Notes for this day

09:59

I have been making progress in my Quake mapping efforts, really starting to get the hang of this and alot of ideas are flowing in. The final goal here is to make one map that is of the level of quality that I can release it on some modding sites. I want it to be like an escape room thing, and on easy difficulty there will be no enemies. On other difficulties I’ll add something to shoot (want to explore custom enemy types, but still try to keep the scope of this small).

I’ve also started working on an EP, that will be my instrumental punk album. So far I’ve done drum tracks for one song, this week I’ll try to finish of the basslines. The plan is to keep going if I can make at least one song that makes sense and comes close to what I have in my head. Dream would be if I can do 3 songs and then I’ll release it as an EP on archive.org.

One other sideproject that I really want to finish off this year, is to make an interactive fiction game - in the style of Infocom, with a dash of Andrew Plotkin. I just read a fantasic interview with Andrew by the Digital Antiquarian, highly recommended.
