im making dubstep song every day and also playing a lot of guitar to try and noodle out some stuff for a game im doing the music for. and for band practice i guess.
i would say im having neither triumphs nor tribulations.. im improving a lot at both production and guitar. but the fruit of that improvement is still a bit away. which is fine cus i love the grind.

hows that been treating u? do you have a set of exercises/references u work with, or do u just keep a habit of sketching? i want to start keeping monthly sketchbooks but im a indolent girl at heart
>>3mqnonj5s6223
sick track!!
grinders always prosper tbqh. i hope you taste the fruits of your practice soon enough hopeful woman emoji
since the start of this year i've been working on a visual novel called trash mountain with my two loves. its about two painters in the midwest who were childhood friends. they reconnect again through the art world.
we have the first ch in... visuals still pending but its taking shape.
its really tough, making games. it takes forever and sometimes i doubt if i have the discipline to see it through -o- but somehow this year ive been working on it almost every day. it does get easier though - when i see it take shape i get excited.. its a blessing and a curse - working with people you love
>>3mqnpcahlgv22
looking forward to it :0
making games is lowkey impossible. in particular it feels like working just by yourself or with one or two people, getting a good workflow with art/writing > gameply implementation > testing is so hard to achieve consistently and effectively. u guys are truly an inspiration to all us devnewbs bowing woman emoji

book and vn. vn is written, has been for months. alls left is the admin slop; giving my artistes the rub, putting the code in etc. not very interesting+no writing left so vry easy to get distracted writing chapters for smthn nu and captivating. book i can tiptap type on my little chromebook flapjack inbetween work breaks, cant rly coordinate a team from a txt file. need the hq for that. limitations.
25/70k with any hope. i want a real rocker of a novel. page turning zip show, grip on the mentals.
>>3mqnuyrwhvs23
artists these days wont work without their rub... back in my dad a stroke was good enough.
having something to work on in during breaks is definitely nice, another appeal of a journaling or sketching habit imo. what r ur book/vn going to be about?
>>3mqo3xwzpcu2t
aye, there's their rub
im currently working (very slowly) on this comic for a zine im putting together. i didnt ask too many ppl to participate bc im not working very quickly, but i wanted an opportunity to practice layout and printing
made the visuals and tooling to make a fixed perspective 3d rpg game but ultimately decided this wasn't the direction i wanted to go with the project and i'm instead just going with a more traditional third person 3d. probably spending all week on that
>>3mqoeu36ngc23
what led you to abandon fixed perspective? whats the general feel of the game ur going for?
originally i wanted something like pokemon bw/bw2 in that they are 2d games that use 3d geometry and allow for some cool perspective changing moments but ultimately it doesn't create as immersive of environments. i care really deeply about the atmosphere of the game as its locations are one of the major appeals i've realized.

your lines have a nice quality to them they remind me of smoke wisps or something. very beautiful
>>3mqor3ngwrk23
black/white definitely have some of the best environments in the entire franchise. its a style you can do a lot with and is definitely worth pursuing, especially now that its so much leas popular
i might explore it for a different project or polish the engine up to help someone else make that game, but for my project i just don't think it's a great match sadly
i got back into making music in the last couple of months and i've gotten to the point now where i'm beginning to compile some songs for a first release. it's all kind of idm-y stuff, some of its a little derivative, but i just want to actually get something out there. the hardest part for me is probably going to be deciding what i want my artist name/album name/cover art to be... i have no clue! when i was younger it was easier for me to create personas but i might need to just go with my full name.
im enjoying these sketchbooks of late. rollbahn grids....
othrwise im all over the place - game dev one month, renpy another - music one week - nothing another - i always struggle with burn out because I get so obsessed /fixated and just churn chug until my body gives out - and spiritually/emotionally like a light bulb i go out - i always come back to drawing as my heartbeat - so long as it's not being willed or subjectd to desires 'this must amount to something ' a product or component asset in a broader system design... but systems are fun for me to design/think about - most of the systems I make I dont rly end up pursueing - its as if - making systems is a hobby in itself lol -but its all a journey w/e.
>>3mqp3odyqj42g
wrt album names, you should make a thread in /b/ and let them decide. itll probably be something like "grevious madeline" "or "crendle breastmilk"
>>3mqpnmgznz22v
those look sick, i really like graph and especially dot grids for sketching and planning comics
yeah, and besides u never know when something u came up with idly will help u on a project down the road. same reason most novelists ik are proactive journalers, capturing every stray idea makes them workable material for works u cant concieve from where ur sitting right now
>>3mqo3xwzpcu2t
dialogue dub, now heres the rub
vn is post apocalyptic affair. band of crazy bunker misfits gonk u amnesiac in the middle of eastern washington, you learn about why they're such freaks in their own unique ways and maybe even understand them.
book is near future apocalypse, cloud of Gray has swallowed earth whole but for some reason has left 800 antarctic researchers and janitors alone to piddle about in the snow. you may be picking up on a pattern here.

i dig it. post nu pages when u make em i wanna see more monorail motorcycles wit 80's race fairings.
heres a sprite mockup i did for a prototype that's presently dead/cancelled/maybe forever hold. Chara named 'serpentina' who was/is an owner of a alchemist/brothel/casino type joint. from like, few month ago.

i gotta soft-launch my album on atchan you're right
>>3mqqf2zev722f
i was thinking abt atchan as ground zero dissemination. since im utterly disenchanted with mainstream platforms for distro - itch/steam etc- and all the policing - etc shady tos changes - weird vibes - etc could go on and on - but i always felt good abt sharing art on an old forum that was always driven by passion - nerds - and zero corporate or clout hype around it - and ill keep my eyes on atchan
>>3mqo44loj452w
Also working on a little sci fi comic for this zine. Its about interspecies communication and the prohibition of incest and being stuck in a bad marriage with a bunch of kids you hate
>>3mqqj2nlqes2v
atchan is the ground zero... for the 9/11 of our artistic flowering. lets all create together!
>>3mqqn6xeeb22v
the Goated Page omg
ive been thinking abou making a comic about a wheel-and-dealing type of criminal that goes for a bank heist that goes wrong, and in the process of running from the cops they end up hiding inside of a clothes mannequin for 2-3 days straight.. having some kind of psychological episode where they feel like they are being melted down adn formed into a new body, with the mannequin as a mold..
he gets like a vision from god telling him to change as a person, but then leaves the mannequin, immediately going back to scamming robbing,etc - he crashes at his ex gf's place, hears a knock on the door and gets shot when he opens it .. I wanted it to end with the strange ending where it shows the person at the door as guanyin? or matreya? or smthing like that but im afraid the morality play here is too christian rofl
.. ill think about making it or not..!
>>3mqqrsz2c6v2f
just go for it
ive been trying to make music, trying to push myself out of just making loops or riffs or a particular kick sound or whatever and actually arrange stuff into tracks
haven't really gotten anywhere yet but i feel like im learning
>>3mqqcxfqmel26
squeek up, chapters are posted on website as I write https://projectviska.neocities.org/ under stories. frolik about, see what u like.
i've been working towards making a small vn with some of my ocs. i write a lot with them that hasn't seen the light of day and with all the indie vns popping up i wanted to make one too
i've been working on recollecting my lost plug-ins for music production, and started working on a little tune with my little generators. o(￣▽￣)ブ
I need to revise my earlier vn scripts but playing around with my camera and new lenses instead
I've been working on a thing to automatically switch between separate transmit and receive antenna for QRP amateur radio ops, in a solid state and instantaneous manner so that I can operate QSK CW
been a bit slow since I'm in the middle of summer session linear algebra and I only end up having scarce time for it on the weekends, last weekend I was a couple of clicks away from ordering the boards but after running some simulations I found it wasn't switching fast enough (it was taking like a millisecond), goal is for it to me on the order of nanoseconds). the edits to the design are pretty much done, I just need to go through and verify everything again, finish dropping stitching vias, etc
i posted on this board a couple of days ago with a small snippet of something i was working on. well, i think it's mostly finished now, though it still might need a little more mixing. acidy ambienty technoy thing.
depressed and trying to kickstart creativity back up by just putting things on a canvas. im proud of the heron.
