I’ve been playing a lot of games recently instead of trying to progress in developing my own little game. I have bought a new game that was or is kind of trendy on instagram lately. It’s called Moon Sweepers, it’s an incremental game where you just sweep de moondust of the moon’s surface. This is a game right up my alley. It’s a stupid task to do while talking with friends on Discord. You get upgrades by selling the dust you collect and there is a small production / automation part in the game.

I’ve been playing a lot of my own modpack lately. It’s still on version 1.0.0 and I’m probably going to have to update it. But for now it’s fine. Making it was very interesting and fun because I hadn’t made a modpack this big before. When I update the modpack I will add quests. The mod for it is already in version 1.0.0 but I hadn’t gotten around to adding the quests and wanted to start playing with my friends so I just uploaded this version.

…

just going to leave it here: I read a lot of other blogs, some of them use 11ty (elevnty) as their static site generator. I might look into that for this site aswel, maybe it’s easier to use than Hugo.

I want to put together a new minecraft modpack. My friends and I have recently tried the modpack FTB skies 2: Aero but I have (as I get with most bigger modpacks) hit a wall of “to much effort”. I like Create modpacks where everything can be done with create if you setup a little factory for it. The FTB skies modpack was quite fun because it has the new Create addon Create Aeronautics and a bunch of mods to support it.

I’ve not worked a lot on the game since the last post, but I have updated my menu buttons to look like proper buttons. I am not 100% satisfied with how they look, mostly because the indication of the selected button is less obvious than I thought it would be. I might need to change the pixelart for them, but it’s a start. It was very interesting to learn and figure out how tiling works to create a button from 3 squares.

Yesterday I worked a bit more with the LÖVE lua framework. I’ve started with a very basic main menu and made a module to use for the gamestate. It’s not much but I think the modules I’m building are a great start.

I’ve also started with some pixelart for the game. Although this isn’t really my thing, I want to make as much as I can myself. It might not be the prettiest but I think I’ll be fine :)

I’ve been thinking about coding a game. I’ve never done this before but it sound fun! LÖVE or love2d looks good and beginner friendly. To be clear, I have not yet tried to make a game with love2d, I have installed it and ran a hello world. I also have read quite some documentation. This does sadly not mean I know where to start. BUT, I have an idea for a game I would like to make so maybe I’ll get there some day.

I haven’t gotten around to adding the content files of this blog to my personal obsidian vault. But once I do I might do a longer post about my obsidian setup. I think it’s quite fun to think about your vault setup and your folder structure compared to the ones of others.

…

Since setting up the couchDB to self host live sync for obsidian. I’ve been working on the structure of my personal vault. I think I might try to figure out a way to add this website’s vault to my personal vault. That way, I only need to have one single vault open.

…

I’ve just set up a couchdb instance to use as database for the selfhost live sync plugin on obsidian so I can sync my personal vault between all my devices. Tested it out on my laptop and phone, it seems to be working as intended :)
