Rain Check.

With my Writer's block for NSSS cleared, I've taken some time to think about the path moving forward.

I really want to release more updates to NSSS, but, for now, that means putting a major, promised aspect of 1.1.12 on ice.

Seasons, and all the other goodies I've been cooking up for the next update, will still be coming. But the weather system will be put on hold, at least for a while.

Weather has been the last major part of 1.1.12 that I've been hung up on for a while now, and every time I try to finish the implementation I encounter some major bug that's a pain to quash and all the wind gets taken out of my sails. It's holding me back from finishing the rest of the update, and it's holding me back from starting work on other work that I want to do on NSSS.

So, what can you expect?

Hopefully, more frequent teasers of what's still confirmed of 1.1.12 - Seasons, mostly, but there's a few more seecrets in there ;)

The weather system, particularly dynamic weather, is still a major part of my vision for the future of NSSS - it will still, absolutely, come, but it will be in its own, smaller update, not bundled in with a smorgasbord of other goodies.

Once 1.1.12 is out - which may be a while yet - then 1.1.13 will be arriving much, much sooner. And 1.1.14, and 1.1.15 - and so on. I'd like to return NSSS to a more frequent update cycle - nowhere near has fast as 1.1.3 - 1.1.7, but fast enough that I can push an update, listen for feedback, and then fix or improve things with the next release. A little, often - like firing a steam locomotive.

Novelty is only fun for so long - I won't know for certain if the changes that I make are good ones until I can examine them in the long run. It seems that 1.1.11 ended off on good footing - people are still enjoying it 2 years later - but there's bugs and problems that have materialized over that time which really ought to be smoothed out. It's time to fix 1.1.11_111-1... and I'm all out of ones.

There are also going to be some changes to the patreon. Stuff like playtesting access will probably get removed as a tier perk - I'd like to generalize the patreon from "support my work on NSSS!" to just "support my work!", which will be NSSS in addition to other things. Whatever happens, anyone who has ever gotten a custom name color or cape or particle effect will keep it in perpetuity - they're meant to signify a 'thank you' for throwing money at me, after all! Every dollar, euro, pound, zloty, real, and lira is appreciated.

I need to tidy up the website a bit as well, and the forums are still an unusable mess - if someone knows phpbb theming inside and out and is willing to pitch in, let me know!

My controversial Minecraft Movie opinion is that isekai could have worked for it, if they had just played it like a vanilla minecraft world. It’s even the game-movie most suited for an isekai storyline tbh.

A couple of kids wake up in a strange new place and have to figure out how to survive. And then, eventually, how to get back home. And this could take you all the way from punching a tree to killing the ender dragon, ending with The End Poem, which can be read aloud as it scrolls across the screen by all the weird helpful people the kids met along the way (steve, alex, mcyt cameos)

Also Steve isn’t white, the piglins aren’t evil or in the overworld, and the whole thing is animated. The kids are blocks in the block game and if you absolutely must have them be real people, have it be a split second of them waking up after the end poem

How to kill an iterator- summon the spooky white eye guy from the funny block game and watch your world burn i guess

Outer Expanse is pretty neat so far!

I love games that, upon completion, shatters my sense of reality, leaves me full of emotions for days or weeks at end, and changes me as a person, for better or worse

somewhat unshaded scavenger model I made as a test to see if I could use it in customizable player models

Oh yeah, I like these things btw.

There IS more, but my canvas was small and I didn't want to redo anything.

A MASSIVE collab drawing I did for orchestra :) it looks simple but this took me so long

I haven’t played a lot of these games but each character represents a song being played in our concert!

Laurance cries the first time he feels the rain after the Nether and stands out there so long in the cold and the wet that he gets sick.
