Yesterday I played some more Return to Monkey Island to warm myself back up to game-making. I played some more this morning before sitting down to finish my ballot. I ran into a logic error on my part again. An item that I needed to collect was plainly visible, and I had interacted with it…

Last night at dinner Karin asked me how the game, Nemo’s Helper, is going. I told her about consulting with Diego on fetch quests and detailed the one that I’ve imagined so far. I mentioned to Karin the critique that I found suggesting heroes don’t do mundane task. I feel the need to contest that…

Activities: reached out to Adán to see how he’s doing. Scott L. reached out to me to see how the month at Anderson Ranch went. We made a date for lunch later today. His question prompted me to look at Z-ordering in both Scratch and in Snap! for my Seeds of Solitude remake. I can’t…

Activities: I went into studio to grab laptop, then went into photo and new media studio to prep the Migraciones space. It had fallen out of calibration because some of the tables had been moved. I quickly calibrated it, and quickly set up my laptop in the class room. I showed the students Migraciones for…

At some point I spent more time with Mid Journey. I printed two more copies of of the submarine onto Canson Vidalon. This paper has too much ink hold-out. There is not enough dry time between print-head passes, even though I slowed it down in the advance settings. It may be possible to further manipulate…
