Welcome!
We’re back and we’re back! Let’s see what old vik did in March 2026. I can’t believe the “6” at the end of 2026 sometimes. Where has the time gone?! Time is unrelenting…
March 2026 Goals
- Trash Force incremental demo (in the new resolution)
- Falling Thingies new demo and full back to front feature complete
I transferred February’s goals into March and still didn’t finish them in March. Can you imagine that?! I write more about what happened in the “Musings” section down below. It is an outlier for me to not have any planned tasks done 2 months in a row. But such is life, sometimes you have outlier moments.
Bonus Tasks Completed in March 2026
- Banger April Fools post
- Lots of private gig work for games
- Progress on a project I’m announcing next month! This is a big collab with 6 other devs, it’s verrrry exciting :)
Regarding April Fools
I made this post The End and posted it everywhere. The next 24hrs were honestly amazing. I had so many people reach out expressing their concern, sharing their warmth and compassion. This included people I never expected. But it also didn’t include people I expected to reach out. Quite facinating the breakdown of who said and did what. The post I made was mostly genuine. All of the feelings I have for everyone that has helped me and encouraged me are genuine. I feel blessed to have as many people to thank as I do.
Obviously, since you’re reading this, I didn’t quit game development and I’m carrying on. Carrying on with some new friendships! Thank you everyone who reached out and thank you again for everyone who has supported me along the way.
April 2026 Goals
- Trash Force incremental demo (in the new resolution)
- Falling Thingies new demo and full back to front feature complete
- Prepare the Steam page for the new collab project announcement
Falling Thingies will be entering the Steam Bullet Fest on Jun 8. So the game will have to be launched and for sale by then. Which means April we’re getting it finished. It’s about damn time. The Trash Force new demo is almost ready too. I made progress on it, converted most of the systems. Just need to add some of the new upgrades I wanted.
Musings
Well well welllllll. We’ve arrived at the part where I talk to my future self and to the reader. It’s always tricky writing this part because there are so many things I want to remind my future self of, but i don’t want any potential random person reading that stuff.
One thing that I think needs to be shared is my last 9 months of struggling with love. I had a long term relationship that ended (i mentioned it in this post). After a few months I came to my senses and reached out to try to make it work. Long story short, after 9 months of working hard on repairing the relationship and getting back to the hayday, it didn’t work. When we ended it the first time I think i was the one who wasn’t able to pull my weight emotionally. This time it was her. Its tricky thing that is ultimately blameless. When the feelings aren’t there, nothing can be done.
That’s what the little blurb at the beginning of this post is about. “Regret is proof you’ve grown. The fact that you wish you had done better means you are already someone who would.” I regret ending it originally but at least I’ve become someone who wouldn’t do that again. Silver linings!
Anyway. Onwards and upwards. I want to thank everyone who reached out as a result of my april fools prank again, it was a well needed medication to soothe the soul after such a heartbreaking month…
Here’s a nice track I’ve been hitting up lately. See y’all next month!
