EverEnding DevBlog 85: Construction
It’s remarkable how much time one can spend on developing a game without getting into any goddamn content. I worry that maybe I’m doing this wrong, but I also kind of don’t think it matters. I’ll get better as I…

Diversion
They say we’re getting better at multitasking, that being raised on modern technology teachers us to look in many directions at once, perform many tasks simultaneously. Is it really possible to do two things at once, or are we instead…

EverEnding DevBlog 82: Editorial Control
Phew, this has been a busy week – but, at the end of it, a ton of progress has been made! First, the image browser is now perfectly functional. Here’s what it looks like: By typing into the filter box…
