Moving Out - 2023-05-10 (2 min. read)
Tomorrow, I finally move out of the place I rented for 7 years.
The inspection is tomorrow morning and right after that I take a train to my hometown.
There are some big upcoming changes in my life, I’ll move to Japan in July for a year. For now, I plan to work fulltime on both my game engine and my Japanese learning (well, that, and play the new Zelda game that is releasing in two days).
I’m considering aiming to participate in some game jams, the 54th edition of the Ludum Dare is taking place in September, it could be a nice goal to get my engine ready by then. I also want to do some bare-metal programming (some osdev or a bootloader, or even a BIOS) but I think I won’t have time for that.
Apart from where I’ll be living (near Osaka), there is no precise plan of what I’ll do in Japan. I want to meet my friends I haven’t seen in 4 years because of covid, I am also considering a short trip to Taiwan if the situation is good enough there.
I will arrive in Tokyo, so I’ll spend the first couple of days there before going to Osaka where I will need to do some paperwork.
I don’t know what I will do after this year in Japan. I will have to get a new job. I’m considering several cities I’d like to work in. I want to do some more technical/lower-level programming, because I find programming business logic a bit boring at the moment.
As promised to colleagues, I will post images of my trip in Asia on this blog.
