I’m going to attempt to post more frequently and at set time/dates in an effort to:
a) Get writing practice on a more habitual basis.
b) Help network in the gaming industry through the blog circuit. (which really is a great form for communication and discussion in such a busy industry)
c) And C: for my own peace of mind recording my musings and thoughts on several subjects including level design, art and sometimes just random cool things I come across in my path.
I’d like to say I’m just starting out, but that was roughly 25 years ago that I was born and that would truely be my approximate starting point if you want to get technical. In truth, I am starting out in this industry (the game industry). I have a lot to learn. I will make mistakes. I will learn from those mistakes. In the meantime, I’ll record my thoughts and ideas no matter how ridiculous they may seem a month, a year, or several years from now.
Fear of failure has stopped me from doing anything creative lately, and being creative and making really rad things is what gives me the most pleasure in life. It’s like having your eyes plucked out, your fingers chopped off and your ear drums popped. Making mistakes and changing is a part of life. Organic. Fear of failure is a non-compliance with nature and no structured laws or well thought out plans will last as long as the organic flourishment of natural progression.
As the Scottish proverb goes: ‘Better to bend than to break.”
