Hi,

I hadn't made an update in awhile and I've been running kinda hot right now in terms of productivity so I figured I'd update you.

Post mortem Castle Crashing the Beard

This game was so well received! I thought maybe it was lame that we spent so long re-doing a game and that people would be like meh. But it captures the nostalgia and also adds some fun new elements and art into the game. It's been pretty rewarding to read and see the feedback, i can probably speak for Nick, and Asha for that also.

Pico Day!

I worked on a lil gif for it, decided to take a break from pixel and go back to my roots. I used an unusual frame rate, and I quite like how it turned out. i think when i look back at the darnell breakdancing gif i did in early 2020, i can start to appreciate the evolution of my understanding of momentum and when to use alot of frames and when to not. It's still a work in progress but its fun to kick around.

Other stuff

I started doing some freelance stuff in addition to my job. Mostly web design stuff, I'm still working on a few but its kind of a fun break from animation, and also my real work stuff. I briefly thought of getting a part time job as a bartender, on top of my freelance and my full time job but i think i'd completely burn out if I did that.

Community stuff

Kudos to ninjamuffin for making it to the top guy on the website! I know his game completely blew up both figuratively and literally on this website, and it feels good when something like that happens to someone so interested in the community and concept of this website. I still snap him stupid shit and vice versa, so i'd like to think no matter what happens he's still annoying ass Cam to me.

That's it, I'm working on a new gif thingie, I started it just 30 mins ago actually. Probably won't be done for a few weeks. Probably going back to pixels. We'll see.
