This year has been mostly indoors for me for... reasons, so not much on the real life category happened. But it did allow me to be really productive with my projects.
Real Life Stuff
Fan-game & programming related stuff
Stuff I Didn't Do
Plans For 2022
Real Life Stuff
- Continued my tradition of taking daily walks as much as I could. I'm quite skinny already, but I mostly do it since walks are also very good for the mind.
- Went to visit a ton of areas with gorgeous nature throughout the years, including those in other countries. Yes, the Netherlands can be beautiful despite being flat
- Became yet another year older
Fan-game & programming related stuff
- Released the 1.0 of Yoshi's Fabrication Station, my Yoshi's Island level editor, at the start of the year
This is also what the majority of my productivity went towards this year.
- Released 2 major updates for the editor during the rest of the year, focusing on YI essentials & palettes.
- Made Yoshi's Gameland, which was my first jam game, and therefore way too ambitious. It was supposed to have Yoshi team up with other gaming icons. It did end up with 2 completed levels however, featuring Kirby!
- Made Shark Chomp Run for the recently completed winter jam, which was a ton simpler than my previous jam game, but it allowed me to focus and polish the gameplay really well. It is an endless runner where Mario or Toad is being chased by a huge Chomp!
- Made a Discord bot for sharing levels made in Yoshi's Fabrication Station and Super Mario 127, and acts as a placeholder until our level sharing website is complete.
- Made a bunch of Yoshi's Island levels! 10 in total, to be exact!
Stuff I Didn't Do
- Finish the website intended for sharing SMC, YFS and SM127 levels. I really want to at least launch the 1.0 in 2022!
Plans For 2022
- Give my older Mario level editor a major overhaul. It's very rusty right now!
- Ship at least 2 more major updates for YFS.
- Stay hyped for the holiday season of the year. Sonic Frontiers and Mario Movie... 2 products that will either be really good or really bad. Either way, it's gonna be a great season.
