Wonderful!

You and Luis make a great team. I'm 16 and I still haven't color sorted my legos. Props to you and your boy. Seemed like a productive year for ya.

I'm glad Luis and I ended up finding each other, it's a good fit and I love the process of working with him and the quality of what we make. It's a painless and fun experience every time.

Love updates like this from you! Years ago we attempted to sort our legos into small labelled drawers, it worked well for a while but fell into disarray over time.

Curious about The Way of Kings now, I might have to read that next! I've been reading the Giants series from the 70s at the moment, it starts with Inherit the Stars.

Our Lego sorting has definitely degraded over time... we got bins and big gallon zip locks to store each color and those go in the under-couch/bed drawers mentioned earlier in my post. It's been a fairly good system, but entropy is slowly taking its toll.

Brandon Sanderson (Way of Kings) is a really good author, especially when it comes to magic systems that make "sense" and have internally-consistent logic. When Robert Jordan died, Sanderson was chosen by Jordan's wife to finish the last book in the Wheel of Time series.

I hadn't heard about the "Giants" series, but definitely adding it to my list now!

@TomFulp @BoMToons I started reading Way of Kings, it was pretty interesting! Huge books though!

Yeah, the books are super intimidating on their own... and then the fact that they're part of a giant SERIES of similar books is even more crazy!

I've had alot of people asking me about that ax game both in toronto and at short short fest and too many games, i really need to get back up and running with that, i intend to for back to school i think. I'd love one weekend where I have nothing going on... soon though.

Yeah, I'm actually coming up to a good time to unpack that project again. One new development there is that we've been playing with adding sound fx to the axe-throwing experience and this game might be the perfect "first testbed" for that extra functionality. Blood splat sounds would be awwwweeeessssooome!

Amazing!

Very of le magnific!!!

Sounds like a really productive year! Awesome to see what you've been up to, motivates me to try and squeeze some more productivity out of my hours.

I don't feel super productive, but doing a retrospective like this lets me cherry-pick enough to make it seem like it! ;-)

How's Signy and Mino coming along? Looking sweet from what I've seen on Twit... er... X!

@BoMToons It's coming along well, but maybe a little slower than I'd like. That's gamedev though!

i would kill your freking beard
