Some Updates

Hey, so progress on the Suburban Nightmare Maze Game, tenatively titled Escherville Estates, has been slightly stalled due to a family obligation. A small prototype may be ready by the end of the month, but not as robust as I would have liked.

A smaller project I have worked on while on my involuntary sabbatical has been an essay/review of the latest adaption of Stephen King's Salem's Lot, which is a strange adaption that I want to go more in depth on.
