Blogs

I am currently taking a work vacation in LA from the Bay and decided to work on my personal projects in the mean time. Since I was young I always wanted to build a game in VB6 since at the time every body was coding and making games using VB (and similar languages) at least for the games I was following. During the weekend I decided to look at Byond because that was one of the few instances where I stumbled upon code (especially source code).

Back with another blog post. Right now, I am currently learning Django with a course I bought from Udemy. I figured since Evennia has their webapp side of things built with Django, I might as well learn how Django works if I wanted to make changes to the website. This is also an excuse to learn more Python in depth rather than just working on the mud with it so yeah.

I got out and dusted off a spare Macbook Pro I had which I am now using to get back into djing and doing gigs. I also brought it out so I can work on my projects on a better environment. I actually would have used Ubuntu but I needed a system where I can do both djing and programming on the side. Not much news here but with the MUD being built with Evennia, I decided that my first web rpg is going to be done in Django so my python knowledge will overlap.

I’m back at it again and hopefully I’ll be more active. At least once a month! Anyways a quick update going into this new year is that I’m finally up in Silicon Valley. I’ve always wanted to live here for the longest time and it feels so surreal haha. Maybe I’ll start vlogging again. I’m currently liking my new job and I have taken the time to re-learn Go (the game) and picking up backgammon.

Nothing too huge but I’m putting together a team with some of the folks over at mockinbird.dev to compete in our next Game Jam this fall! https://itch.io/jam/back-to-school-multiplayer-game-jam-2022 Some of our teammates have experience with Unity but not with Photon so this will be interesting. I’ll most likely be taking over creative design and initial code as I am also learning C#/Unity on the side with BASIC/ASM6502. So far so good.

I just started a new role and getting my foot wet in the Cyber Security world! I’ll be auditing code making sure there are up to date and nothing is wrong (Hopefully no body sticking in hidden crypto miners in their code) I’m currently still onboarding/training but the company sounds really good to work with so I’m hoping to learn more in the mean time. I started learning Assembly and C64 Basic again so I’m hoping to punch out some cool homebrew with some real hardware soon!

Our first game under the mockinbird.dev has been released for NaNoRenO 2022! Link here: https://djknitex.itch.io/echoes-that-sing. Aside from that, I know it’s going to be a small post but I started re- learning Python as well as SQL to be able to get on track to become a Junior Data Scientist at my current company. So I’m on the grind and will report back with other Python related things I will be doing (Or web dev!

We been at this for a couple of weeks taking on as Lead Developer and defactor scrum master. Would like to introduce old collaborator Matthew again while taking on new Audio Engineer, Quintin (Longtime member of Team SKYNITE) to add music/sounds for us. So we decided to use rot.js to make a roguelike based game within the bugs theme using a boilerplate by chr15m and its been working wonders while adding some of our own new features in.

We are now recruiting Quintin to help work on sound/audio design so our game will have “professionally” made music and sounds! The theme for this year’s Game Off 2021 is Bugs and as we plan from our first meeting we have a direction that we want to take. Nothing concrete for now but please feel free to follow along as I post more updates.

Decided to make a new blog again. Keeping up with HexoJS was tiresome and very hard to make a backup for (At least for me.) so I decided to go with Blogger, which has then been very easy to setup and I used them for my other projects as well. I know there’s nothing now but if you like to see my oldest posts feel free to fork them from my Github.
