how the fuck is it august already??!??
I guess since last I posted, I did get the job. Turns out the project is really cool and I'm kind of having some imposter syndrome, but I just hope the project survives the next 3ish years god, the games indistry is crashing and burning HARD rn
but while on the topic of game dev, it's surreal that this could be my dream game, at least from what they're ideating right now. or at least the type of game I would've thought was my dream game when I was younger. and atm it's heading in a direction i'm cool with. just the hubris of my younger self to think i could make something like that on my own. HAH. bro there are so many extremely talented ppl working on this game and just browsing through the concept art just puts me in awe. i somehow fell into working on my dream game by accident. crazy how life works.
BUT! despite being in this fortuitous situation, I still crave to make something on my own, so I've been tinkering around with pico-8 and maybe will have some type of demo up on this site at some point. besides forcing me into a tiny scope for making a game, it's also forcing me to work creatively within those limitations. I don't think I'll be limited in the story I want to tell, and the pipeline should be easier because I won't get caught in the weeds. PLUS i could embed the game on my website, play it on a hand heldand just make it easily accessable despite the fuckin craziness that's happening on the internet these days. gah.
the internet is going to shit, but for now, here feels safe
crazy times. I was thinking of cleaning up this site a bit and making it more presentable since for the forseeable future, this might be my only online presence I feel worth upkeeping.
