Welcome to my website!

Life Updates:

• I've been super tired lately
• My boss is leaving work early to watch the Eagles game tomorrow- Looking forward to it!
• It's the most wonderful time of the year

Anyway, here's what I've been working on:

PS2 Shrine

Part of the reason I haven't been adding any more video game shrines beyond Yakuza and Sonic is because I haven't been playing games lately... So I'm making a console shrine!

This one is going to be based on the PS2 BIOS screen, spinning lights and all. Originally I was going to do just that, but then I was like, "Just going through menus is kinda boring, what if I made it so you can change the colors?" And then it led to me spending two hours of me doing silly stuff like making a clock in Javascript and changing out displays.

Then came the research. I learned all about it's history, what made it tick, and what the heck was going on under the hood. I think I'm going a little overboard though, this is leaning more into a digital museum exhibit than some guy going "Hey guys I like the PS2, do you?" I think the average person would appriciate the latter much more.

A game!?!?!?

I don't know if anyone's read the 'Current plans for this site', but somewhere down the line I wanted to learn and make my very-own game. My vision was that I was going to just make a bunch of webpages and have it be a "Choose Your Own Adventure" that took place in space or something, but then J A V A S C R I P T happened. Now, I'm using arrays and variables to make my very own game!

This first game is going to be more of a demo than anything- The concept is that you are a prisoner tasked with exploring a vast, monster-infested dungeon in hopes of finding a cure for an old disease that overtook the world recently. There's going to be a lot of combat and looting. Right now I have a basic system set in place for fighting and the occasional treasure chest, and there's currently 0 different monsters to fight.

You can play what I have so far here! Right now I don't have a proper inventory system set up, so you may encounter random swords on your quest. Let me know how many monsters you defeat!

One thing I should also add is more random numbers. Everybody loves random numbers!

Current plans for this site:

• Add more stuff. Going to be real with you, it's pretty barren here- There's a lot of blank green space here. Nobody likes looking at blank green spaces! Unless they like the color green... Point is, this is a hub for my creative pursuits and adventures. Over time, this barren field of green will evolve into a wonderful garden of things to read and see!
• Add a shitload of images. Not so much that I use up my free space, but I want to put some fun, fitting images of me all over the place so there's more than just boring walls of text everywhere.
• Add lots of cool secrets. I will not going into detail, but I want to add some random stuff you can click on or hover over, and it will take you to some unknown part of the site. By the way, have you clicked on the guy in the 404 error screen yet?
• Add a game. Do any of you remember when point-and-click adventure games were a thing? I mean I'm sure they still are, but they're not as cool as they were back in the day. Everybody has either a console or Steam, why would anyone want to click on stuff? Anyway, I want to make some fun little games. Nothing super big, mostly play with HTML imagemaps and stuff to create a fun and compelling narrative.

Current Roadmap:

• Add shrines for each game I want
• MORE IMAGES
• Make a game
• Actually make an effort to make the site more accessible and mobile-friendly.

To Do Later:

• Add some cool secrets
• Add more to the 'About Page' - Like a Portfolio of stuff I did
