Firstly, I am so sorry for disappearing again. Life keeps throwing metaphorical rocks through my windows, and I've been trying to keep up as best as I can! ...and now for the main event:

New Music!

made some new music today! hope you guys enjoy it!

Twitch Streaming

I've been more or less neglecting my twitch page for some time now, but hopefully I should be able to begin again within a few weeks! I have a bunch of new components now, with only my camera missing from the picture (pun intended!). Once that arrives, I should be free to begin streaming again!

Programming Stuffs

....and skyworld. I'm tossing in the towel for now, as I've hit another major roadblock: I know nothing about GLSL shaders, and Monogame's GLSL compiler support is hacky at best (requires wine on linux? why?). In the mean time, I am working on a smaller game that I have dubbed 'StarShooter'! it's a top-down bullet hell space shooter with one objective: survive as long as you can! I will have pictures soon, as I already have asset loading done, along with having a fully functioning title screen and main menu!

Hello again everyone! I don't have an awful lot to say this time around (which is probably good... hopefully it stays that way!), so hopefully I at least prove to life that I still exist! ^..^

-Streaming To Twitch-

Due to AMD's announcement for dropping driver support for the Polaris based GPUs, I am currently stuck hunting for a new card again. Sadly, this is the primary reason for me disappearing off the face of planet earth again. Hopefully I will be back in gear by the end of this year! And speaking of timelines....

-Moving House-

I currently have put in motion the events required for me to get my own apartment! I hope to be moved in by late September, but the waiting list is quite long, so we shall see!

-Skyworld Gamedev-

And.... Skyworld. Between hardware malfunctions and sickness. I have had very little time or will (in some cases both!) to work on any projects... but it's looking like that's about to change! Currently, the base engine is actually starting to near a functional state, and soon I will be able to post screenshots and even concept art!

Sorry for vanishing again guys! Just getting over the flu!!

The Bad:

Recently, our family had an electrician come in to survey the house wiring and give us a quote. We have not received that quote just yet, but he confirmed our worst fears: the wiring of the entire house would have to be redone to be brought up to code! Also, I strongly suspect his work will take a month to complete, and will thus keep me from working on anything (which is going to drive me nuts!).

The (Not So) Bad:

About 3 days ago, my PC's CPU fan died. A bunch of brand new parts are already in shipping, so I don't expect this to be much of an issue very soon.

The Good:

With the electrician rewiring the entire house, I took the opprotunity to ask about running ethernet cables during his work. The answer from him was yes! The whole family will need to plan on where to set each endpoint up, but soon I will be twitch streaming again, this time droupout free!

*EDIT*

Discovered that it wasn't the flu, but covid19!

hey again everyone! I'm pleased to announce the release of my newest album, Vision! It consists of 8 different songs conveying the chaos of mining in weird caves! You can find and download it all for free here on my newgrounds!

hello everyone! Life is still a little crazy, but this year is looking promising as I find myself having more freetime to work on gamedev things. Here's my itinerary for this year:

+ release a smaller, separate game project

Looking back, I see I bit off more than I could chew when it comes to programming things. For now, skyworld will be on the backburner until I sharpen my 3D skills further, and have more of a team put together. I am hoping to release a smaller project, which I have not figured a name for yet, this year.

+ finish brand new albums

This year, I have two new albums to make, one for the little game I am making, and another, individual album. The individual album is already 33% complete, and should be arriving in a few months!

+ Maelstrom

I am pleased to announce that my custom networking backend is nearing completion! It's mean, lean, and runs circles around everything I tested it against so far! I will post a link here when I have the last optimizations in place.

sorry that it's been taking me so long to do anything regarding skyworld. life has been hell recently, and I've been trying my best to handle that. I promise I will get back to making music as soon as I can!

As some people have probably seen in my replies, I am currently making my own 3D game, and am currently working on it's music! This is going to be both my biggest album yet (400+ songs/loops!) and my biggest programming project yet!

Wish me luck!
