I’ve been doing a torch only run on Dark Souls 3. It’s a lot of work but I’m getting better at learning the boss movement patterns.

weird, I didn't know I had submitted twycross to a compilation or something. Must've been forever ago

also you know my albums on Bandcamp are pay what you want? I've got a lot more recent stuff than Hapax Legomenon. Rescognizant EP is getting towards the kind of production I want to do
Yeah it was on one of the troubadours albums. Ink Blots I think!!

I need to get around to downloading some more music, I'll make sure to add some of the new stuff when I get a chance.

I think the first season of Andor was a bit stronger and Season 2 had a bit of issues with pacing the story. Like I feel that there was a lot of unnecessary padding to extend it to twelve episodes.

For RPG Maker Wednesday, might play through Don’s Adventure and Legion Saga II. I think Legion Saga II might have to be a couple of playthroughs.

I’m glad that I went back to playing Dark Souls III after taking a break because the game feels a lot more fun after taking a hiatus.

cool developer, seems quite old as it mentions they're retired, and that they were programming some of this stuff in the 80s. Too bad the interfaces are so weird though

I hope I’m still tinkering with code when I’m that old.

I typically stream 3am to 6am M - Friday, and I play territorial.io on Wednesdays 6pm to 7:30 and Saturdays 6am to 8am. Might not always be there for Wednesday streams because streaming is hard on that day due to family schedule.

I play other games too depending on what’s happening and will post updates for that here.

So this week (5/12):

M - Dark Souls 3 invasions
T -  Dark Souls 1 invasions
W - RPG Maker / Retro Game / Possibly Territorial
Th - Dark Souls 3 Invasions
F -   Dark Souls 1 invasions
S - Territorial.io with the Ween Squad

Rpgmaker.net had an argument against AI versus ripping art from commercial games before it got shut down. I think what they said of it’s different stealing from 1000 small artists versus ripping graphics from a commercial game.

To me, I think they’re both not great and I’d rather you edit the RTP or make your own stick figures on sticky notes or paint just because it’s something that you made yourself. It’s about the creative spirit of it. Not to say that games that use AI art or rips don’t have a level of creativity to them. I think there’s just too many problems with AI when it comes to art that it doesn’t really feel ethical. Not sure if it’s the same issue with music, but honestly I’m not really that well informed on AI when it comes to creating music.

Do you think I should do 5 days or a month? What timeframe is most manageable to make a game?

I like to do shorter jams myself but I’m curious to see what works best for others.

One of my younger kids is gonna be really into music when he’s older. He likes watching concert videos and we even gave him a little guitar since he likes to try to play with mine so we can play together.
