College, Done

I am officially a college graduate. I have an Associate's Degree of Applied Science, Specializing in Video Game Production with my name on it. It's crazy to think that I'm done with schooling, unless I decide to go back for more. The world awaits, I guess.

Part of me thinks I should have more to say, but then I recall that I mostly cruise through all of my major life events, at this point. It's not that I don't care, just that I accept things as they come along. People have been asking me how I want to celebrate and how it feels, but all I can say is that it's an event and my life continues forward. Seems to be an odd way of thinking, but it's my way. Maybe something will sink in before too long and I'll react in a stronger way.

But hey, I did it! I made a video game with a team, and accomplished a hell of a lot more work to develop and show my other abilities along the way. I've gained a significantly stronger understanding of what it's like to, well, do what I want to do for a living, and even then I know there's still a lot to learn. I'm excited for any opportunities that may await me in the near future.

As far as my art goes, I should return to full productivity now that I've got the time for drawing regularly again. In my spare time over this past semester, I've begun building two new worlds in my head that will surely need a lot of art to display. I may be able to start on a third afterward, if my imagination decides to return to that idea. I'm also going to need to get some new work done on my galaxy and on Eltaren; my established aliens need some visual updates, my other aliens are overdue for visuals, and my fantasy creatures need some attention of their own. That's not even everything I want to work on right now, but I should probably not get too far ahead of myself.

So, yes, I am officially a video game developer. As soon as I get a chance, I will add a link to play the game my team built through your web browser of choice. Until then, I'll see you guys around.
