Ok so I’ve been thinking of this for the last month on what my general current future plans are and if I’m still planning to do the Gameplay Analysis Project. So currently I’m at a point on my game where I can realistically see when I can put out a demo for the game (meaning it’s playable for multiplayer). By the end of the year (if not early next year) I should be able to implement weapon damage against players and stats for weapons in general, and a couple gamemodes. I’ve been mainly working on the character animations, inventory system, replication, and a bunch of bugs/issues that I’ve needed to overcome/research. Main menu/server browser might take a little longer but we’ll see since I cant properly put a timeframe on how long things are gonna take.

But those things weren’t what the blog title proclaimed. So as of now I’m currently gonna save up as much income as a can and try something that might fuck me in the end or be completely beneficial which is; currently I’m on centrelink for people that don’t know and yes I’ve got a lot of time already on my hands as it is, but their annoyance is very notorious and it’s been fucking up my vibe. So when I feel financially comfortable doing so, I’m going to take a risk and live off my income for 6 or more months. But in saying that, I do need to find something eventually. So within that timeframe of saving money, I should have a decent enough build of my game to actually be worth while (playable but also still very early) and something to give people the indication of hope and understanding of how much game dev actually means to me.

I’m sure I’ve said this many times but I don’t care if this game/franchise takes 10 years, 20 years, shit even when I’m an old cunt at 60 (36 years). I want to truly make this game that we all wanted/dreamed of or even something that was beloved in a game beforehand but has been forgotten. I hope by sacrificing all this could bring some enlightenment and trust from everyone as for me wanting to continue doing what I love but also wanting to contribute into non-incompetent game development unlike what we’re seeing today, I was looking into options for people to support my work by either kickstarter or just general donations (not sure currently). I wanted to prove myself first though that I am capable in making a game for a start but also not look like a sellout without consequence. So I’m willing to put it on the line for the greater good for game development. I don’t really have a life to begin with so not much will change financially after this if I need to rely on centrelink again lmao.

Btw for those that come at me with that dole bludger, skimming off workers tax bullshit; “All these haters can suck my dick cause honestly that's the only way you'll ever succeed”. Seriously stop shooting down my life and focus on your own. I didn’t make make the system, the system made me.

And for the Gameplay Analysis Project, I’ve been thinking if I’m held up doing this “work for the dole phase” (btw I can do a course instead of slave labour), then I’ll be starting that til that phase is done. Which would put me into a position where my schedule is kinda split than what I’m used to. Considering that they’ll get me to wake up early morning and since I dont do well with insufficient amount of sleep with my current schedule (wake up at 9-10am, sleep 1-2am) with the days they give me (which would be around 4-5 days a week). Those days I can do Gameplay Analysis Project and the weekends can be for game dev cause honestly I hate feeling tired and not be in the mood because of it. I’m not that bad though, like if it’s not 100% distracting me to make me fall into bed than I’m fine but for me most of the time; a couple hours, hell even an hour can make a difference in my day. All of my high school days I was sleep deprived and still didn’t get used to it.

Once the bullshit WFTD phase is over, I was thinking of continuing Gameplay Analysis Project for a month on and off so that gives me equalized concentrated time for both. But whilst doing the Project I’ll still plan on doing game dev for a couple days a week to keep things pushing forward.

Been playing the new BF2042 update and yep.. game is still shit. New map is dogshit and it kinda put a bad taste in my mouth playing the game in general now. Cause in AU region everyone is gonna be playing this 24/7 playlist and nothing else which I just cant right now til it’s gone. So I’ve been playing ark with my brother. Bit interesting coming back into it. Very chill but grindy game. We’re playing our own server with my brothers kids and his co-workers. Pretty fun. One thing I do appreciate on what ark does, is how much progression there is in the game. But it still has shit netcode lmao, so it’s double edge sword like the MW22 weapon system... (ha…… kill me).

For anyone that keeps up-to-date reading this (which I doubt anyone has), appreciation from me is tenfold.
