I am still in the research phase of working on a video game. Ideas have been piling up, eating each other, morphing into new ones, or lost (potentially) forever to amnesia. It's a sad, yet fertile process. The context I'm creating together with my friend is one that is bound to bring forward a product that has some type of layeredness. So…

I'm currently exploring a new back-end technology called Prisma 2. I want to share some notes here, as I discover how it works, in the hope that they might be useful to anyone trying out Prisma 2 too (^-^). If you're not into coding, javascript, graphql or all that stuff, it probably won't be too interesting for you. Of course, you're…

Colors are fun. Especially when you can choose your own. You'll need a color picker for that though. Luckily, we can easily create a custom one ourselves with react . While you can use the native color picker that the browser offers, we'll be using the library react-color . It provides us with a couple of helpful components, which speed…

I have a blog (you’re reading it). It's just a personal site I occasionally share some stuff on. That's all it is, and all it ever should be. Naturally, like most humans on the internet, I do get a little positive sensation when people visit my site. But that's really just a bonus. It's not a reason to post more stuff or to post things I…

It seems like a right moment to tell you a little bit about the game I've been working on with a good friend of mine. The game, of which I won't share the title yet, is currently very much in the conceptualization-, yet somewhat out of conceptualization phase. That is to say, I think we've got a good handle on what we're trying to create…

I've been having a bit of trouble writing down any coherent thoughts as of late. That's a shame, for it was my intention to dig a bit deeper into my thoughts on this blog. To take more notes while I was reading and then hopefully try to formulate sentences and paragraphs which could help me make sense of all the information swimming in my…

For too long I have ventured into the unknown, not caring about all the beautiful things I built in the past and then left behind. Those buildings would still be there when I came back, I believed. Maybe they'd need a little checkup, but as long as one of the inhabitants wasn't screaming that the roof was gone, I was still good. And I…

After years of building applications for the web with Javascript, I’m now jumping into the world of Ruby on Rails. If you’ve never built a web application, I’m sure this doesn’t mean much to you. You might even have no idea at all, what I’m talking about. And to be fair, sometimes that same feelings creeps into my soul as well. The thing…

The day I thought would never arrive, did actually arrive: we’ve been given a three dimensional full blown Pokémon adventure. A miracle, no less. Anyone who has played the game since Pokémon Red & Blue and has seen the very first season of the Pokémon anime should be able to relate to this sentiment. It always seemed like such a natural…

Hello and welcome to my blog. This is the obligatory first post that I just couldn’t resist writing. I’ve been writing and starting blogs probably ever since I first got onto the internet. Back then blogs didn’t exist, but there were homepages and guestbooks. Naturally I had both at some point: a guestbook and a homepage. The transition…
