Next Batch Of Updates Next Week...

Hi again. Brian Joseph Johns here once again. I hope that you're all well.


I just wanted to let you know that I'll be writing and posting the latest updates next week, by Tuesday or  by latest 1 PM on Wednesday Eastern Standard Time (currently UTC-4 given daylight savings time).

I'm going to stick with my original plan from the previous post and prioritize the two most recent storylines of We Who Stand On Guard and Tales Of The Sanctum: A Lady's Prerogative - Unfinished Bee's Wax, but you can also look forward to the next The Butterfly Dragon: The Two Butterflies episode within the next two weeks. I'll try to push Night Boat ahead, and start the next episode to within a month to a month and a half. As I stated in the last post.


I'm still currently focused on producing other Shhhh! Digital Media related content (in Microsoft Visual Studio and Epic's Unreal Engine), and though progress is a bit slow, it is steady as I refine the process into a pipeline. When I have something to present to you, you'll be the first to know.

As much as I love writing, sometimes I just need to bury myself in code and interactive content production. I can't wait until my abilities to bring the two together have been realized, like designer Heylyn Yates' own West Meet East International, where they'll meet in the middle and become something altogther beyond, similar to the way that Tales Of The Sanctum: A Lady's Prerogative and Butterfly Dragon converge here.


I'd also like to give a heart felt thank you for the hard work of my social workers, who help to keep those of us (including myself) who are getting ourselves steadily on our feet, focused on life progress, at least as much so as with our life ambitions and aspirations. Sometimes our own compass needs a little calibration in the form of healthy advice and guidance, and as much so to put our foot down where need be.

However, I'm there will likely be challenges ahead, many of which I'll curse about under my breath for a time, maybe even a rant or two, and then return with a smile. Part of life is learning how to safely get off of the cliquishly imposed see-saw, the dichotomy of extremes, and find balance in the middle from where you can look on with both objectivity and subjectivity, essentially averting conflict and endearing productive compromise or even solution taking away from someone else's chance to learn from it.


Kind of like this image below, which is a clue as to what I'm currently working in in Visual Studio, though this image was produced with the help of an algorithm from Graph Theory known as a Depth First Search. Something I coded in Delphi 5 about a week ago as proof of concept. Th question now remains, is this the corrupted maze in the Haven Of The True, or the virtuous Testing Grounds Of The Night Wytch?



See you next week with some new chapters for the stories, and shortly thereafter some new stories!
