The drawings done for the March Hotel Event

2026-04-03T03:30:00.000-07:00

The March hotel was a fun little community event that was
put together by Naka and crew.

It was a discord Group that featured a Virtual hotel that was ruled by the Golden Goblin
where you had to do drawings every day else you got kicked out.

I had quite the enjoyable time.
I had originally intended to do animation every day, but that got way too much.

It featured practices such as:
Drawing gestures, boxes, characters and Things around the hotel as a Whole.

But, all Things come to an end, and as the hotel closed Down, we all got kicked out.

Here's all the drawings done.

The year of 2024

2024-12-31T06:16:00.000-08:00

What did I do in the year of 2024 that I shall remember:

I exercised everyday. The length of my run distance has increased. Also introduced some new workouts into the mix to get some variation.

I was able to DM and participate in other groups of DnD and pathfinder. (also some sessions of Cyberpunk.)
I unfortunately had to stop a forum based roleplay because no one had any interest in it anymore.

Artistic:
I was able to upload to some comics for The Game, but was unable to keep it up during the rest of the year.

Did draw some other things in my giant sketchbook, but that's just practice really.

I attempted a 100 days of pose sketch challenge, and then another one.

Gathering a youtube following is harder than I thought.
I sometimes find it hard to concentrate on learning new things.

I watched the following anime with the animeclub (local friendgroup)

Knights of Sidonia: Space opera, war against aliens, cgi. I enjoyed it.

Sarazanmai: Three boys gets turned into Kappa. Weird anime, but wholesome in that it makes people talk about their feelings.

Cells at work: Enjoyable slice of life, except it is your body.

Serial Experiments Lain: Didn't vibe with this one.

Bofuri season 1 and 2: Season 1 is better. It has some lighthearted fun.

Vinland Saga: Viking violence and pursuit of vengeance. Do recommend.

Ranma 1/2: Boy gets turned into girl when exposed to water. Funny lighthearted.

Mononoke: An interesting look into japanese monsters. Very visually interesting.

Other anime I saw with friends:
Re:princess connect: I just enjoy this one.
Gungale online: Also fun
Dandadan: Idiots on adventure, high energy comedy and action.

Games I played:
Through Steam:

Astera Six-Sided Oracles: Rogue lite, card dealing, dice throwing. (Fun)

Beholder: Rent out apartments, Sell out your tenants (A harsh look into what it would be to live in a stalinesque time period)

Cultist Simulator: A mix between an idle and active game. Not quite my vibe.

Disco Elysium: Drunk cop simulator. Recommend.

Figment 2: Creed Valley: Metaphor for your mind. It has a nice look. I like the songs in it.

Heretics fork: Rogue stationary shooter? It has an interesting art style.

Indigo Park: Fun little demo of horror park. The mascot is the main interest.

Mahokenshi: Alright deckbuilder. Made my computer go WRRRRRRYYYY

Starship troopers: Cool strategy, story just ends. Satisfying gameplay, unsatisfying conclusion.

Sticky Business: cute stuff. Not my thing.

Warhammer 40 000: Gladius: Hex based strategy akin to civ. A bit meh.

The werecleaner: This one had a fun concept.

Zoeti: Another deck builder. It was alright.

Through Epic:

Controlling thoughts and actions through a comic book.
Short game. I liked the mechanics.

You are hanging out with your family on a rainy day.
Short game. Talk with people. Interact with objects.

Evil Overlord version 1.00

2021-03-26T17:02:00.001-07:00

https://www.mediafire.com/file/yqnkyyk1gudb0v4/EvilOverlord_Version101.exe/file

Version 1.01

I fixed a lot of bugs.

I'm planning two expansions.
One is called Rebellion.
"Former allies of the Overlord, they went into hiding when he fell. They have a hate towards humans and may or not fight against Heir depending on their choices."
I have some ideas here, but if you want to pitch in, it'd be cool.

Second expansion:
Invasion.
A kingdom newly formed rarely stays safe. Like vultures to a corpse, kingdoms outside out of the empire are thinking about settling old scores and take a bite out of the newly formed lands of Heir.
Throw me your ideas.
