Welcome

Success for indie games falls into two categories: Personal success Sacrifice For the first part I think success right now is the following: DONE: Releasing the game on steam. TODO: Make the CRG better, and work though the road map for features and content. TODO: Learn more code and skills to develop the other game ideas. For the second part, the sacrifices for this indie journey have been: Time Money Weekends Late nights Free time Stress of unknown The process of learning is by failing and that is hard What really stands out is that success takes time....

When playing Civ 1, Civ 5 I use these strategies: Unlock the Wheel and Chariots and play as Rome and take over the world. Turtle for a long time and focus on Research/Tech then take over the world. Early Expansion and then hold till end game with Space Ship. Play as Rome in Civ 1 and take over world. Play as England in Civ 1 and turtle the whole game. If I were the game developer for Civ and could alter Civ 1, I would like more options to play in Modern era and not have to have that be end came content....

I haven’t learned alot of Godot lately, so I need to start studding again. But I am looking forward to learning about Pixel Art animation and building a 2D adventure game on GameDevTV. The main things I want to learn are: Creating mini games for CRG game engine Creating a cat game where 2D cats move around and there is a story to their adventures Animation via Aseprite Also include plants or gardening in it somehow Anyway, looking forward to more storytelling, learning new skills and game development....

One thing I want to do is capture long form audio and video of places on the mountain. It will just be nature sounds and nothing else. One reason I want to do this is that it would be neat to have this as a looping video to watch. The other reason is to capture all the seasons, so you can have a record of what it sounds like for each season....

Finally joined the Masters swim team at 6:30AM. Couple reasons I joined: Nice to get exercise done and out of the way. I only know crawl and back strokes, so will be nice to learn more and get better. Nice leader and people to meet. Some reasons its going to be hard: They swim really fast and its really hard to do flip turns. Its early, and with the time zone change… its going to be dark again in the morning....
