It's time!

May 3, 2024
Sorry for the late post, but I been busy studying and situating with finances that I’m finally able to sit down and write. So to the new stuff. My business unit at my current company is being sold and it looks like we might be able to hear something as early as next week! May is going to look pretty busy. I am volunteering as a Judge for the Pokemon Regionals in Los Angeles and I am now finished with the Calbright course that I’m spending half of my day studying for it.

A quick update!

Mar 12, 2024
Just wanted to let you guys know what’s been going on these last few weeks + upcoming weeks as I may not blog until April. I started my professional development again with Calbright Cyber Security training almost done. Planning on takin the Security+ Exam sometime in April! I’m going to start casually studying every night and then buckle down a week or two before. I relogged into my Udemy and found that I have not completed a lot of the courses I bought ranging from web dev to game development so I decided to start on Django again.

A Long March

Mar 4, 2024
Hello everyone! I’m back at relearning Python/Django and been doing a udemy course! As I mentioned before, this will help me work with Evennia a lot better/easier and will give me a leg up in Cyber Security since a lot of scripting is mostly done in Python. After getting more comfortable with Python, I would like to learn and use pygame for game jams moving forward (with the occasional Pico8). I’m hoping to begin using python/pygame for the 2024 Version!

February Update

Feb 23, 2024
Hello everyone, been working on setting up my server now that I gotten it and have gotten a good stream of regular users playing. My electricity went up 100% though but I moved to a newer place where it’s cheaper so I’m able to spare a few bucks. Hollowgrounds is still on pause but I am doing the world building during my free time while learning BASIC and 6502 Assembly.

It's been awhile

Jan 29, 2024
Sorry I been MIA! I have a lot to catch up but I spent the holidays relaxing and moving to my new apartment! I been gearing up for what I’m going to present later this year with multiple projects that I been working on. I finished laying out my novel and hoping to begin writing that this year and finish it sometime next year or after. My dream projects are now part of the same Mythos that share similarities but not directly related.

GO23 - Pre Blog

Nov 2, 2023
Hey guys, taking a 95% pause on HG right now to focus on Game Off 2023! I didn’t get to do it last year since we did the multiplayer summer jam one but this time we are going in full force! This year we will be learning Godot and turning this project into a text- adventure game that takes place in Space with the theme of Scales. The game will obviously be open source and so the game will be titled: The Tales of Three Scales.

Hey everyone, sorry it’s been awhile but I have been busy this month. I interviewed for an internal project, I returned from Sacramento from Judging Pokemon Regionals and now I’m getting some time in to work on personal projects before Game Jam November! I was able to get some work done for Hollowgrounds. I finished the basic template map for the 2nd area and after I tidy some of this up I will begin working on the 4 quests that will be featured in the Beta that will happen later this year early next!

HG Log #5 / Busy Week

Oct 11, 2023
Hey guys, it’s been awhile but October has been pretty busy so far. Catching up with school and working towards landing a 6 month project to do Mobile App Testing so I been preparing for that. Not much details about this project just yet since my Manager presented the short term project to us recently so I will find out soon. I know we have to interview for it and I saw the prep and it looks somewhat easy with a minor things that I’m familiar with but not enough to go into details so I will work on that.

HG Devlog #3 - Mapping

Sep 25, 2023
Hey guys, A small update as in there probably be less development time this week due to studying and I’m seeing a concert and just going to relax from the pc every once in awhile but I’ll still blog. But once the weekend hits I’ll be doing more work. I finished Baldur’s Gate 3 and it’s a sweet game. Thinking of playing it again in the Winter. But I’m currently setting up my Wii to run retroarch on my CRT TV (13’ Toshiba TV with a built in DVD-Player) to play some old classic RPGS to get some inspirations in terms of storylines, mapping, and art inspirations.
