After a long period of languishment, Ascension III has been formally cancelled. A full explanation, along with some background and reflection, is in the devlog here. In short, I’ve lost interest in Ascension III, the Ascension series, and long projects in general, and after setting it aside for a while I have no plans to… Read more »
2020 was… a thing. Let’s talk about what happened, what didn’t, and what’s next. I’m not going to wax rhetorical on the past year. There have been a lot of terrible and unexpected happenings and some seriously bad vibes, but this is fundamentally a project blog, and that’s what this post is about. Almost a… Read more »
I know I’ve missed at least a month, probably more like two, but it’s been a hectic, confusing past few months. I think that goes for just about everyone. So what’s been happening over here? Ascension III is still kind of stalled. I’m no longer planning to work on the sometimes-mentioned Frangis vertical slice demo… Read more »

The new demo is basically just a rollup, incorporating both the previous Island and Dragon demos as well as the… Read more »
As I’d expected, June was a messy month. I managed to get a little work done on CommonCore and some miscellaneous projects, but nothing really noteworthy. I started documenting CommonCore, finally, but that’s a long and ongoing project. So Bad It’s Good Jam 2020 happened near the end of the month, and I spent a… Read more »

Wow, is it already May? I was thinking about how I was going to have to do a progress update soon… and then two weeks just blew by! Things have been very strange lately, as I think just about everyone can attest. I went into April with grand plans, and then spent most of it… Read more »
March has been an eventful month. I’ve had plenty of opportunity to stay shut in and work on projects, but the whole situation has kind of thrown me for a loop and because of that it’s been a mixed bag as far as projects go. I managed to get some work done on Ascension III… Read more »
February was definitely a slower month for Ascension III. It’s been a good month for other projects, and I’ll get into that at the end of this post, but it was a slower month for Ascension III. I have packaged up and released a new demo of Ascension III, finally, which you can grab from… Read more »
As promised, the first progress update of 2020! This one is just about Ascension III, because that’s what I worked on, but I might mix things up and do general progress updates later in the year. I was finally able to get to implementing some of the changes based on feedback from when I demoed… Read more »
