Somehow I've ended up with all of these different projects that involve a nigh-infinite amount of work, it seems... I've got Rhythm Quest, of course, which it's felt good to sink more time into. I still have nothing exciting to show for it, but work is work. I've been doing a bunch of performance improvements and refactors, among other things, which is all invisible work but it feels great seeing how the game runs at a solid smooth framerate on Switch now, even on the later levels, which it wasn't doing before. Then I've got the ALTTPR site, which has a billion things of its own to dig into and work on. You'd think that after doing all the pages in Eastern Palace I'd either start covering more of the other dungeons, or just continue my work on Ganon's Tower, but no...I'm back at working on Eastern Palace, lol. Not only did I find some frame saves in the map chest room, but I'm starting to want to compile not only strats but organized timing data for each room in the dungeon, which I can =then= use to create concrete numbers and charts around dungeon efficiency and timings. All stuff that will be super exciting to see, but of course it goes slowly when it's just all me doing everything myself...well, at least I managed to integrate a nice table plugin and a chart renderer. It feels cool knowing that I can build a slick and well-crafted site by myself! I sent off my Vote Forward letters (only did 40 so far) already, but I still have a whole lot of postcards to send out for Postcards to Swing States. I slapped on about 100 stamps earlier today as I was hanging out with my housemates, but there's a lot more addressing to do there. In less than a month I'm going to be hopefully starting on my annual Christmas letters, too. I just looked it up and Ludum Dare is in a month, too, ha ha ha. I've not really paid LD any attention for the past years, and it looks like this one is probably going to be no different just based on the timing, but at some point it would be nice to do another one of them again, maybe (?). The good thing about all of it is that like, yeah, I'm really built for this kind of thing where you just have to keep on working steadily at the same stuff over and over again and accumulate efforts over long swaths of time. That's supposed to be my biggest strength and all that. And when I think about how I've also got a pixel artwork to do at some point in the month, and then some other letters to write, and stuff like that, somehow I'm still at the capacity where I'm like "yeah, ok, let's do this, let's go". It's good.
