Now

Updated: 2026-05-30

So, what am I up to these days you ask? This is what I've been doing recently.

  • The official release version of HMK Toolkit is now at 1.2.2. I uploaded that release quietly a while back and now everyone has updated. I think this will be the official release going forward.
  • HMK Toolkit being stable, I started a new project: porting the Java astronomy program to Swift/SwiftUI. That's completed now. App page: KethiraAstro. Blog post about the process: Java port.
  • My campaign preparation is stalled; I can't seem to wrap up that investigation adventure. I think I will wait for the GM Kit, which includes a small campaign.
  • I'm wondering what project to tackle while I wait for the GM Kit. Perhaps I'll try my hand at making a FoundryVTT system for HarnMaster Kethira.
  • We are pausing our game of Hyperborea for the summer. The GM needs to focus on other things.
  • On the video game front, I took a pause from Crimson Desert to play the preview of Subnautica 2. This is such a great game. I am sad it's only a preview and I made it to the end of what is available for now. I am now resuming Crimson Desert.
  • It's been a rough month mentally. There was a game convention which I didn't go to, and a fishing trip I didn't go to. And I am getting a feeling that I'm not welcome as part of the collaborators for a particular game company.
