#016 - It Was an Adventure!

 Hello everybody! Today, I went up to the mountains with a few real-world folks I know. We tried going to one place. No luck there. An hour and a half after leaving my house, we went driving elsewhere for food. I got a delectable BLT sandwich. Yes, DillWaters, I just can't let that go years later. Anyway, we then walked around the small modern village, looking at various stores. One was an antique shop that had an old book called Pictorial Encyclopedia of Railways by Hamilton Ellis from 1968. It used to be a library book because it had a card with the list of people who checked it out; all were from the 70s. It was a really neat find, but unfortunately, the folks were asking a bit too much for it since I can find the book online for about 5-10$. Truth be told, I might purchase it elsewhere, or the revised version from 1976 assuming that it has been updated. with new content. There were a fair amount of major railway advancements between 1968 and 1976.

After visiting the shops, we tried tracking down snow a little more but failed to do so. Without any major success, we went home. There was just one big challenge between the mountain and our homes though: total darkness with thick fog. The folks in the back were really panicking, but I had confidence in our driver. :3 In the end, all four of us made it back down the mountain safely and I was able to get a few pictures and videos throughout the day. I think it went well. Upon being home, I got more done on game development stuff (because I need to get the next update video out tomorrow due to being busy Thursday and later) while also chilling in the general voice call on Milli's primary Discord server.

Today was a good day, but it is now time to catch my ZZZs. Tomorrow, I shall get that block selection menu added to Boxel Voxels, despite procrastinating on it. Thank you all for reading. Bye!

#131 - Minecraft Parodies Like It's 2014

 Hello everybody! Looks like I'm back at it again writing another post. Know what I've been doing? Listening to old Minecraft songs and parodies, primarily from 2012-2014. I remember these well from my early years of Minecraft. But as I sit here today, I realize 2014 was eleven years ago. Time really goes zoom when you're not looking. Anyway, I've been listening to ThnxCya's Love, Lost and Found  EP that was released this past summer. There's some pretty cool stuff on there, including demos and unreleased songs I never heard before. He never made too many songs (like ZexyZek or Minecraft4Meh) so it's real easy to get through all of his for both Minecraft and Call of Duty. I've also been listening to Phantaboulous's songs, and as much as I enjoy them, it bothers me so much that he had two CDs being sold all the way until 2021-ish. It wasn't until 2023 that I decided I wanted to buy them. Makes me mad that I had 7-8 years to acquire both CDs, but n...

#135 - The Lor(e) Party

 Hello everybody! I was recently gifted a copy of The Lost Subways of North America , which I've been wanting to acquire for a while. It's a great book, but my Notch it gets tiring to hold because of how large it is. I was gifted it around the same time as Look Who's Back  and  Evangelion 3.0 + 1.11 . With that aside, time to update y'all on my Content Warning DVD. I haven't started it yet  but I do at least have all the videos ready to go, including one to be used for the main menu background. Hopefully I get to play more tomorrow (more on that later) but anything new will be added to the next DVD, alongside some other recordings that didn't have to be on the first disc. I've still be playing some Crab Champions, but not as much. I have this one run that's been going a good 16 hours or so and oh boy, I'm looking forward to starting something new at this point. I'm already close to Island 550. Tomorrow, May 31st will be a big day for me. My YouTu...

#132 - Capes Galore

 Hello everybody! Today Mojang started bringing over Bedrock Edition exclusive capes to Java. Currently, the Founders and Pan Cape were copied with the possibility of the Progressive Cape as well. It'd be nice if they also brought Java capes over to Bedrock because I would like if my Minecon 2016 were available on Bedrock. We shall see as time passes and more capes roll out. Anyway, I've been working a lot on my silly little triangle game. I finally bit the bullet and implemented community level loading. It took a whole lot of logical reasoning and going through every possible solution of what didn't  work. Eventually, I was able to export the level of the dedicated editor project and load that level in the main game itself. Now that the system works, I'll be able to take advantage of the Steam Workshop in the future so that people can easily share or download through there. The game is split into three primary components. First, there is the Living Shapes Engine. This ...
