Welcome to The Dingus Den

This place is my little home on the internet, where I catalogue my various projects and goings ons and such. Enjoy.

You can find me elsewhere on the internet, primarily on YouTube, Newgrounds, Itch, Bluesky, and the Silvereye Collective Discord server, with their buttons with links at the bottom of the page.

What's "Current" in The Dingus Space?

Updated: 4/1/2025

I've put game development stuff on hold for the time being to focus on college. I spent some time from January to Feburary learning Japanese, again. This time I made the best progress I had ever had, being able to actually read some graded readers, simple sentences in comment sections, roughly equating to N5 level. I reached N4 and it started getting more difficult, and at the same time I just wasn't very interested in immersing, so I wasn't making much use of my gains. After not doing much of anything in March, I've decided to put it on hold again until I feel like I want to use Japanese again. I may restart my Anki deck (or just parts of it) and keep up with it just to maintain my current vocabulary, maybe unpause Bunpro so I can keep up my grammar reviews. Might keep to a very minimal amount of new vocab and grammar, just so when I feel like going back to it I'm not effectively starting some scratch. That or just sticking to reviewing what I already know for a while to keep my knowledge. We'll see.

I've been feeling a bit of an itch to come back to game development (as I always do), so I may come back and make some microscopic games just to get my feet wet again. Godot 4.4 released not too long ago, and I've been waiting to use it as an excuse to get back in, so maybe I finally will. I've messed with it in little bits to refamiliarize myself with the new ways it works compared to 3.x. I'm quite excited about it.

If I do end up returning properly, I will likely be uploading videos of gameplay and little dev snippets and such to my newly made YouTube channel, link in the footer of the website.
