EverEnding DevBlog, September 2020 – Grass
At the conclusion of last month’s DevBlog, I mentioned I’d be spending a couple of weeks house-sitting, and that I wasn’t sure what sort of work I’d be able to get done during that time but that I hoped to…

EverEnding DevBlog, August 2020: Mist
Last month I had just started working on a system for transforming the color of sprites. I finished it pretty early on into this month, and immediately afterward made an post-processing effect which performed the same effect but across the…
EverEnding DevBlog, July 2020: Hues
Well, for once something I thought would take a week actually took a week! The intro came together pretty quickly since I had it all planned out, and I had most of the timeline together within a day or two.…
EverEnding DevBlog, June 2020: Kindling
These illustrations, which were supposed to take a couple of weeks, ended up taking somewhere in the region of 3 months. This sucks! I’m quite happy with how these have turned out, but I can’t help but extrapolate this work…

EverEnding DevBlog, March 2020: Introductions 101 – Intro to Introductions
We’re at the end of the first official month of development of the current version of EverEnding. That’s a lot of qualifiers, but it’s still a milestone of sorts. Did it go well, you may ask? Did it go poorly?…
Everending Resurrection
Where We Were A little bit more than a year ago – actually, almost a year and a half ago – I decided to put EverEnding on hiatus in favor of working on a series of monthly projects. This worked…
Hyper-Competition
Most games are competitive in nature – some might argue that as part of the definition of game, that anything that isn’t competitive is really a puzzle or some other sort of interactive entertainment. What the word ‘competition’ even means…
