Well, it has been more than two years since my last journal entry here at DA. A lot has happened, too much. Good, bad, and ugly. I am trying to overcome certain unforeseen setbacks and pull ahead. The plus side is I suddenly have a lot of free-time for the foreseeable future. I won't keep my hopes up but in this moment I have what I need and I am going to utilize it to its maximum potential.

I went through a dark time. Not going to get in details in public. I am still not entirely sure how I pulled through it but here I am. And honestly I thank three silly sources for pulling me through it: Undertale for reminding me to stay determined, My Hero Academia for reminding me to never give up hope and to meet each challenge with a smile on my face, and my dearest brother for always backing me up and showing me My Hero Academia. You're the best bro.

I have been hard at work finishing my game project and getting back to my webcomic. Since I did not have time to do a lot of drawing I worked on the story so that when it came time to draw I could crank out as many pages as possible. No, Of Beasts & Men is not abandoned. I currently have finished an additional two pages and will be working on the third soon. At the moment I have been trying to rekindle my neglected art skills. On traditional medium I feel my style has upgraded several times over. Translating that to digital however has not been so successful. I am considering trying to do all my drawing and inking on paper, scanning, and adding color digitally. My third page may experiment with this, so excuse its line-quality when it comes out.

*Is filled with determination.

Well, it has been a while since I have had any real updates. I have worked on my stories for a little bit and my game some but due to life I have not gotten much done. I may elaborate on those life problems at a later date... but probably not. To keep it simple I am in a position where I cannot get as much done as I would like.

The game is still coming along albeit at a diminished pace. I have had to scale it down by multitudes - I was far too ambitious for my first game. Although I have come far from knowing nothing about game design, coding, etc, I still don't know enough and I do not have the time to put in the level of detail I would like. I keep running into road blocks that take hours to overcome. Coding issues, lightning problems, texturing madness, etc. So, my far game project has been altered greatly. Same genre: horror, only this game will be much less story-based. I am really trying to aim for an October release but I'll need a hefty amount of luck and work to make that happen.:bademoticon: 

I have uploaded a page of Of Beasts and Men. It has been far, far too long since I worked on it so since I had some time I decided to pick it back up. I'll try to get back into a better routine but I can only promise to update my comic if I can get enough work done.

I have been so adamant on trying to get work done recently that I have even gone back to drinking Coke - which I don't really like but it keeps me awake and focused enough to get something done. I have worked over... 70 hours this week on projects. Which is surprising because I do not normally get that much done.

I hope to have more for you guys soon.

Greetings,

As any who follow me are aware I have not been updating my DA and my comic in some time. This is because I am currently in the progress of game designing. Yup, just me all by my lonesome. I started this project some time in October and I am very close now to finishing. No spoilers! All I will say is that it is a horror game and that I am quite proud of my work so far. From knowing absolutely NO coding, 3D modeling, you name it, I have almost finished making a game.

I am currently working on prettying it up and to make a game trailer so I can put it up on Steam and hopefully get it greenlit. I am quite sure it will.

I have also been working on numerous books: Beyond the Horizon, Allworld Chronicles, and Relentless: A Rust Story. Relentless is technically already written since it is based off of true events - it is currently half way written. I will continue working on Beyond the Horizon and Allworld Chronicles after I get some more work done on my game. I have a working alpha/prototype but I want to show it off on Steam soon to get the greenlight. After that I will pace myself on my game and go back to work on my books and my comics.

I have too many passions to complete in a single lifetime. But one can try. :)

So, I started writing a new story. I have many stories but this seems to be flowing rather nicely. This is in large part to my recent contemplation on the nature of the universe (pseudo-scientist-mode-activated). I immediately thought of a story to go along with it. As chance would have it www.inkshares.com was holding a contest for "hard science fiction" stories. So, I got to work. I gathered material that I had already written from long ago, added my new thoughts to it, gave it a - VERY - slight polish, and BAM! I have a contest entry for a story. Within a period of 16 hours I have written 2 chapters or 4600 words. I cannot remember the last time I wrote so much. I do not believe that is the most I have ever written in a short amount of time but considering - just like my art skills - I have not written in a very long time I would call it a personal achievement.

So today is my birthday (yippee!). Another year older. Another year wiser. In the case of this birthday - another year drunker. I drank more than I ever have in my life.... And I don't drink. Like, at all. Literally. None, zip, zilch, nada. Not going to lie, myself and everyone else are surprised at how well I hold it. So there is that. :)

Anywho, I am still working on the comic. OB&M is coming along smoothly, I have been busy fleshing out the characters and story line so that when I do get back to actually drawing the damn thing the pages should be coming out at a consistent rate rather than the sporadic rate they have been at. We shall see.

I am tired. One thing this alcohol is definitely doing is making me sleepy. So thank you to all who support my comic simply with views and to all a good night. :)
