for the last few days i've had the stress of a family member getting COVID. we've been lucky to encounter very little of it up until this point, but now some of the family has been traveling, so the virus was pretty likely to reach us. i shouldn't call it too early, but it's been 3-4 days and i haven't had any symptoms.

either way, the experience of a recent fire evacuation, work picking back up, family members being sick, and having to take on a larger portion of the house chores has really worn me out. i've been very distracted and mostly just interested in exploring some old games.

i think i need to simplify my efforts to make concept art of Satellite even further. i lack confidence in my ability to design coherent environments but i have to start somewhere, and i think i need to become more flexible with my concepts for species including enemies in the game. i should look for inspiration in art books for other RPGs i've enjoyed. i didn't do a whole lot today but poke the design document, but i still get some drive to punch in new pieces of story here and there.
