As I mentioned back in November, I've been having some persistent trouble with my neck and shoulders, which means that I haven't been able to work nearly as much as I'd like. It also means that you're unlikely to spot me without gloves and scarf at the moment.

Things have been improving, though: thanks to rest, improved ergonomics and pilates exercises, I can now get something done most days. I'm doing both contract work for some immediate income, and continue to work on Space Exploration: Serpens Sector. Its next iteration, dev 10, has been much delayed, but it's steadily trundling towards completion. I have started a Twitter feed where I talk about the game's development. You can follow it here.The next version of the game will feature much nicer and more varied spaceship graphics, and more illustrations as well. I've made this series of renders to show them off:

Obviously, I need to concentrate my limited typing time on work at the moment, so that's all for now. But in time, I should be able to post things a bit more often again.
