Game Dev - July Summary
2 years ago
This post is a week late. I had it drafted by the end of July, but then a week went by without me noticing.
July was yet another month where I didn’t get much of anything done until the last week or so, which is strange because I felt rushed.
There are still a few things to talk about though.
First is the drama stuff some people might be interested in. The Doom map I’d mentioned previously as part of a community project. Well, I was banned from the Discord server because, during a conversation about the Michael Jackson accusations, I recommended Razorfist’s documentary series. This started a purity spiral which resulted in me being banned. I had a feeling something like this would happen when other entries were including pride flags and people were putting pronouns in their usernames.
I still think it’s strange that Doom, a game that was known to be edgy back in the day, would end up with a community that was so pearl clutching.
As for my own projects. I had been struggling in limbo. I wasn’t sure how to proceed. I made a sprite for a game boy game I had no gameplay in mind for, and my fixed camera horror game project has been stuck with me not being able to make progress in one part of the game without the other parts being figured out.
I have since started to make progress on both fronts. Mainly, I’m slowly working on a character model so I can figure out modelling, rigging, and animation. The rigging and animation I’m going to do in Blender, which means re-learning that program. Urg.
