I've been in Pittsburgh for two weeks now, and I'm getting settled in.
So how am I doing in various areas of this TCHOW project?
Make Games
rktcr.
I've been able to spend some good time on rktcr;
enough that I'm thinking about starting to write development updates.
Indeed, I'm getting to a point where the low-level gameplay is mostly finished, as is the pool of prospective levels.
I'd like to send out another alpha version soon.
Two major tasks remain in rktcr: world-gen and story/cutscenes.
The first is a programming task, which could prove unfeasible, requiring a fair amount of restructuring of the level2 concept of this game.
The second is an art generation task, which requires me to sit down and do some serious inkscape-ing (for characters) and vim-ing (for story).
Puzzle. The potential puzzle/plot collaboration hasn't moved forward much.
I'd like to work on creating some example plot, but I'm a bit worried about burning out on writing before getting to rktcr's plots.
This is probably not going to be a problem, but I worry nonetheless.
Have a Social Life
This is ticking along nicely.
I've reconnected with old friends and acquaintances. (Some of which I didn't even know were still in town!) I also have friendly neighbors.
I could certainly stand to do more social things, but I also don't feel isolated.
Additionally, I've been making use of OkCupid, which has resulted a couple of dates and a few interesting conversations so far.
(Also, unexpectedly, a lot of good book, movie, and music recommendations.)
However, it's also a fair amount of yelling into the wind.
Lose Thirty Pounds
No progress (not that I expected much).
However, that's not going to prevent me from continuing rock climbing -- it's just good fun.
