INFO: Plans for 2018
8 years ago
Hearken to me, my subjects!
OOC
I should have posted this journal 2 weeks ago. Already a bit of a rocky start to 2018 for this fennec and his lack-of-discipline. But, in all sincerity, this post is going to look a lot like last year's plans since I missed almost all of my goals. XP But here goes 'nothing.
1. Publish a damn game. I am *so close* to being done with something extraordinary, but I constantly underestimate how much work is left undone. The technical hurdles have been defeated, but tying it all together with a nice bow is taking forever. And then once this game is done, I want to publish several smaller ones in rapid succession. The goal is to have a nice selection going into 2019, when development will begin (in earnest) in a furry game.
Announcements MIGHT(?) be published here for the game company. I'm starting to wonder if the world is ready for a game company lead by an admitted furry. Maybe its not such a good idea to link to the company to my fursona. I'm sure it will come out eventually... so it might be a question of whether or not I should be open about it, or just own it once it does slip out. Comments down below?
2. Comic commissions in the pipeline are still in the pipeline. Artists seem slow in getting them done, and I understand. Its a bit of a gauntlet. I might start doing comics myself, but I need to practice up on my artwork. With so much time spent on my game company, I haven't been spending as much time as I should on just regular-old sketching, so my skills have unfortunately atrophied. So-much that I want to do.... so little time.
3. I've already started the YouTube channel that I teased last year - there just isn't anything on it except for experimental videos. I just don't see a point in doing a bunch of game related stuff until we actually launch a game. So - yes, still in the works, no not ready yet. (I feel like this is an ongoing theme.)
4. Being more IC - I keep doing these OOC posts, but the whole point of Etheras (as opposed to Jaspian) was to play Etheras IC almost 100% of the time, and for Jaspian to be my OOC "fursona". I need to get back into that, but I've been having some problems (I'll talk about this in a future journal - maybe all of you can help me out a little bit).
And umm - that's it. Sorry if this post has been a little dry. But yeah... thanks for reading!
Cheers,

3D is, in some ways, a lot easier these days than 2D, since tools for 3D get a lot more love from the industry. Also - the costs are frontloaded, so its cheaper to make larger games in 3D. Most of the effort goes into making models and rigging, but once that's done adding additional animations is pretty quick. But with 2D, every cell is about the same effort as every other cell.
Also I like how unconstrained 3D is. You can put the camera anywhere and stuff.
