Not much to talk about lately.

Spending most of my time these days doing nothing of importance. Business as usual. I've been slowly working on getting through my growing anime backlog and playing Minecraft, speaking of which, I suppose I should explain why I haven't made any posts about The Rise lately. Well, at that point I was getting pretty bored of that map. Goddamn Project Skywall burnt me out. The sheer scale of the project overwhelmed me, and in hindsight I should've made it smaller. Not to mention that the implementation of biomes on maps created before the update wasn't quite like I envisioned it:
Old part of the map on the left, newly generated part of the map on the right.

So yeah, I pretty much gave up on it. I hate it when I come up with an idea for some grand project, spend too much time overthinking it, and end up giving up before I get anywhere on it. Shit sucks.

  3. YOu should try Skywall on a Survival Multiplayer server. It is much easier to take on megaprojects if you have help.

  4. It's okay to give up. It just means that you learned your mistake and will do better next time.

  5. Megaprojects..

    Well at least you gave it a shot. Who knows may you'll come back to it a year from now or something. I know that's been the case with me.
