching your eyes.

Dude that is way nsfw. I'm glad I checked this place while I was still at home so I can avoid it for the rest of the day :x

We should only work on ADULT games here.
That's what it looks like, right?
I'll do it.
