Welcome!

Have you ever had an assignment or paperwork or what-have-you that you had plenty of time to work on, but the due date is today and you haven't even started it yet? That's how I feel... right now.

Yes, I know this is a very, VERY late installment of The Levi Post, I bet some of you thought this was done and dead in the water, and I bet an even more significant amount of you don't really give a shit!

However, luckily for me (and unluckily for you) the month of April was pretty dull in terms of a progress update, probably because I took a break from working on The Adventures of Gappy (TAOG)!

It was honestly pretty magical, I know it's a shared thing among artists to feel like pieces of shit when you're not working on something, and it hits me very hard! So much so that if I go an extended period of time without working on stuff I fall into a pretty deep depression, so much to the point that in the past, people in my real life get concerned for my well-being. However! After a few days of not working on TAOG, mostly just watching Youtube or simply playing video games, I thought to myself "Hey! I'm just sitting here not being productive, and actually enjoying it and not having a sense of guilt... Cool!"

A few days turned into a few weeks, and those few weeks then turned into me being too busy to work on stuff due to FINALS... eek! Scary I know!

So yeah, that's pretty much the meat and potatoes of what happened this month. I know I just set up the new format for future posts but since this month had almost nothing happen during it, I'm gonna change it up a bit just for the sake of time and convenience. Enjoy!

April Showers, Bring Quickfire Bullet-point lists!

Here's a quick list of semi-important / interesting things I did during April

• As I said before, I took my break! Played a lot of Minecraft, specifically beta 1.7.3 which was really fun, here are a few screenshots from my world.

• Finals were a pain, but I made it through! In fact, one of my classes I didn't think I was gonna pass but through perseverance I actually did quite well on the exam and passed the class, if just barely... Passing this class, however, will (hopefully) make me eligible to do the MBA graduate program my university offers for free! Not 100% sure if I will go through with this, but I'm leaning on the idea of going through with it!

• I made a really, really, REALLY small game called It's like pong. It take a day and a half and although technically being made during my break, it was mostly cause I was bored of not working on a project but didn't feel like working on something big or TAOG. It's not my best work but it was fun to whip up in a little under a days worth of time!

And truthfully, that's the extent of it! To pull back the curtain a bit, May was a much more interesting month to the point where I actually thought some thing may have happened in April but no... it all happened in one month! (May)

IRL Highlight: Hogs.

Here's a painting of some playful hogs I saw at a coffee shop. Probably the highlight of the entire month of April tbh.

DA END

Expect a more "Bountiful" Levi Post for the month of May, the whole month of April was a sham work-wise but was very much needed to keep me sane! I believe the gravity of me realizing I released STD almost a year ago (Talk about that in the next update) and starting a NEW big game kinda hit me all at once and drained me, and I took the month of April to gather my barrings...

So yeah, until next time! Bye Bye!

...

And one last reminder! If you haven't swang by my Backyard BBQ you should come by sometime and pick yourself up a doggie or a burgie, pretty good stuff! In all seriousness, the Discord Server is pretty chill and lively so come check it out, any and all NG users are welcomed!

Alright, bye.
