And we're back!

It's been a long time since I did one of these.  Had my shoulder sliced open and a mole removed since my last post.  Having another small procedure in 2 weeks and another mole removed in 3 weeks, but nobody cares about that.  What we should care about is that I'm trying to force myself to get back to the grind and learn about pixel art/design.  The music will be the last thing I do, but for now I REALLY need to work on building the world since (I think) my battle engine is now complete (other than adding one or 2 more special moves).  

I did have one minor accomplishment within the last week.  i finally looked at tile switching.  Using that concept, I created an animated background.  So, for some reason I made a space town/location.  But I animated some fans on a ship/building, added spinning galaxies, and some "twinkling" stars.  Small accomplishment and easy to do, but definitely looks nice!  

I don't know how frequent my updates will be in the near term.  I really need to focus on my shoulder rehab more.  I am personally doing very well; however, I really want to get back to working out again.  That said, I also want to refocus on this as I'd love to have a mostly complete game in a year or so.  It sounds realistic, but I also know at the rate I'm going I'll never actually finish this.  It's all about that balance.

Anyhow, enough incoherent rambling from me.
