Maker's Monday

Trying out a new weekly thread idea.

This would be a thread for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.

@ArjinFerman, @Turniper, and myself all had some initial interest.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

My three big projects at the moment are picking up piano after 20 years of not playing, studying for the JLPT in December, and training to run a 10k in November.

They’re all going well so far! I’ve been surprised how quickly piano has come back. I can already run 10k but have a target time so will be working on getting my speed up the next few months.

I have been playing a lot of Unicorn Overlord lately and am also kicking around an idea for a prototype that might improve on it in a few key ways. Happy to share details if anyone is curious.

Good luck on the 10k. Once upon a time I ran, but these 40 year old knees don't do it anymore.

Unicorn Overlord was a very pleasant surprise. I immediately craved more games like that, and found that there aren't any. A shame.

Yeah it seems ripe for some iterating on the formula especially since the studio doesn’t seem known for follow-ups.

I’ve had some tibia troubles but fortunately am near unpaved trails which help with the impact.
