This past week, I returned to my dorm at east bay to start my final semester as a senior before graduating with my bachelor of fine arts. This is one of the most pivotal moments of my life. While my future beyond my educational years is a bit uncertain, I will at least have some more time on my hands to make some changes to better establish myself as a multimedia artist. In the meantime. I started to prepare a self portrait piece to commemorate my eventual milestone.

A brief showcase of sprites cropped from the game Gaplus

This is footage of a new Game Project I'm working on. It's a concept that mixes the fundamentals of Breakout and Pinball into one seamless Arcade experience. This prototype will be under the working title of Project Ballistics and can be viewed and played at the link below.

A quick update showing an object I have yet to properly implement in my latest ongoing project. Light up Panels. In some stages they'll appear and if the ball collides with them and lights all of them up, it'll result in a bonus or multiplier to the player's score. There's sprites of each light in a dim and lit variant and they contain all the letters of the alphabet. This is to give stages different words to try and sequence.
