As I said last week, I decided I want to do a weekly update every Sunday. Well guess what? It\u2019s Sunday! So, time to update you on what I\u2019ve been up to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been doing slow and steady work on game dev this past week, but without opening RPGmaker even once. I don\u2019t know why, I just can\u2019t get myself to open it yet after a month of focusing on writing! Instead, I\u2019ve been working in excel. I decided I wanted an outside inventory for my database. Turns out it\u2019ll be pretty handy, because I\u2019m changing more than just what items will be included. I decided to adjust the elements a slight bit. Now, instead of eight elements, there will be nine. I\u2019m doing this because making Earth-based crafting recipes felt a little strange when I was including sand, leaves and grass depending on the item. So now the element list looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Fire<\/li><li>Water<\/li><li>Earth<\/li><li>Plant [New and TBN probably]<\/li><li>Wind<\/li><li>Ice<\/li><li>Thunder<\/li><li>Light [or Holy, debating the name here too]<\/li><li>Chaos [AKA Darkness]<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This of course means there may be more items to add yet, since I now have more mechanics to play around with. But, I have a good feeling about this. So, let\u2019s see how it goes, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other news, I restarted another writing project for a bit. Play or Die felt like it needed to be done again, especially since I came up with new ideas for how to work with it. Wish me luck? I also still have Nuru open. Add in my daydream document and you\u2019ve got quite a lot of projects kept open at the same time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, I have something exciting to do this week\u2026 I\u2019ll be streaming again on Wednesday! My NDA for a certain game is officially over on May 11th, and I\u2019m super stoked to be able to share it. It looks like I\u2019ll have to use OBS Studio instead of Streamlabs because Streamlabs doesn\u2019t seem to find the program (I did a test with it without actually streaming anything). But, we\u2019ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think that\u2019s all for today. There\u2019s other fun stuff on the horizon, though! I\u2019m looking forward to so many things right now! Anyway, take care, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi hello, everyone! As I said last week, I decided I want to do a weekly update every Sunday. Well guess what?
