Lately things have been coming together. The past few days have been hell getting Git integrated on our server for Tzarr but it's finally working and we can start making progress on getting an online multiplayer version up and running.
Also, I've been teaching myself JQuery and JavaScript integration into HTML/CSS this week so I reworked the homepage on my website to include a minigame. It uses the sprites from SBX: Invasion to create VERY basic galaga style minigame. I'll expand on it later, but for now it has simple functionality. Working on getting the minigame running today has been a royal pain, but I worked out all the bugs.
I probably spent a good half the day today staring at my screen thinking: "WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING?" and then realizing I was missing a colon or a comma or something stupid. Half the time I had the syntax completely wrong too and spent a lot of time looking at the API. BUT... I completely custom made a little game entirely in JQuery and custom JavaScript. It may not be super special, but I think it makes the home page just a little more fun.

I also have an interview this coming up week in the Software Development Industry so that's exciting. Having a stable job is something that seems more and more appealing as my wife and I get closer to having kids. Not that I don't love being an indie mind you... it's just not the stablest of jobs.
I'll still continue on my projects of course, I still have a lot of ideas for EvoDash and Tzarr that I want to do. And of course the 'next' project after Tzarr. Hopefully there will be enough time for that one :).
Everything said and done, the past week has been pretty eventful and I've enjoyed myself. I'm looking forward to more opportunities to learn and grow in the future as well.
Cheers!
Jason
