So I made a thing! I’ve wanted to build this game for over ten years. If you look through my GitHub, there’re something like six discarded attempts since the early teens. I was handed some free time over the last couple months, and found my way to picking up my most recent attempt and actually getting it up and online!

Blog’d been kind quiet, yeah? I picked it up to write some stuff and found that my old friend travis-ci.org wasn’t really a thing anymore. I used Travis to build and publish this site for many moons really reliably. It was one of the OG continuous integration and deployment sites out there. They went all corporate or something.
