Microphones, Fear, and Forward Motion

I know it’s been a second — just wanted to give you all a quick update.

The microphone finally arrived today. Since I’m a dad, I probably won’t get a chance to mess around with it until Saturday. I know I said the video would be out by now, but it’s going to take a little longer. Hopefully I can get over this completely irrational fear of sounding like an ass on camera.

Anyway — The Infinite Journey is still making progress. I’ve mostly locked in the anomalies that will haunt the player throughout the game, and the overall visual style is nearly finalized. It’s all coming together… just slowly. It’d probably go faster with the new PC I’ve been dreaming about, but I’m still pushing forward with what I’ve got.

And I want to say this, because it feels important:

I’m not an expert at any of this.
Sure, I have a background in IT — but I don’t know much about coding, or graphics, or making YouTube videos, or editing, or public speaking. Yet here I am, trying to do all of those things anyway… just for the sake of this world I’m building.

I’m not even sure where I’m going with this. I guess I just want it to be clear that this whole thing is driven by passion — and that sometimes, to chase what you really want, you have to do a whole bunch of shit you never signed up for.

Thanks for sticking with me while I figure this out.
