Updated the general vibe on https://kbz.se (https://neocities.org/site/gnussler). It should be less like a general-audience "game portal" and more like a site for MY creations, or at least creations of MY liking. More like Dropout, less like Netflix. But not entirely as personal as a Patreon page? Not sure yet. I want to achieve both a personal style and high production value that can be enjoyed outside a core niche.

Drew a sketch for an airport for my game. Where you first land and get introduced to the island where the management company "Manago" has established themselves and started slowing everything down with bureaucracy in every corner possible. https://home.kbrecordzz.com/managoltd/files/flygplats.png
When my game project gets too big I plan it in a "mindmap" instead of text documents. It maps better to how humans think and how complex projects work - things are connected in many ways and not separated in categories as in spreadsheets and lists. I can see the whole project in ONE image, which is easier to process than a long text, which gives much less administration job which is crucial to even finish it at all.

It's in Swedish, unfortunately... But this is how I can see the project as a whole, its separate details and tasks, how everything is connected, and in some way understand where I am, the next thing to do, and where I'm going.

My next game will have the possibility to swap character in-action. The character makes a cool entry and says their name when you change to it. I realize right now that I've copied this game... https://youtu.be/0pWKgfVBAIs?t=1212

I've removed three.js from https://kbz.se and made my own minimal WebGL renderer in it instead. It's just 4 triangles. The page starts much faster now (tell me if I'm wrong!), and the effect is (arguably) cooler.

Going through the levels in "my" BOON game (https://kbz.se/boon/). Some are good, some are bad, some don't even exist. Most of all they're in a bad order. Need to learn WAD editing!

I think I've put them in the right order in the game file now. I'm too bad at the game to go through the levels to see if they're there.
I have to constantly remind myself to write characters that are actually female. Even if you write fictional characters, it all comes from your head, so the characters are kind of you. I naturally just create characters that are me with a twist. All guys. To write compelling girl characters I have to make a conscious effort and go FAR outside of myself.

My best advice for this is very easily to look at more media that has types of female characters you personally vibe with. It's hard to get started on writing new things, but seeing others do it can help give you a better idea.
