Hi folks!
So I never got around to making v.06 clean enough to post. I did the following instead:
1. I finally broke down and bought a new computer. My laptop only has 128MB of vram using integrated graphics. My new machine will be 50x more powerful, and that's likely not an exaggeration.
2. A friend of mine alerted me to a nice Humble Bundle that had game art. I found some great game objects I'll be using. They are still place holders until I can get specific trees and wetland vegetation, but it's a lot better than I have been using. So far, it's just that bush mesh. haha.
3. My gofundme is completely silent. I guess I should have expected that.
4. I have been thinking a lot about my next DamNation things... so I'll be doing a bit once I get back into it.
5. I had to retrain my ChatGPT tool. It's been brutal and frustrating, but I think it's ready to go.
6. I found a game generator GPT and was able to make an HTML-spoofed version of DamNation in minutes. It was a wild experience!
7. It's the first week of Spring 2026 here where I live, next to the wetland that has inspired this game. I'm expecting to get more motivation as I get back outside to enjoy Spring.
8. I have reached out to one organization in Vermont that I was hoping to find some resources. I got a lead, but I just haven't felt like pushing that any more, yet.
that's all I have for now!
cheers,
Ortisha
