Dec(k)-Month 2: Decker Jam Entries

It's been a hot minute since I posted anything.

Busy with holidays, personal things, winter doldrums.

And more excitingly, jam projects! (One of them had to use the grace period, but we made it.)

The big project, made with Gray-LoFi, is Offerings of the Willow Witch.

A game about looking around a shop full of stuff and maybe, eventually, finding something worth taking with you into the future. We worked hard on this! It's very small in some ways -- playable in one session -- and huge in others (the amount of art and writing we did... haha).

The other one is (the plants are a metaphor).

It's some end-of-year introspection about changing locations on the internet and cultivating bonds. Hopefully this is my last little (public) boo-hoo over a certain website. I just had one more in me, and I needed to start there to put the other stuff I wanted to say in context.

I think my current mission is to rest, catch up with people, play the game I got for christmas (yippee! games!) get back to doodling and making one-off artwork and then slowly chip away at the big projects.

And I'll be back to work on Neocities stuff soon.

It sure is a new year. Hope everyone is doing okay.

November

I have several very dear Polish friends, and something that will be stuck in my head forever is that "November" in Polish is "Listopad".

I think it's a cute sounding word, but also it's pleasantly seasonal for those of us in the northern hemisphere's temperate regions.

"Liście opadają." The leaves are falling.
 



Yeah... I think the only format that works for me for blogging is just short snippets of thoughts on various subjects, once every few weeks.

If I'm lucky, a theme might emerge. But I don't think it did this time. Oh well.

(no subject)

The panic of chasing down contact info has ended.

The long hike of figuring out how to actually be a friend in new places will be underway... um, as soon I've caught my breath. And I have such a huge backlog of interesting posts 'to look at later, when there's time' that I'll probably still be "on cohost" (as in, about a dozen tabs open at a time) for a few more weeks.

I'm aware that in my chost about 'where I'll be next' there's no mention of where I'll be posting art. lol. Because I still don't know. I don't want to join a gallery site! One of the appealing things about making a personal website (whenever I get around to working on it again) is to be able design the way things are displayed -- arrange things differently than gallery sites would, and probably worse than them in every possible way.

But hopefully in some way that lets me organize my thoughts how I want them.

Everything old is new again.

Not sure where I'm ending up with the cohost exodus but some people are heading here and I might want to be here too.

Edit, a day later: I think I'm not going to start being active anywhere else until things are really over, but I am curious who chooses dreamwidth as their destination and I will be checking in here regularly.
