What is it with voyeurism these days? Why are people into it?

This is a very late night post so apologies for the rambling post I'm making right now. So, I've got Junk Drawer to a point where I can shelve it for the time being. It's not done-done but it's where I can slowly add new things like a ship in a bottle sort of deal while I work on another project. It was more of a practice game anyways. This project is a little bigger in scope so I'll have to plan a little more and build a little more. Hopefully it won't be too much but we will have to see!

I feel people in the future would be listening to Neil Cicierga's Mouth albums, unironically calling them masterpieces of their era and rightfully so.

I’ve been working on a game as of late. It’s called ‘Cleaning Out The Junk Drawer’. It’s exactly what it sounds like. It’s a point-and-click game where you get files from the drawer, you open them, and you organize the items that pop out into their designated places. Your goal is to find 52 playing cards.
The game board looks like this:
At the moment I have the core functions of the game working. Folders will spawn, you can open them and items pop out, you can move said items along the desk, cards go into the deck, and trash goes into the trash. I also have the game tracking how many cards you get and how much trash you’ve thrown away. At this point it’s about adding more game play loops and events to flesh the game out some more. Then there’s the task of making things visually appealing.
Ever since I’ve started making Junk Drawer I’ve been looking at the games I play differently, trying to think about how certain games have their effects and features.
Game development has also made me realize how much I don’t pay attention to the world around me. Same thing happened when I tried my hand at 3D modeling too. There are all these details I never thought of before are now something I have to consider when making something. I feel like it’s a lot for one person to manage. It’s strange to think that all the technology that we use, that’s around us at this very moment, has so many parts to it that it had to be designed and programmed in a particular way in order for it to work properly. Several hundred people, if not thousands, were making sure that these hundreds of thousands of pieces work and function properly. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, but he wasn’t hooking up the wiring for it to work nor making sure the mainframe was equipped to handle said light bulb. It’s funny how that’s taken for granted nowadays.
One of the first things I’m gonna work on this weekend is animations for different elements in the game and then see about sound effects. Maybe I'll show footage of it working on the next update.
For now, take care.

So much for that working schedule huh
That's okay. We move on. The site has been updated with a new post and you should check it out at pukcomics.com.
Additionally I have a threads account that I've started using instead of Twitter cause screw Twitter these days. You can check that out at threads.net/@jteam95.
Following this blog will be the same as following threads though I might be a little more unhinged. For example, I wrote an entire post about the update on here as opposed to putting a link to the post and going away for another several months.
Crazy, I know! More to come!

I don't know if anyone understands the weird dystopia that is St Louis. When you drive theough it there's this weird gradient between orderly, clean, and nice to broken, run-down, and abandoned. It's not gradual either and it doesn't just shift from one side of the scale to the other. In other cities there is an immediate difference between one part of town and another part of town. STL you could drive down one street and go through three neighborhoods with a mixture of beautiful trees, rundown homes, vibrant cultures, boarded up and empty lots, liquor shops and nail salons, homeless in the underpass, abandoned buildings, a well built school or church or sports stadium, and curbs covered in abandoned furniture and trash. The only way you'd know you're in a new neighborhood is the signs told you so.
In New York, the skyscrapers keep you grounded in the place you're in. Los Angeles has clear distinctions between the delusional and the sane and is walled off by the ocean and the Hollywood sign. When you're on the elevated freeways heading into STL, you can readily see the buildings past downtown are low and level with each other and you can see the city goes further. Yet the folding hills and pock-marked trees across the landscape keep you from truly seeing its scale.
You know St Louis starts at the Mississippi river but you can't see where it ends.
