Well this is a late month update, and for good reasons! I've been rather busy lately with new projects I've become involved with, but let me get into what went wrong in the past two months. As stated before May was rough with finals and all that, but things get better in early June. A bit later in June though I ran into some heavy stress and just didn't get around to working on my articles. Things cleared up at the end of the month, but the research article I had spent my time on couldn't be finished since it required monetary investment on my part, i.e. money I don't have. The rest of June of spent talking to various game developers, some worked out and others didn't, but I think I'm now working with projects that I really like. So I'm back into game development again! Because of my interest in the field and passion for games I knew I couldn't stay away for long. Most of the projects I'm involved with are somewhat simple as well as my role, but my most ambitious project and role is creating all of the lore for an MMORPG. I'm currently employed to No Limits Designs, the team behind this ambitious project. I'll post more details here once they become available to the public, until then check out the site. As you can imagine because of my busier schedule there's going to be various changes to this site. I'm not going to stop writing creative articles, but I am going to stop doing full blown game reviews. I simply have to no time to play though a crappy game and analyze the hell out of it; obviously it isn't fair to only properly review the games that I like. However I am toying with the idea of sticking to short game impressions that may or may not have a scoring system. As of right now I'm not big on passive medium at all outside of articles, so don't expect any new movie or novel reviews from me. Another thing I plan on has to do with the new layout of the site that's coming. Since this is an article site with a blog aspect to it I find it a little annoying that most people refer to my site as a blog. I can't blame them since the majority of recent posts have been blogs, but I really don't want new viewers to get the wrong impression of this site. There's still going to be my little blog posts on this site, but the site it general will appear less like a typical blog site. It's not me alone that's designing the new layout so there will be much discussion on this. Since my ambitious research article has come to a halt I'm going back to some ideas I've been sitting on for a while. I'm definately going to work on getting more pictures in my articles to keep things interesting and to help explain what I'm talking about (they say a picture tells a thousand words.) My most popular articles seem to be the ones that offer more interesting views on gaming, so expect more of those from me. Being that I'm back into indy game design you can also expect articles of that nature as well. Oh, my new computer... I can't even begin to explain why it isn't here yet! Rest assured that I am getting it, but I'm not quite sure that I'll get it before my classes start at the end of August. I have a number of projects planned with this new PC and the wait is getting aggravating. I wish there was something I could do to speed things up, but there isn't and I currently don't posses the hardware to do some of the things I want to do. It's really a bummer that it has been another slow summer for this website, but like a lot of other people I have a lot of things going on in the summer. Since this website is in fact my second source of income I will prioritize it above most of my other projects now that my stress levels have cooled. I think that I've delivered some of my best content this year, but I'm really only just getting started! Expect more from me in the future and hopefully later this month! |
