Some Things

2 min read

Hi.

Just some things I'd like to share as of late on here. Other than completing this Spring term's finals for finals week, Been taking driving lessons after getting my learner's permit earlier this year and for the first time in my life applied to job for a position of lighting artist(Remote contract) at Retro Studios. To gain some job/lighting effect experience, despite in the middle of completing my bachelor's degree. (Thankfully, nearly done with it. With 122 met over the hour requirement and 4 core degree courses left remaining. By next spring I finally graduate!) However, I'm not sure if I'll get accepted or not. Also, I will be undergoing nasal polyp surgery for a second time by the end of this month(The first time was when I was a teen in high school.) so hopefully I'll be ok, God willing!


As for art related stuff, my AngelKnight's game story plot is coming to a close and then I plan on working its sequel afterwards! Hooray! (Been working on its story for 4 years now, what a milestone that is!) Possibly, I'll be doing the same for my other series project: Cosmic Gravity. Doing its game plot sometime in between. Lastly, did a recent short-story for my Writing for Interactive Media class final project in a Text-Adventure format via Twine. If I'm unable to upload the HTML file of it, I'll have to do it the old fashion way with the player choices shown in stash or regular literature format. The story in question is called, Millie & The Alien.

I'll be uploading some of my class assignments done from this class along with few assignments from my Business in New Media class. Including, more surprises along the way.


ENJOY!!!!

Morning and hi everyone! Here's our final/gold master build game for our Game Development and Production group final project! I worked on 3 NPCs and did their idle animations in Aseprite. (Spoiler Alert!!!: They're in the rundown chapel.) Enjoy!

As the title says, I've been very occupied this year. Especially, with life and university classes in general. Since, I now moved from Texas to North Carolina. One of the most HARDEST things I've done as an artist(and I bet most if not all artists have done) is throw out my old art & fan art from when I was in middle to high school. Man, I used to draw a LOT didn't I? Heh-heh! Though, kept some good ones and may post them or do a Draw this Again meme on here at some point! Likewise, will post my collaborative works from my Game Development & Production class this fall. After the final build for our Final project is submitted tomorrow. Including, whenever my group's final group project Android App for our Wearable & Mobile Apps class is graded.


Lastly, as for my AngelKnights game's story plot, it's nearing a close with only two Cases/Chs/LVs remaining. I'm happy I've been pushing myself to write this! So, stay tuned for any other more art including, what was mentioned above! Later! Pikachu Wave

I’m doing quite alright as I had finished my final class projects for spring 2023.

Now, I plan on tackling 4 courses this fall. Which is a huge step from taking double classes as I complete my bachelor’s degree. I had a wonderful experience learning more about animation and video game development from taking ADV 2D Animation and Game Systems Dev 2(C# Language programing with Unity). Even working on class projects in a collaborative sense was a fun learning curve to witness! I gained a bit more familiarity with using Toon Boom Harmony and Unity/Visual Studio for the majority of assignments from those two classes .



Such as doing hand-drawn/frame-by-frame FX studies on electricity, animating a music video shot on a collaborative film project and developing a small midterm mini-game.

Electricity FX Study: Lightning Animation
FX Study Plasma Ball(Eyes)
FX Study Laser Pen

Were all challenging, but a thrilling proficiency to earn! Also, (aside from doing only one ¾ view for a group project for Digital Portfolio back in fall 2022.)I’ve never done a full character turnaround with two ¾ views before! So doing one on my OC: Nebula in the past and currently Gena, is such an amazing ride to go through and see how much I’ve improved.

Moreover, I had a field day developing/designing another final video game group project. My party and I did for our GSD2 course.



It was based on another series project of mine I originally “postponed” since its story felt like an AngelKnights sequel, but decide to bring it back to life with help from my friends for our group project. Titled, Cosmic Gravity. For the demo game I did a collab with :iconchocolatechipcracken:’s OCs for the remaining alien agents that needed to be rescued in the 2nd level, including the tutorial/navigator feature as the 4 of us worked on the game. Since, I didn’t have enough time to design the 2nd level characters and I just recently brought the idea back. Unlike the AngelKnights 3D tech-demo remake, Cosmic Gravity wasn’t featured in this spring year’s Convergence Con at the university. But it was a delightful experience and I still thank my friends for helping me bring another series project to life!

Cosmic Gravity Character Select Screen BETA Build
Stella (Player) Spritesheet CG
Volume (Player) Spritesheet CG
Rogue Security Guard (Enemy) Spritesheet CG
Rouge Researcher (Enemy) Spritesheet CG
Prof.Atoms (Boss) Spritesheet CG

Plus, one of my teammates/ classmates was there and won an award for sculpting a 3D model/game asset of a Pizzeria! Anyways, as for my AngelKnights series project. Finally…FINALLY! I had recently begun to flesh out its legend in screenplay format(Thanks to some writing stories techniques taught in Digital Storytelling class during fall 2022. Which rubbed off on me.). If wasn’t for some fanfictions or original stories done by some good friends on here, few roleplays done with them in the past(even present) or on other sites like www.FanFiction.net As well as, other forms of original fiction/non-fiction literature and various other inspirations. I wouldn’t have pushed myself to get where I am now with this!



So thank you God and thank you all!

Not sure if I will or don't know where this scene would play out for part 8 of AKs Case#2 but it's hilarious!:


(Cyber Realm)


(New Boolean Monarch)

(Star Capital Mall)


(Night)


(Decibel's main radio studio/throne room(Hacked!), 2F)


Petabyte(Galvanized): (Gathering more data on Discharge; Shocked) Oh no! ?! GAH! (does a minor wild take as he witnesses a rather not-so-pleased, Discharge at the now open french door)


Discharge: HEY! What do you think you're doing in my office, Pharaoh?!


Petabyte(Galvanized) (Gulp)Y-YOUR office? Mai it's-a not! It's MY COUSIN'S! You-a just took it from-a him!


Discharge(Galvanized): Does it look like I care? Wait! Are you(Livid) compromising MY DATA?! (Storming up to Petabyte)


Petabyte(Galvanized): (Weak chuckle; cracks a nervous grin; quickly blasts a chandelier above the miffed Cyberloid Wasp approaching him with one of his upperarm cannons. the Cyberloid butterfly then zap fades into one of the sonars as he transmits himself back to Decibel by electric current)


Discharge(Galvanized) Oof'mph! (gets the chandelier off him; takes off his shades, revealing to be a Weapoid!To his Weapoid, Leaker) TRACK HIM!!


Leaker(Discharge's Weapoid companion): (does as told)


(Garage Area, Decibel's back up radio studio/throne room, B1)


Petabyte:(Transmitted out from his cousin's computer screen) Cuzzi! I've got some-a good news and bad!


Decibel: Hey, whoa there P'byte! Slow down, ha! Tell me everything ya, need to!


Petabyte: The good-a news is I was able to-a debug that lock on your-a main throne room door. The bad is-a I just learned Discharge's real last name. It's-a...(Whispers in his big city cousin's ear)


Decibel: (Wide-eyed; Half-astonished) Well, ain't that truth...!

Petabyte: Eep!(Swiftly points to his right)


Decibel: ?-! (Turns around; Sees a rather fuming Galvanized Discharge up in his face, scrunching up his nose as he proceeds to vent at him; Unenthusiastic) Oh hello, "Strings".


Discharge: BANKS!!! WHAT'S BIG IDEA SENDING OVER YOUR COUSIN TO PRY PERSONAL ARCHIVES ON ME?!


Decibel: Says the double agent who's trying leak intel from us to back to his employers. Plus, Petabyte sent himself by his own free-will not yours truly. (Smug grin)


Discharge(Galvanized): Why you! Listen, you Honey-Making Diplomat! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I-

(ClINK!)


(Decibel literally mutes him by a pressing a mute button on his control panel)


Discharge(Galvanized): (Yelling/venting in silence while closed captions appear)


Decibel: (Unmutes him)Mm-hm! Anything else you'd like to add~? (Sly grin)


Discharge: This isn't over for you and your two royal "guards", kingy! (Zap fades away)
