Good evening, Fridaynauts. It is the second Friday Ramble of the last month of 2025. Welcome to new people, and thank you to the oldheads.
There were a lot of real life interruptions and obligations this week that kept me from doing as much work on Game 2 as I would have liked, but game dev is slowly happening.
Good evening, Fridaynauts. It's the first Friday Ramble of the last month of 2025. As autumn wanes, and winter begins its silent arrival, I get yet another cold. Not as bad this time around, though. Stay healthy, everyone.
Starting to get busy with holiday stuff, and work life balance is tipping over to the life part. Not that it was all that deep in the work part to begin with.

It's the last Friday Rambles of November, and it's on a Saturday, for once.

It was the Thanksgiving holiday this week. I just got home from being busy with people, places, and things. I'm full of turkey and cranberries. And I'm thankful for you, the patron of the arts.
It's the third Friday Ramble of November. Let's go.
Cool New Bag Stuff
I have recovered from my seasonal upper respiratory infection, and was able to take my cool new bag outside for a walk. I walk to the post office whenever I have orders to ship, and it's been nice having a cool new bag for carrying them. Unfortunately it also rained most days of the week so I couldn't take ...

It's the first Friday of November. Spooky season is over, and now it's Christmas season. It's not too early to put up a tree yet, I guess. I'm the type to put one up in late December and then keep it there until, like, March, though.

Quite possibly the latest Friday Ramble ever, considering we've already passed another Friday after this one, but I'll be darned if I don't keep my commitment to rambling every Friday. So, it's the Wednesday, October 8 Friday Ramble for Friday, September 26.

It's the Thursday Friday Rambles for 2025/09/19. Okay, I was super busy with things, but please pretend I posted this on Monday instead. You know, like 3 days late instead of 6 days late.
A lot of stuff went on this week too, so the Ramble continued to get delayed, but that's for tomorrow's Friday Ramble.

Mostly busy with family things this week, but I found time to do some work. I approved the final version of a merch thing. It rules. I can't wait for it to be released into the world.

I'm traveling, it's half for work and half for family stuff. I'm mostly settled in now at my destination, but it was a hectic few days. It's very hot here. It was also hot where I was, but it feels like another level here with the humidity and all that. Of course, I also caught a cold, so that's p...

Ticket purchases opened up for Tokyo Game Show, so I applied for a Business Days pass.

I was allowed to buy a ticket without any issues so now I'm officially going to Tokyo Game Show 2025 during the...

I set a hard deadline for myself for releasing a Steam page and trailer for Game 2. While I'm confident I'll meet it, I won't be announcing it here quite yet, because it turns out I'm not actually that confident after all.

I'll be honest, I've been going through a bit of a creative block, but I think I've finally made a bit of a breakthrough. I thought of the premise I want to explore for Game 2, and started writing the different storylines that'll be happening in it. But how it happened was I got frustrated enough trying to m...
