ah, it's all good! some things aren't meant to be finished. That project was a tremendous learning experience - so even if I never get to really play my game, I did learn a lot in the process of getting a hand drawn animated character moving around on screen by user input - which on its own is super rad.

Dude, I just had an idea for a new way of going about the name that tune contest! I've been struggling to come up with new things to try/songs to play, and then just a couple days ago it dawned on me - I love playing along with real music, so what if I play along with music that is coming from my headphones, so the camera is only catching the flute! I'm excited to give this a shot. I think it will expand the horizions of the game, and hopefully breathe some life into it because I've been struggling to get myself back into recording - and this I feel could be just the reason I needed! Definitely helps knowing there's at least one person still playing, too ;)
