Welcome to the 70th devlog for Cosmic Construct, which based on my recent activity has been more of a devlog of my personal projects than the game. Sorry about that, just in a spout of being burnt out working in it, as its been the better part of a year and a half.
To follow the game's progress you can join me at:

Also Wishlist Cosmic Construct on Steam and follow it's steam page.

Pawn AI
Not much was done on this. I try to open game maker to work on it, and after about an hour I get tired of looking at it an want to move on do doing something else. Definitely diagnosed ADHD, not much I can do about that other than come back to it later. Hope you forgive me.
Side Projects
I used Google AIStudio to vibe code an application to generate the title text of the volume covers for my books. This isn't "AI Image Generation" like just exporting some weighted model, but it is "AI Generated" in a way, if you count the code. The concept of the cover design was mostly mine, with a pulp style I've been into recently. I think the text generates pretty and fits across
I don't have a cover artist, nor can I afford one. So, I'll have to do with these generated background images. Its a real shame. I do eventually plan on printing and distributing the books through self publishing. I put a couple copies in some of those Little Free Library boxes you see around major cities. I'll also submit a copy or two to our local library system.
I finished another chapter of the book, and its up on Royal Road. It's a fun story.

Again I'll say pawn AI until its eventually done.
