It's another Friday Ramble. Happy Friday. This was not a productive week.

Not Game Dev Stuff

Open enrollment for health insurance is going on, and in completely unrelated news, I offer a wide variety of goods for sale on my merchandise shop and Steam storefront.

I got sick with another cold and didn't do a lot of work. Lots of virii going around these days. That's the beauty of human connection and living within a society.

Game Dev/Cool New Bag Stuff

So I can do easier story writing, I've added two debug menus. One is for setting flags and the other is for jumping to a different dialogue node. It should be helpful when I actually have flags to set and dialogue nodes to jump to.

Otherwise, the creative process has been a lot of staring into empty space and writing down things and then erasing them and then writing them down again. I've written down a lot of parts that are funny individually but the challenge is to combine them into a cohesive whole. That being said, I didn't actually write much this week because I spent most of my time sick in bed. I watched Steam Cube videos and finished reading Dune Messiah. Apparently Denis Villeneuve's movie adaptation of this book (Dune: Part 3) has already wrapped filming. Can't believe I spoiled the movie's plot for myself.

The Fanatical "Build Your Own Story-Rich Bundle" is ending in less than a week. It's a good way (maybe only way) to grab an Endless Monday Steam Key.

The End

Normally when I have this little to say, I just post the Ramble a little later during the weekend or something, but this weekend I'm just gonna take it easy, maybe spend some more time in bed. I'll make up for it next week though, I promise. Assuming I feel better.

Thanks for your support, as always!
