2019 Year-end Update
6 years ago
Hey folks!
Well, it's been a crazy year, and though I've been pretty frazzled I believe it's ended a little better than the previous year.
If you're following me, you know that it's been nearly a month since I posted a page of my Riley comic, the first one to be in full-color. While I have started work on the next one, I really regret not being able to add to the comic more frequently. As you can probably imagine, color does take more work than the old greyscale pages, but the big problem has been that I just haven't been motivated. I can never get myself to do any significant work while at home, either because I'm cleaning, entertaining or just binge-watching youtube. I'm terribly inefficient. I currently have the pencil-and-paper rough draft of the new page hidden amongst my paperwork at the office, but work has been so hectic lately that I'm lucky if I get to it at all.
The other thing is that my mind has just been in other places lately. The big thing with me for these last few weeks has been a new action game, TrooperCabra. It's fairly ambitious for me, and I've been gradually filling a notebook with various concepts and facets as well as running some programming tests to make sure I'm actually capable of making it all work. I've also been drawing a simple portrait of it's hero, which I hope to have done soon. So there is a silver lining to all of my apparent inactivity. On an unrelated note I was also thinking about developing a new operating system, but that's neither here nor there (Probably not gonna happen)
So, yeah. Still intent on delivering more of the ol' Riley content. Sorry it's coming along so slowly. It actually kinda hurts to think that with all that I'd had planned for the series, I will likely never get around to all of it in one lifetime at this pace. But I figured I'd rather have the comic continue at a snail's pace than not have it at all.
Good things are coming in 2020! I promise!
