2025 In The Rearview

-

 If there was a committee whose sole responsibility was to ensure the progress of this pilot game they would have the noose around my neck by now. The sweat would be running down my face in buckets as they asked questions that had no desirable answer. Progress? Afraid progress was almost non-existent this year as numerous pitfalls befell this solo pioneer. Updates? No I am afraid I had so much going on that updates did not get completed. What have I done? Not nearly as much as I would like to have.

All that aside I have not been entirely lax. Some of the histories and government descriptions found within the Races and World lairs have been edited. But that about sums it up. A one man operation hinges on the one man. This last year just about broke me. So there has been nothing left to give.

Hopefully this new year will provide better opportunities. Nonetheless, I am giving the furtive one finger solute to 2025. May it burn into obscurity.

    Everyday is a new day to start over, I have heard a few times.
    Life gives certain people the continual uphill and door in many cases.
    Fair? No....life is never fare.....is it?
    That was not a rhetorical question!!

    By no means will one be left on the ground. We strive from day to day in all our own ways.

    SO....with that being said........lets ask ourselves one thing every morning while getting up out of bed....look in the mirror at yourself......and say..............What do we want to accomplish today?

Each quarter I come on here and post updates about the progression of the development of Epimetheus. It is a way to both display progress and ensure those who are following that I have not wavered in my dedication to this childhood dream. It also serves as a platform to share common pitfalls and opportunities in the realm of indie game development, for the casual developer. However, there have been times where I fell into patterns of sharing personal struggles and challenges. Over-sharing is a symptom of ADHD. One that needs to be discontinued if I am to portray a professional, polished game to the masses. While I do want people to enjoy the game, I also want my followers to understand the trials that one is faced with when pursuing a task as monumental as this one. That being said there really is not much to discuss this quarter. All of the progress has been personal. I had briefly probed ChatGPT about its development in learning as a result of our interaction. It stated that AI prog...

The Missing Link

Irony has no bounds. No sooner had I publicly committed to uploading new content every week, then I found myself locked out of my Google+ account. Therefore I would like to start this post with my utmost apologies for not being able to meet my obligations sooner. Rest assured I will be placing fail-safes to avoid such an embarrassing matter again. Nonetheless, I have been working to keep the content flowing regardless of my inability to upload it. Some changes have been made: we are now placing morale alignment more in the peripheral gameplay and stepping up the grouping of Men, Monsters, Fairie and God-born. This decision was made in light of the intended feel of the game. Our focus is on creating a world where a player's avatar may die for good but leaves a legacy for their children to inherit. In essence, the player is choosing to play a bloodline more so than a character. The intent is to keep the game fresh by placing them in a position to try new professions and specializa...
