Returning Soon, And More

Just a quick update for you. I am returning to work on Thursday. Once I catch up a little, I’ll get stuck back into the DFTFU 1.3 release. I’m also working on a new technical post for the Workshop Blog that should be up before the weekend. The 1.3 release is shaping up nicely, with lots of great new features for developers to play with. I can’t wait to have it ready for you guys.

Something I mentioned on Twitter a few weeks back is that I would like to talk more about my game projects outside of anything related to Daggerfall. Sometime in the next month or two, I’m going to launch a new site to share my progress and learning experiences creating my own game. I have always enjoyed watching people go through the journey of game development, even way back in the Zzap!64 days when the likes of Martin Walker detailed their process month by month. In turn, I enjoy sharing my experiences with everyone and I value the feedback I receive. I’ve never been fortunate enough to work in the game industry proper, but it has always been a passion for me that I don’t think I could ever abandon.

This may or may not be something you are interested in, so I will keep it separate from the Workshop. I also hope you will understand this will take some time away from my Daggerfall hobby, but hopefully not to its detriment. I promise not to abandon Daggerfall Tools for Unity, but to be an active part of the community and making contributions long into its maturity. Exciting progress is being made by everyone, and I hope to be as much a part of that as possible well into the foreseeable future.

With all the great contributions lately, I can see Daggerfall Tools for Unity becoming self-sustaining. There will come a time when the community here will take things much further than I ever could by myself – in fact I believe that process has already started. Daggerfall has been on my mind for almost 18 years (wow!) and I need to start looking for my next passion. I want to start something original and use everything I have learned to create something of my own, something I can be proud of no matter how feeble it is. If any of you are interested in this new journey, I look forward to seeing you there soon.
