This week was bad I had serious mental fog and had even more distractions than usual I have family that want help with a house they just bought, family that's getting me into 40k tabletop even though I swore not to get more hobbies (tyranids because I always liked dinos) also raising baby chickens again even though I swore I wouldn't until I had my own house (closest living relative to trex btw).
So I made a little headway on the end of the game like I wanted, Unfortunately I had big issues getting my demo and main game reviewed by steam and both ended up getting rejected. This was completely my fault I literally made all the same mistakes as the last time I put a game on steam and also didn't realize until today I can actually check if it works on my own beta store witch cold have saved a ton of time. I also spent a bunch of time playing the game for balancing and fixing little bugs as always.
For the week ahead it is more of the same - save system, end game, balance, some more items, and GET THE DEMO WORKING!
I think I have basically pushed my willpower to the brink and have started planning to let myself play some games for a little while once Ferulorum is released, I hate to say it as I should try new games but what I want most is to play dwarf fortress and if I can single-player offline old school runescape. The last time I played a game I believe was Pokémon crystal last winter, I've also been working on the design document for top secrete project Chamoisee-Canvasback.
So that's all for this week I'm super tired hopefully we all do better next week
