Moving

I am soon making a big move to a small town in Missouri. I have been debating whether this is the right decision. I am taking online college, and I feel like that this will suit me better until I finish college at least. I haven't posted on here in a while, but I've been feeling lonely lately. If someone is reading this, I just wanted to say thanks!

Home Office Update 1

Here are some pictures of my home office. I just got done rearranging some stuff, and added some posters. The walls are super boring.

My feelings about mainstream development.

I've been learning to make games for a good 9 years now, and I spend hours and hours creating games because I am addicted to the high of creativity. I can't get enough. The fact that I can tell a computer to do things on the screen that all came from my brain is just amazing. I have very strong feelings about the industry. I think big games that are just for profit are complete piles of crap. For example, Call of Duty, Halo, Mass effect. Its a cliche that is being recognized as a bad thing now. I think the rise of Indie Developers is amazing. We create things because it's fun. We don't like to take things seriously, because if you do take it seriously you WILL fail. You have to be laid back in the business. Look at Phil Fish for example.. There is a quote from a developer where he makes this metaphor,

 

 There are two types of developers, People who make games just to make money (Micro-Transactions, ), and people who make games to express a certain emotion, or a small group of emotions because they want to. There are two sides, and you can't be lukewarm. There is nothing wrong with being on the business side. There is a market for that, and people literally roll in 10,000,000 a month from these games. But if you are on the art side, then you want to create an experience for people to enjoy, and feel good about playing. Games should be hard, we have been spoon feeding gamers for too long now with all these ending cut-scene shenanigans. I want to feel good about winning something, like I accomplished something. It's rewarding!
