I am on WordPress now

I am officially moving over to WordPress as of today. This is the link to my new blog http://muchigdp.wordpress.com/

I will be using this blog as a temporary site to host my games until I am able to get my own domain over at WordPress. This is because WordPress free accounts do not support custom plugins. I need to install the Flash and Unity plugins if I want to host my games over at WordPress.

Anyway, head over to my new blog http://muchigdp.wordpress.com/

See you there! (:

MaKey MaKey is here

Look what came in the mail today.

MaKey MaKey in the flesh.

Managed to hook up some random stuff onto the MaKey MaKey to play a virtual piano. Worked like a charm. Maybe I should try hooking the MaKey MaKey to a couple of my friends and create human piano keys! *grin*

Also, I found a note stuck in the box.

Mmm, bananas.

When Facebook gives you lemons..

So, I am guessing that Facebook is finally forcing everyone to switch to the new Timeline layout. I hate it. Since the change is inevitable... I guess I have to take the lemons and do something with it.

Had a little fun with my cover photo. And I will just leave this here...

Double Fine Adventure Goodies!

After 10 long weeks, my Double Fine Adventure goodies are here! Have yet to remove the poster from it's casing. Don't want to stain it! Will update with pictures soon.

P.S: Added a new page/tab for the projects that I have backed on Kickstarter.

P.P.S: Picture updates!!

It's BLACK!

The background will remain black for now. Still looking for a suitable image to use!

Unintentional mindfuck

Back to square one

Thoughts of 'needing a solid portfolio as soon as possible', 'needing a job, any kind of job as soon as possible' and 'to stay indie or get a stable day job in a game company' has been running on my mind for the past week. The stress has definitely taken it's toll on me and I was unable to follow through on my plan even though it seems pretty straight forward. I think I should scrap the plan and start back from scratch.

I should update my portfolio and decide how things should proceed from there.

Be back real soon.

Clarity

An old friend said this to me today,

"Your habit is thinking too much when you already know the answer."

It knocked some much needed sense into me. Maybe it's because I am growing old. Maybe I am just confusing myself by making things overly complicated. Or maybe I am just not as passionate as I used to be anymore.

I miss when I was younger and I was always the one being stupidly confident, passionate and clear of how to reach my dream of being a great game developer along with my friends.

I really hope it is not too late to get back on the right track.

Thanks, old friend.

Why?

I have always been curious as to why I can't draw with a Wacom. So, I drew something simple on paper and tried replicating the drawing using a Wacom... and failed. Why am I having this problem? Why?!?!?!?!

Maybe I am not used to not seeing the surface that I am drawing on?

Or maybe I am not able to subtly apply the right amount of pressure on the Wacom?

Or is it because I am unable to gauge my digital work space?

Argh! The frustration!

Restart

Been 22 months since I last updated this blog. Need to stop being a lazy ass and start replaying this 'game' from the beginning again. Here's hoping to not see the next post appearing 22 months from now.
