Full Throttle

Journal Entry: Fri May 2, 2008, 10:14 AM
  • Mood: Zeal
  • Listening to: Sutter Kain - Cannibal Ferox
I'm going to take a little break from my Game Maker spree and try my hand at F.E.A.R. Editor, Radiant Editor, Unreal Editor, and Valve Hammer, to make levels (a.k.a. "maps") for Epic Games' Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3, ID Software's Doom 3 and Quake 4, Monolith's F.E.A.R., and Valve's Half-Life 2 and Counter-strike: Source. I'm going to be very rusty, of course, so don't expect anything professional out of me! I used to create my own maps for Half-Life, Quake 2, and Unreal 2 a long time ago, so if I'm going to be in the game design business, then I'm going to have to bring myself back up to speed, get a head start, and go full throttle until I find my niche. I'll possibly supply a few screen shots and maybe even the appropriate files necessary to play my levels, but again, they aren't going to be anything spectacular. I'm still going to be doing art, so don't worry about that!

Also, it's been a little while since I've brought up school and how my hunt for a college has been. I'm most likely going to end up in the Art Institute of Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona or the ITT Technical Institute in Tempe, Arizona to continue my pursuit for a bachelor's degree in game design. I'm still in the middle of communicating back and forth between the 2 colleges, so I'll let you know what's up with all of that in the near future as I make progress.

Wow, that would be awesome :D good luck with that!

I'm doing fine as well. The first weeks of uni haven't been exactly the best yet but I'll survive, I guess ;)

No problem, it was my pleasure!

You've no idea how much I love Prey. ^^ It's probably one of the best FPS games I've ever played. It brought a lot of new elements to a redundant genre, I say. :3 The creators' headquarters is about a 5 hour drive from where I live. Maybe I can work for them when I get my bachelor's in game design. ;P

Anyway, I'm doing great. ^^ How about yourself? Haven't talked to you in a while. Thank you very much for having a featured spot for me in your journal, by the way! :hug:

Oh wow, you played Prey! It's one of the most amazing games I've ever played. *drools over it*

How's it goin'?
~stoneblind:iconstoneblind: Mar 23, 2008, 5:05:47 PM
Well, that sounds pretty ambitious. ^^ I'm sure that you'll make it! It'll all definitely be worth it in the long run. :) As for adding me on your AIM, I'm cool with that. :B I've added you back. ^^

Thanks, I may go over to do an MA at an American university after I get my degree, so I can immigrate on a student visa. Visas are kinda complicated to get when moving to the US and it's really hard to get full citizenship so meh, one step at a time really. :) Oh and I've added you to AIM if that's ok!
~stoneblind:iconstoneblind: Mar 21, 2008, 6:29:52 AM
I think you'd be a damned fine animator. You've definitely got the style for it. ^^ I wish you the best of luck, and hope you do great in the US. :) Anyway, thanks for watching me back. Can't wait to check out more of your work. :P

I'm doing alright thanks, currently doing an animation degree in University then plan to move to the states. I have to do my homework first though, and find a job over there but that's my intention anyhow. :)

Don't worry btw I think I did the same, I've messed my watch list up so many times I barely know who's on there anymore. I'll add ya back :)
~stoneblind:iconstoneblind: Mar 18, 2008, 9:18:50 PM
Damn, you're right. o.o It's been like, forever. It's good to hear from you again. I'm doing pretty good, in both my art and life in general. How about yourself? Speaking of you, I don't know why you aren't on my watch list anymore. o.o I must've accidentally removed you when cleaning it up. I'll have to fix that and add you on it again. :P Take care!

XP I'd hate to have a bad R key. That's how I reload in my games. :O

Well, you've certainly improved a lot!! I was a bit like WTF, when I clicked on my messages i had a comment from you and the ancient icon was on it. But when I went to the next page it was back to normal. DA must have got confused because you submitted a new one. which by the way as updated, yes.

The background was from: [link] but now it's changed to the one from [link] As for the very old icon from years back, I remember that. XP Man, I sucked back then. :P

wait, what was the background before? It might have updated. But for a few minutes, it changed to the icon you had about 2 or 3 years ago, with an ultra old picture in it.. before you changed your style!

It's back? It's still the same on my end. o.o That's weird. I didn't change it much, though. The new one's pretty much the same. It's still Rasmus' head, except it's in front of a different background, that's all. Wonder why it changed back on your end. o.o

Yes, I've changed it. ^^ I just felt like it for some reason. o.o I should change it just a tiny bit everyday just so I can get people to think, "WTF?" so they can visit my page to ask me. XD

~stoneblind:iconstoneblind: Jul 10, 2007, 4:53:02 PM
I haven't seen that advertisement picture before, but you're right in that it bears a hint of my style in it. ^^ As for his art in general, it's pretty different, but again, I see what you mean by that picture. :3

That picture kind of reminded me of your art
