WARNING - LONG POST
Hi guys, figured I would make a thread to say where I have disappeared to lately. Things have been really busy IRL as most of the work I do is deadline based meaning that I have to complete given tasks by a certain date. While I have mostly been able to keep up I have had multiple design proposals to create as well as a couple of supporting documents for presentations which has made this one of the busiest month's I have had in a while. To top this all off I heard about an opportunity to work with a small games company on the side, helping create 3D assets for a currently unannounced game. Unfortunatly there were too many applicants for them to just accept us all to work for them and as such they arranged a 'contest' of sorts where we all designed a level for the game and they would judge us on our work. This went well for me and I managed to impress them with my work but on the other hand this took all the time I had spare with my deadlines and home life taking up the rest.
Although they liked my design that I created they commented that I did not show as much creative flair within my design (which I have to agree with, I based it on a real life version) so although they thought I had good talent they wanted to issue a second chalenge, they sent me the character models from their game and asked me to make customisation options for players. This further took up my time keeping me from the forums for yet another week. When I submitted my drafts for the second challenge I was told that they wanted to directly interview me where they said they actually don't want me to work on environment design like the other 2 they accepted, instead they chose to give me freedom to create the character customisations for them for real so I have actually ended up with a really nice side job. With the challenge being over and my deadlines mostly on track for now I now have more time for playing games and helping the forums so hopefully everyone will see my name popping up more often now and maybe I can even restore my posts per day avarage which has dropped to 2.5 when it used to be nearly 3
Oh, and I forgot to mention, I dropped my DS charger for a second while my rabbit was running around and in 1 bite he severed some of the internal wiring so I had to get a hold of a new charger cable. My DS has been dead for the last few days so thankfully that is resolved now
Warning - Sad part next
