A somewhat eventful interim

So the last few months have been anything but uneventful! Fortunately I’ve been kept very busy, and have hardly been impacted at all by the whole covid situation.
I ended up installing Call of Duty Warzone and played it way too much. It’s almost perfection… I’ve always enjoyed CoD, and the game design is masterful - you just want to keep playing.

For Arid, I’ve thought about incorporating some of the concepts of Warzone, and also Metal Gear Acid, of all things. Metal Gear Acid is a turn based strategy… card game? Anyway, it’s great.

However, I’m again struggling with the ethics of creating a game - yet another virtual distraction from the real world.

Ultimately, I still have a lot of work to do and can’t put any time into this at the moment anyway, but I’m still filing away reference art and ideas for designing the world.
