Drifting Memory

I just realized that I did a post early this month that covered my break and getting back to uni... oops. No matter, I still managed to bring this blog up to date, so it's all good.

Lazy Break, Busy Tri

I was really hoping to post here sooner but unfortunately I had a pretty lazy break then I was punished for it by losing internet for the last week before starting my busiest trimester yet. I also wanted to get more art done which I didn't, so I've been kicking myself over that. But now that I'm back at uni I'm looking forward to making more games.

So far I've completed a one week prototype and had it play tested, now I'm head of an unnamed group for out next project. The two player turn based game we've named 'Virion' (there were no objections) has begun taking form. It's still just documents and we need to pitch the idea on Thursday but I have high hopes for it.

Although a lot of my time will be focused on this project I also have to prepare to give a presentation on Friday about "Aesthetics". I'm still working on what about aesthetics I'm going to cover, I think I'm going to talk about how what we find visually appealing has chanced significantly over the eras... hm.

Okay I've got a topic now I just need to research it. Four days to create a pitch and a presentation on aesthetics, bring it on! (I say four because the pitch is due on Thursday and I don't get home until about nine that night so I won't have a lot of time to perfect my presentation before Friday).

So this was a pretty short post, I have a design I want to put on my art blog and I should have some more on the way... hopefully. But apart from that I will be focusing 90% of my attention towards uni so it may be a while before I do another post, but not too long I hope...

Back For Round Two

So I'm back at uni for Trimester two after three weeks of unproductive holiday time and I'm looking forward to getting back to work. I told myself that I had to work on scripting and game development over the holidays but instead became very lazy, also I never did any artwork to put in my art blog and on Deviantart. These are things I have been kicking myself over but hopefully I can replace my lazy attitude with a productive energetic one,

 I need to do this because for the rest of my time at uni I will have A LOT of work to do as well as an internship at the end. My old daily routine also needs to be altered to keep my work up to date but also leave a bit of time for skill improvement. The road to greatness is long and difficult but I shall reach the end and continue walking, it's time for present me to get serious and work hard for future me's sake.
