So I haven't made a post for a while, nor did I end up submitting anything for all of 2014 despite my hopes of having at least one submission a year. I can't say I'm too happy about that; the me from 1.5 years ago had expected myself to get in the hang of things of by now, but the reality is that there's a lot to learn. This is a good thing though! I've been learning a lot in the past while, be it through Ludum Dare attempts or picking up new frameworks/languages & tools, and even though I haven't finished anything lately I feel as though I've grown a lot. It also just so happens that Real Life Events (i.e. university) have been a huge help as well; I don't want to delve too much into it but I will say that I'm ridiculously fortunate to be working on some cool software/gamedev projects, none of which will see the light of day on NG but have/could have a life of their own elsewhere, and they're definitely helping me become a better developer.
So, to whoever ends up reading this, know that I'm not just sitting around! My submission activity may be sparse but I hope to change that in the coming years.
