i've kinda thrown out a buncha project ideas, and sometimes people ask how those are going, so (partly for my own sake too) i felt like listing most of them out! note that people don't actually ask most of these, i'm just putting these out there in case there's someone interested, since i expect most people don't really ask directly to avoid seeming rude.
Where's DracoFighter 2?
i've talked about this on my dev twitter, but i am currently working on DracoFighter 2. other than my NDA project, this is my current main project! i don't have an engine for DF2 yet, so it's mainly asset work, but since this was about 50% of the workload for DF1, this is very important work.
my generous estimate is for DF2 to be finished within 3 years. since i plan this to be a pretty big release, i'm being more secretive about what i reveal and when i reveal it, so if i'm dead silent on social media i'm either working on DF2 or i'm busy with irl stuff lol
Are you updating DracoFighter 1?
short answer, not really. i planned to add rollback, but after researching, i found out that it would require essentially redoing the entire engine, which is why i'm just saving that for DF2. i'm planning on going back sometime to do minor edits to DF1 (removing the one infinite and finishing secret character sprites), but it's not a huge priority for me, + it's a big pain in the butt to update the game due to the different versions.
Where's SonaPartment?
i make SonaPartment comics when i have ideas, and it's been a big dry well for me at the moment. people will sometimes offer up ideas but that's not really what i'm looking for, since it's a personal thing where i want the joke to resonate with me. the comic will most likely never update as regularly as before, but i hope to come up with 1 or 2 more story arcs later on.
Where's your art?
most of my art effort is being poured into DF2 sprites rn, so i don't have much time/effort for personal art that isn't just silly doodles (though i do love making those). it'll resume when things line up again.
Are your commissions open?
i'm at that awkward point where people ask for commission slots more often than i actually have them open, so as a result i've mostly been doing them under the table for people who ask first and never publicly opening commission slots (which is unfortunate, because this is the exact opposite of the situation i wanted for commissioners). i also don't really have a central place to open commission slots ever since twitter went down, so i'm not sure what to do about this issue?? i don't think i'll be publicly opening for a while, not unless i happen to really need money or happen to have a lot more free time.
Where's Demon's Heir 3D?
i really wanna finish this game at some point, but it's being out-prioritized by DracoFighter, and it honestly involves a lot of parts of game development that i just don't find very fun. i'm still very invested in finishing it for lore reasons, though.
What about [insert any other game here]?
all my other unfinished games are either on hold for some vague future or likely abandoned. for example, i really want to finish Otto the Otter -at some point-, but it'll have to be after DracoFighter 2, which means there'll be no news for it for like, 3 years at least. you are 100% free to ask about specific games if you're curious.
Are you making more Ido videos/content?
i lost interest in Ido while finishing up my video series, unfortunately. my only aim for the beginner series was to introduce people to it and give them the tools to learn it on their own. if you're interested in Ido, make some content of your own!!
Are you making more conlang content?
i've wanted to make video tutorials for conlangs that don't have them on youtube yet (primarily Elefen and Mini-Linga), but progress has been stalling for many reasons. i'll finish them at some point, but i think the only way it's happening is if they're less well-researched since that means it'll take less time lol. i'm less worried about making minor mistakes for these languages because they have very well-documented and easy-to-access resources that can correct me, unlike Ido.
also, there are absolutely 0 future plans for kaliwe lol. i finished all the resources i wanted to (finished document, story, translator, etc.), so its future use will probably be solely for ube's speech in future canon content.
Are you making canon OC content?
this is very low priority, so i only do it when the stars align for motivation and time... i have written a few short stories for fidget, but that's about it. there is no canon content planned for any of my other OCs that aren't for video games, including pluck whose story can essentially be considered cancelled at this point. making a long-running comic with a linear storyline is definitely too ambitious with my current set of projects LOL
Where's [insert OC here]?
you'll have to ask about the specific OC for me to have an answer, but for 90% of them the answer is either "i haven't had any inspiration for them" or "i'm focused on other OCs at the moment" or "i have things planned but don't have the time", while the last 10% is the "i have legitimately forgotten about them" đź’€
Are you making gamedev tutorials?
i really wanted to make a tutorial going over Godot basics but it never really came together. otherwise, i don't have much desire to make video tutorials on game development, design, or programming, even though it's my main study, and i can't really explain why! i think the main reason is that i don't feel like i can add much to the discussion that hasn't already been said by other people more detailed and succinctly on youtube, where gamedev info is most visible. i will make an article or shortform video here and there about a single concept that really stands out to me, but that's most likely it.
Are you making a followup to [insert old Youtube video here]?
no matter the subject there is like a 99.99999% chance i will not, but this is ironically one of the most asked questions on this list (it's only ironic because anyone who asks will probably never see this post). i do want to make more youtube art tutorials at some point, but they'll probably be unrelated to the existing videos.
Where's the next Egg Hut episode?
don't talk to me
