An Update

It's been a while since I gave an update. Well, here's one.

Soccer Story a little less than 100,000 words long now. For some perspective, that's about as long as your standard novel. It's a bit hard to estimate since much of the writing has been moved over to a word document, but the important thing is that it isn't even close to feeling polished, done, or even at a working state. I've slowed down development on it to gather my thoughts about the project. I'm dissatisfied with the simulation aspect in a couple of ways. While it is sophisticated as far as a text project goes, it's feels quite *random*, and I'm really not sure what to do about it right now.

More recently, I have been working on a demo game for Simpler AIF. I won't be releasing much info about it, except that it is in a genre I have little experience in, so it's an experiment. I am, however, planning on doing my own hand-drawn art for it, contingent on whether I'm still able to produce anything worthwhile. There was actually a time I was an okay artist, but it was by intuition and practice rather than training, and it has suffered unused for a while. My skill at art has always been correlated with my boredom at the time and, since graduating from university and entering jobs that would fire me for doodling, I've hardly laid a pen to paper. That must change.

If I do manage to draw something that doesn't look like a graphite turd, I will post a teaser here.
