; Monkey No More?

Mark isn't exactly making a great living from all his development stuff.
He's now contemplating giving up on the entire endeavour, and getting a 'Proper' job.
No more Blitz...
Mo more Max....
No more Monkey.....
.. No more Mark?!!?!
The whole of my PC game-dev universe is closing in on itself!!

..So, I started writing a new Framework for 2018.
Instead of using Monkey, I've opted to go for the much more universal C++

I'll be trying my damndest to make it so that I can code into a single 'My Game Here.cpp' file, and then compile it to a whole bunch of different targets, using a list of different compilers.
It's certainly going to be a fucking mess, that's for sure!
But that's what I'm doing, and it's probably going to take a long long time.
It's mid-October (already!?) so that gives me 2.5 months to get it ready for the first 2018 game.

I'll be taking my usual end-of-year break from AGameAWeek, but I've still got a couple of other projects I want to tackle in Monkey, first, though.
A new SpikeDislike is something that got started, then forgotten about, a few months ago.
I should also tackle a nice Xmas game, although I don't think it'll be a large Advent Calendar, this year.
I had planned to do a '12 Games of Xmas', but I can't think of any games that match the 12 Days of Xmas song, which I didn't already do when I last did a 12 Games of Xmas, back in 2009.
Maybe I should just redo those, but make them a little neater?

I dunno.

Plans.. They never do work out!
