It's been a week since I have achieved one of the biggest milestones of my life and fully graduated with my B.F.A in Interaction and Game Design. Some may know that I had a self portrait done to commemorate the event.
I also managed to get an updated demo out for my game, NEON IMPACT. I haven't found the time to get a demonstration video together before posting this, but I will share it via my socials.
On the topic of socials, I've been giving it some thought, and I have the intention to make some changes in how I distribute things. For one thing, I want to try and transition my personal site and portfolio to Squarespace with a full licensed domain. The rates for that are cheaper than that of Wix, and it has more variety in it's options foe design, so I think it'll help give myself a more professional looking page.
Secondly, I want to get a linktree or a carrd setup so that I can house all of my relevant links in one place rather than have all of my links cluttering my social media bios.
I will also work to continue improving and expanding my skills creatively. Even though I am no longer under studies in University, there's still much for me to learn, especially as a multimedia artist. I want to transition the skills I've built up into more industry standard software. The primary ones on my mind are Toon Boom for 2D Animation, Blender for 3D Modeling and Animation, something that supports C++ programing for game development, and try to maintain access to a few adobe apps. I have FL Studio already for music, but I haven't made much use of it and I hope to begin to as well.
With the free time on my hands now, I feel more comfortable in committing to the betterment of my craft and will hopefully be able to share a lot more on a fairly regular basis. There's a lot of ideas and concepts in my mind that I can't wait to start to fully formulate. I hope many will be there to see it.
