Bi-Weekly Update - Snake
A couple of weeks ago, I posted a new game on my itch.io account: Snake! It is just like the classic game except for one key difference, which is the addition of a poison fruit. While a normal fruit adds 20 to your score and increases your length by 1, a poison fruit halves both your length and your score. Furthermore, unlike the normal fruit, multiple poison fruits can appear on the map at any given time, and they spawn in at a random interval. If you want to try it out for

Bi-Weekly Update: Gun Fight
In the past couple of weeks, I finished another game: Gun Fight! It's a simple two-person shooting game featuring an outlaw and a sheriff. Each player has a starting limit of six bullets, and the game resets if both players run out of bullets, or if one of them is shot. When the timer reaches zero, the game will end, and the scores will be finalized. Additionally, I added the ability for bullets to strike the opposing player's bullets, which will destroy them both. I also mad

Bi-Weekly Update - SoB (again)
This is a short update this time. Lately, I've continued to work on my Shadow of Bakumo script. I updated my itch.io publication to include more of what I've written, which you can access below: In addition to actually working on the story, some of the worldbuilding details I'm presently thinking through include the geopolitical relationships between Lamzia and the rest of the world in relation to their ongoing war with Strauv'ii, especially with the lofty stature of Amū; Ka

Bi-Weekly Update - SoB, Hyperobjects, Gun Fight
For one of my classes last week, I had an assignment to create a 3D space on Unreal Engine - not a game per se, but something that can still be interactive. The theme was "hyperobjects", the idea of metaphysical entities that cannot be observed in their entirety, but can still influence the world, like concepts in a way. Global warming is an example of a hyperobject, or the Chernobyl incident, or the totality of all the microplastics on the planet. The one I based my space on

The Doctrine of Diamis (concept - From Utopian Ashes)
The individual is a curious thing to her. Though entwined, body and soul were made separate by the universe. Life has its own senses, instincts, and cognition, but while the former can be developed and trained, Diamis wondered if the same was possible for the latter. If the self can become noticeably distinct. She is enamored by the concept of the moon. On an otherwise pitch-black night, the dim, glowing disk gives light to a corner of the world. But it is not its own light.
