Year Three

I already mentioned this last year, but as that post was two months late, this project was technically part of this year. Although I didn't do much after the last update, I did implement a hex mode for example. Not much, but something.

Yes, this year I did not work on Embers' Construct. Interestingly, a port for 1.20 is currently in the works, so I'll keep an eye on that. Besides that, I did do experiment with a Create addon as mentioned in the Create Embers post. I recently got motivated to dive deeper in the whole shebang, maybe I try again.

Of course I dabbled around with the bot, nothing new here. As mentioned in the posts of december, I took part in the Advent of Code 2022 but failed again. Well, I still have hope, maybe this year, but don't expect much.

I did create a Snapchat Lens and tried things with Snap AR. Although it is really intriguing, the whole workflow definitely wasn't mine. I'm the kind of guy who wants to code everything by himself and when I am forced to use a really outdated version of JS, I just give up lol.

I did start to port an old LG game to the Godot Engine. It's less a port, more like a total recode of course. I just mention this here although I am pretty sure I won't fully commit as creating the levels note by note is really time consuming. In the meantime enjoy some of the gameplay I recorded.

The best part last: I started porting the website to Next.js 13 and the app directory and I'm almost finished. I used this opportunity to clean up a lot of things, but mostly CSS and layouts. I can visit the staging page if you want.

Yep, the last year wasn't definitely not that interesting if you measure it with what I have done with my projects, but my personal life has been quite turbulent, which is probably the reason for a lack of projects.

But I also have done other things too of course, like playing video games. After long time I finally finished Yakuza 0 and I can only say: play it, it's amazing! After this I also played through Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2 and now I working my way through Yakuza 3. Definitely an amazing franchise. Later this month Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty gets released and I will definitely replay the game when that happens.

That's it. See you at the next post, maybe at AoC in december or at the year recap next year, who knows, I might even post something else.
