Ren’Py, Sublime and Starmie

Ren’Py seems to be going well. I finished the first lot of tutorials it game with. Today I want to try and start making my game. I like how Ren’Py uses python. Many of my friends use python so if I ever get stuck I can ask them for help.

Currently my idea is to make a new game for each level and join them all together towards the end. Also since I’m working with code I’m using Sublime Text as my text editor. You can use like note pad but the good thing about text editors is that they will highlight parts of code. So like methods or classes will show up in different colours making things easy to read.

In life news yesterday we had a belated birthday party for JB. I made a card.

It’s his favourite Pokémon, Starmie :D I used cardboard between layers of paper so I didn’t look so flat despite using solid colours.

My other hobbies

I do actually do things that aren’t just play video games and do uni work :)

One of my hobbies is sewing, I’m not very good but I can make wearable clothes.

I managed to make a skirt, my mother was a seamstress and like her I have just a bunch of fabric lying around. It’s been a while since I sewed anything. I think it came out very well and hasn’t fallen apart yet, lol.

Another one of my hobbies is making cards, I’m not sure when I started but it’s been something I’ve done since I was in uni. I like to make birthday cards and christmas and wedding cards for friends and family. So far I’ve made 4 cards this year :) It’s fun cutting and sticking paper together. Sometimes I think I should make myself a little etsy shop.

Christmas cards

I did some volunteer work end of last year (2012) and part of it was for me to make them a bunch of Christmas cards, they came out pretty well. Here are two that I like the most :)

 

Birthdays!

No drawings this week, I was busy cutting up paper and making birthday cards :P

A while ago I bought a set of scissors, I guess it’s more of a set of blades then scissors. It’s a pair of scissors with a bunch of attachment blades. It’s basically a set of them crazy scissors that cut in funny patterns and what not. (Coz I know what I’m talking about) I found them at smiggle for like 15 bucks.

Coz cutting in straight lines is for sissies!

They come in handy when making pretty birthday cards :D

I like to make cards over buying them when I have the time and am inspired to making something :D

I just wish I was better are writing stuff in them. Tho lately I think I’ve been getting better at putting random text in cards
