All tests passing and pixel-perfect snapshot tests
I start a playthrough
I see a magic circle on the ground
Do you know how much of a pain in the ass drawing precise geometric shapes in pixel art is, especially when you have to take into account perspective? There must be a better way...

I now have a syntax for a language that allows to define magic
I now have a compiler for that language
The output of the compiler are magic circles in the form of an SVG
System is flexible enough that you could use it to generate something like Naruto's hand-signs by writing an extension for the compiler

Decide I need to write my own magic system in order to properly test the new "magic compiler"...
End up starting to write a book (no AI, believe it or not), which I am still working on.

The magic system is so cool I design a card game around it.
February 15th
Can't print cards without actually trying out the game
Design a KMP game, with websockets, matchmaking, a static website, cool animations, etc.
Released on it's own website
Play with friends
TLDR is card game is cool, but needs work, kmp app to play online is very nice
Park the project and wait for ideas on how to make the gameplay better
March 3rd
Decide KMP is very good
Develop a Pinball-like game with procedurally generated obstacles, infinite play area, multiple flappers, cool sound effects and... Rejected by Apple because the game is too similar to other games...
Apparently, existing games own a monopoly on Pinball-like games. Jesus...
Attempt to release on Android, but Play Store now requires 11 testers to actually use the app for a while before release
Realise that, as a 32yo male, I don't have 11 friends
