This entry was posted in Personal Life on Decemby Matt Roszak.Yes I've recently made the first few mods for Broforce. For next year I hope that working on Epic Battle Fantasy 5 is a lot more rewarding than working on Bullet Heaven 2 was, that our apartment search goes well, and that nothing catastrophic happens in general. Christmas was fun this year, everyone behaved, and I got Lego! I did a Christmas Steam key giveaway on my website and got 600 flattering comments! Took me hours to get through those, but it was fun.Started searching for an apartment with Ronja! About time I moved out of my parent’s house, but I am going to miss some of the luxuries.I’m working on Epic Battle Fantasy 5 now! I did a lot of concept art for it, and started doing some animations. Epic Battle Fantasy 4 continues to sell well and funds the development of games like Bullet Heaven 2 which no one wants.It didn’t sell great, but it’s on a lot of wishlists, so I’m hoping that after a few discounts it will cover development costs eventually. The game was well received by people who are into the genre, but not many people are. Browser limitations made the controls and performance even worse. People with old hardware couldn’t run it very well. Casuals didn’t like it for the lack of permanent upgrades. The controller itself was interesting, but I didn’t find it to be very useful except for a few specific types of games. Valve sent me an early Steam Controller! I was surprised that they found me worthy.Not trying to become a pro, just want to be reasonably healthy. I’m satisfied with my current fitness level and will try to maintain it. Added some more equipment to my gym, and achieved novice level in a few lifts.I’m giving her pro tips on dealing with the internet. Ronja finally started posting her drawings online! She’s not good at sharing things with the public.They’re tough reads but very interesting. Read The Stuff of Thought and the Blank Slate, and have some others on my reading list. Became a fan of Steven Pinker’s books on human nature.Hopefully that stuff will get easier over time. Read some books, saw a financial planner, learned to do taxes better, and set up a pension and some other investments. Started seriously learning how to personal finance.But I’m losing interest now that I own all the ones I really wanted. I’ve got 30 of them now, and even bought 2 display cases for them. That was fun too, but it didn’t last long. Did some indoor climbing again, in a new place. Spent longer playing co-op games than ever before. My favourite games that I played this year were: Shovel Knight, Splatoon, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, Yoshi’s Wooly World, Super Mario Maker, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Downwell, 1001 Spikes, Broforce, Kero Blaster, Journey, Monument Valley and Brothers.Went to a Ceilidh (A Scottish dance thing) and won best dancer by getting drunk and being an idiot.The whole family got together to paint the fence! That was a new experience.I went to Finland with Ronja! I met her friends, visited some popular tourist attractions like the island fortress, went to an awesome theme park, celebrated her birthday, tried some proper clothes shopping, ate at a viking restaurant, and stayed at a cabin in the woods.Saw the doctor 5 times, and none of the different antibiotics helped. The whole thing lasted 3 weeks, and for the worst week I could barely eat and couldn’t sleep at all. I got super sick with glandular fever! My throat was totally wrecked and I got a crazy rash.Reminisced about the dead Flash game scene. Went to the Indie Games Conference in London with Ronja, and met up with some other developers.Hey guys, here’s a blog summary of my year! A huge part of the year was taken up by Bullet Heaven 2 development, and relationship stuff with Ronja.
