Note: I had a concussion Sunday (March 9) and outpatient surgery Tuesday (March 11), so if I’m not tracking well, that’s why. (If this is a mild concussion, I don’t want to know what a bad one is like…)
Recently accomplished:
- Defold: working through tutorials. I’m intrigued by MatchaNovel! The demo (runs in your browser) is super helpful.
- Godot 4.4: Working through Godot 4 Game Development Projects, 2nd ed. by Chris Bradfield. I know printed books date quickly in the realm of coding and are…difficult to update, but I prefer to have a paper reference I can mark up and look at.
- Research reading: cryptology, steganography; number theory; game design; paper crafts and papert arts; typography.
Yesterday, what brought me cheer while recovering from surgery was the arrival of the first part of A Fancy Edition of Shing Yin Khor‘s The Bird Oracle.
The tea, phoenix teacup/saucer, and Bonne Maman jam were stuff I brought out, not included! Also, a weirdly appropriately liminal casting with my own oracle set based on the game.
Hope all’s well; I may be scarce for a bit, and/or posting randomly about things like energy market intelligence analysis or pianos while I recover.
Yours in calendrical heresy and birds,

I hope you get better soon!
My teacher (professional game dev, artist, game designer), recommended some books and this was the one I want to get: Will Eisner: Graphic Storytelling and Visual Narrative. It is not aimed at games, but same principles apply.

Hello, Arren! That looks terrific! Agreed that graphic novels/sequential art storytelling / visual narrative / design principles are a terrific resource. 😀 I’ve paged through a copy; I think my library has it. And thank you for the kind thoughts!
