HOUSE OF THE DRAGON!

HOLY SHIT!

There are still great stories to be told that can make us feel alive! Still wonderous adventure  to be had that can unite us while celebrating our flawed humanity. It is so damned heartening for the soul to see characters on screen with principle and complexity not watered down by the modern petulance and nihilism consuming us.

There is still potential for excellence in this world. 

Anyhow! 

In a pretty good state of mind. I am so grateful to still be excited to be pushing forward on SeaCrit despite the burnout, despite this craziness and uncertainties. 

Could be worse...

Got some beans cooking as we speak, going to dice up some veggies, fry up some beef and throw those in when the beans should be just about ready. Then I will have a sludge of sustenance that should be able to last me a few more days and I can focus on gamedev.

Dev has been intense as of late. I will never be used to the astronomical and hidden cost of gamedev. It is always a terrible surprise to open the project and see time and again just how many things need doing in infinite directions that our human brains are simply not prepared to encapsulate. But I suppose it keeps things interesting at the least.

Can't say I have a plan for today outside of fixing up all the foundations we broke up yesterday, maybe we'll get more upgrades done up. Who knows! Doesn't matter anyhow does it?

All that matters is we're still in the fight, still putting our head down, still pushing forward against all odds.

I find myself distracted time and again of the hope that someone will come and save us. Some powerful outside force will see this project, see potential, or at the very least the opportunity for exploitation , and lend a helping hand. This does nothing but sap our energies, adds more winding oscillations on this rollercoaster than is necessary in this turbulent gambit.

It's fine if the world thinks us some sort of wretched pariah. Worse yet, thinks nothing of us at all. I often wonder if we're paying the price of others' sins. So it goes. Time to get back to our core, productive mindset: 

If we build it, they will come.

TO DEV, M*THER FUCKERS
