Pretty bad and good, I’m on a pretty weird spot.
A lot of things occurred in the last 3 weeks:
- I had to change my computer to a worse one. I can’t use blender as smoothly as before and before wasn’t smooth at all, so this is gonna be a little harder than expected.
- I lost EVERYTHING! I had everything on Google Drive but it updated when it shouldn’t have and it erased all my files… Thanks google!
- I had some health issues, I took some blood tests this past Thursday (July 23th), and between high stress levels and colesterol in the border of the acceptable I was feeling dizzy and having headaches due to high blood pressure, I started feeling better around this past Monday, this is also why I stopped doing the Game Design course.
- Todoist failed me too! Yay technology!
Those were the “bad” news, now onto the good news:
- I’m wasn’t sure what my next step should be, so I entered thinking/drawing mode which is a great mode for me, it puts everything into perspective.
- I came up with a plan, my own plan, not something I copied from Skillshare or any other site or youtuber, I’m feeling way more comfortable now since it doesn’t relies at all on technology and it adapts a lot better to my needs, like being random but structured at the same time (If you want details on that I’ll send them to you via PM or create a topic, whichever you prefer).
- I’ve been learning a lot; AI, Shaders, Game Design and more.
The exciting stuff:
I’m taking things slower… WOW dude! Calm now with that excitement!
I’m going to do what I should have done right from the start, which is work on 3 projects and on 4 courses at the same time… … … … How exactly is that taking things slower? Pretty good question but it’s pretty hard to answer, let’s just say it involves my organizational plan and knowing that my brain can’t handle one project for long periods of time, I also get far more creative when working on multiple things, don’t know why, that’s just how my brain works, so I’ll use that to my advantage.
- My current courses: Shader, Math, Game Design, and a Drawing course that starts this August, this is quite weird because it’s a 14 month program, but I’m in desperate need of this particular course, and the teacher is freaking amazing.
- Project Toon which has priority, meaning I’ll work on it 3 times a week, a Beat-em-Up game designed to practice my 2D animations skills which are kinda crappy (I’ll work on this only one time a week), and last but not least, I’m going to redo the 3D Course, I’m going to make a game from each project, not just a small game, a full fledged game, since the code is already there, I can follow along and just focus on Game Design and launching the games, something I’ve never done outside of very small projects, this involves making trailers and other stuff, which I’ve never done. This two projects are support projects that are going to hone my skills to make Project Toon the best game I can possible make.
Did you expect such a long answer? Because I didn’t
