Heya!
|
|
|
|
It's been a long time since I posted anything here, which by no means is the
|
|
end of this blog or my art journey. Instead I am preparing my next steps while
|
|
going through some changes in my life.
|
|
|
|
I reached a turning point in life with the end of my apprenticeship as IT
|
|
specialist for applications development and got transitioned into a job almost
|
|
instantly. To get settled in with the job, company, commute and everything else
|
|
that comes with it I gave myself four weeks, which are now coming to an end.
|
|
|
|
The other point is my preparation for something bigger. For the past year I
|
|
have been developing story and characters for a series of comics if gradually
|
|
increasing intensity. This takes up quite a bit of my free time I would usually
|
|
spend drawing or pursuing my other hobbies where I instead write my script or
|
|
devour tutorial after tutorial on how to publish webcomics. And lastly I'm
|
|
drawing drawing reference material for said comics, which I don't really want
|
|
to publish right now, as it might contain spoilers.
|
|
|
|
Also my game development projects came to a halt in that time. In that little
|
|
time I spent with it I started remodeling the physics "engine" I wrote to a
|
|
be based on forces applied to objects and calculated to accelerations,
|
|
velocities and movement instead of the other way round. I'm also using some good
|
|
literature on that topic: ["Physics for game developers"][pfgd] by Brian
|
|
Bywalec and David Bourg, which I found to be a good introductory book into the
|
|
topic which transitions into more advanced topics rather nicely.
|
|
|
|
So in conclusion: yes, I am still out here, drawing and plotting. Expect to get
|
|
nice things to look at. I sincerely hope it will be rather sooner than later.
