A much needed update March 13th 2023
Hullo all! I've been slowly making progress on my silly cat game, now aptly titled 'Silly Cat Boy Adventures'. I have the first 3 areas done, and a proper game design, and story document. All that's left is cutscenes, bosses, and some extra areas. Currently though I'm really burnt out, over the past few weeks I've become increasingly less productive, so I'll be taking the next two weeks to do mostly nothing and rest up (unless my famil gets in the way...). I also finished my first little story! I'll be writing another over the next few weeks. I also wanna get back into my groove of drawing. Recently I've been comparing myself to other artists wayyy too much, and it's sapped a lot of the joy out of art for me. I haven't made a new speedpaint in almost 3 months, and I really want to be more consistent with that. I might make the scale of them a lot smaller, unless I feel like I can commit to a bigger drawing. I also really oughta focus on environmental stuff. I'm gonna be way more productive after my break, I can't wait to show you all what I can do!! Thanks for reading! Sincerely, Cosmic~
What I've been up to, September 5th, 20222
Sooo, I haven't made a ton of progress on my projects. The cat game may have some major reworking to the levels, cause I think they're really short. I dunno how I'm gonna go about doing it, whether revamping entirely or building off of what's already there. For the most part it's functional though. I've been feeling a tad more motivated to study game design and music. School's also started for me, so I may be a bit slower with progress. That's mostly all I have to say!! Sincerely, Cosmic~
Back form vacation, and a reflection on summer, August 5th, 2022
Welp, I just got back from vacation, and now I'm sick :'). I didn't even want to go, but I was forced to which is fun, although, I did get a lil bnuuy plush!! Getting him was the best part of the trip. Now, I'd like to reflect on what I've done this summer. When I started summer, I said I wanted to learn japanese, music theory, and have a prototype of my game ready. I have learned some basic Japanese hirigana, though not enough to make a full sentence, but apparently learning Japanese in general is hard, sooo it's a good start!! As for music, I haven't learned much about actual music theory, but I have learned how to read sheet music, and I do know a few chords. My game is close to being roughly finished, all levels have been blocked out and now just need to be made, and I have the tutorial area made. I'm hoping to have the game done, sans the graphics, by the beginning of next year, and then have the graphics done soon after. I'd say, this summer was okay, but I could've been more focused. I got distracted a lot, and would feel dperessed and demotivated a lot, which was a big issue. I just need to focus on learning to be more motivated. That's all my thoughts for now, thanks for reading! Sincerely, Cosmic~
Yo, what's up! July 10th, 2022
This is the first proper update on this site, so I'll out line what I'm working on and all that, maybe abiiiit of personal stuff, but I'll try to keep it mostly project related. First of all, my current project, it's a game about a skirt-wearing cat tyring to fix the pipe sytems of a dream realm so he can get a glass of water. I don't have a name for this yet, because I'm really bad at names :P It's engine is pretty much complete, it just needs a bit off polishing. I have almost all the level blockouts finished, and I started making a rough draft of the tutorial level! The developments going very well so far! I have a lot of polishing to do, however. I don't have any large art projects at the moment, I'm thinking about making a Klonoa speedpaint for youtube (because I've been playing Phantasy Reverie, and I love it), but we'll see about that. School's also looming in the distance, so the amount of time I spend on projects might be limited. That's all for now, so I'll catch all of you next time !! Sincerely, Cosmic
