Monster Train 100% Complete

It's finally done. After 537 hours, I have 100% completed Monster Train. All achievements, all clans combos on Covenant 25, all divine expert challenges, all cards mastered, all champion paths mastered, all trinkets found. There's nothing more for me to accomplish in the game except my own custom challenges or playing for score with the daily challenge. Now that that's…

Month #8

Howdy howdy, patrons. August is upon us, which means it's time to change gears and start a new batch of drinks. My goals this month relate to developing Wakeup Call further, pushing my simulator another step forward, and making the assets for my next 20 Cosmic Aliens. There's a lot to be accomplished this month, so I'm looking to refocus…

Merry Go Round

Another week, another cycle around the carousel. Wakeup Call, my simulator, and my Cosmic site all get more work contributed to them, and I'm feeling good about all of them. While the metaphor of the carousel is relevant to my work schedule, the title of this post is more about the fact that I've been listening to the new My…

Pretzels and Ice Cream

When I was young, soft pretzels and ice cream used to be uncommon treats I got to enjoy every now and them. The only limitation was my parents. Now that I'm an adult, this limitation is no longer present. I can eat whatever I want whenever I want. However, due to my autoimmune disease, I now have to be the…

Move and Explore

We're well on our way through July, so I figured it's time to share what I've been working on. Aside from getting some commission work, I was able to finish the art assets for the next batch of aliens. I also realized I might want to tweak some of the existing ones. It's always tricky to make sure the alien…

Episode Two Is Here!

It's finally time! Episode 2 of Wakeup Call is ready for release. I plan to go public with it right after I finish my cover art for it. I think I greatly improved my technique since the first episode. It still has an overall "amateurish" look to it, especially regarding the lineart. However, I think the expressions are more solid…

Prepare for Landing

We're one week out from chapter 2 of Wakeup Call getting dropped. I'm excited to share it. Hopefully it turns out like I'm hoping. I'll need to make sure I edit the Wakeup Call section so you can easily navigate between pages. I'm looking into getting some indexing for my Cosmic section, so if I pull that off I can…

Chewing the Fat

This past week, I tested out the OMAD strategy of intermittent fasting, otherwise known as "one meal a day." When I got diagnosed with Crohn's last year, my doctors wanted me to get a colonoscopy to check for polyps. After the first failed attempt, I had to do it again immediately the following day, meaning I ended up going two…

Staying the Course

We're right in the heart of June. Thunderstorms and heat waves abound, and yet the creative works continue to flow. My Cosmic section officially has 51 aliens, so now I'm in the process of confirming the terms and rules for my Cosmic. I need to make sure there's nothing glaring that I'm overlooking, as well as do a fair amount…

Here We Go

Another week, another jump forward in progress. Chapter 2 of Wakeup Call is on its way. The goal is to make steady progress each day and get it done by the end of June so I can post it early July. To those looking forward to reading it, I'm hoping I can make it worth the wait. Progress with the…
