Certifications
So I noticed I have not posted here in a while. I am sorry for my long absence. I used to update often on this blog, every week. I have been busy studying for Information Technology certifications such as Network+, Security+, and Windows 7. School and work and I'm sure everyone gets the idea.
Indie Game Companies & Better Drawing
I recently joined another indie game company about two months ago after the previous indie game company disbanded. This company requires me to draw scenery instead of the character concept sketches I have grown used to doing over the years. I have discovered that drawing scenery is not one of my strengths and I maybe kicked off the team due not meeting the manager's requirements.
Like the previous company, I've been promised to get paid when the company releases its game. This means more working for free on somebody else's work, I'm struggling to care about, with a huge chance of not getting any money any time soon. On the other hand, I have forced myself to look at references for trees, acorns, etc in order to draw scenery. This means better artwork for my visual novels. If the company decides not to take me in the end, then I have more free time to work on projects I am passionate about.
More Focused Now
Speaking of passionate projects I finished writing a 50,000 word novel last month for National Novel Writing Month. There was tons of time spending nights alone and on the computer and it took a lot for me to turn down friends who wanted me to hang out or I forced myself to stay for two hours at parties and leave. Through doing this challenge, I realize what I must do in order to get this visual novel done.
