So what has Samu-kun been doing for the past 30 days? Well, for one, we know for certain that he has not been updating his blog. XD… Much has happened in the past 30 days, so I shall attempt to summarize them very quickly!
First, huzzah, small miracle has happened and Samu-kun has actually received a real life commission involving real life money. As you probably guessed, it wasn’t 2D related, since my 2D skills aren’t worth paying for. XD But it appears that my 3D works are good enough to be offered for pay, so I was hired by the aero-dynamics department of Iowa State University to make some concept models of their gadgets. Anyways, my brief stint as a commercial 3D artist over now, so my full attention is once again back on SunRiders.
Second, I’ve also been working as an editor for an online English class for elementary schoolers. Yes, you have truly never understood what it feels like to be editing the essays of 10 year olds all day and what effects it has on the brain. cannot proper english speak more no.
So in my Internet adventures for more Gundam 00 images, I happened to run across this picture.
In case you are not well versed in Gundam 00, I give everyone a warning:
THIS GUY IS MALE. A DUDE. NOT A FLAT-CHESTED GIRL. 100% MAN!
Which kind of makes this picture even more funny. XD
Poor Tieria, not only does the Internet community make fun of him, but now they’re even freaking making PORN pictures of him. XD But I guess this is mostly his fault. I mean, c’mon, isn’t that guy due for a haircut about now? And what is up with his obsession with pink? For the most calculating and coldhearted of the Gundam Meisters, he sure loves the colour pink a little too much. I bet if you broke through the state of the art code protecting the door to his bedroom, you’ll find it loaded with teddy bears and Barbie dolls.
Thank god that in the second season, he’s going to get a haircut. Although I would prefer it if he didn’t copy his ex lover’s haircut. -_-; Not a good way to make a good impression to short hair Louise now, is it?
Seriously, this is one anime where I think they spent 90% of the oversized budget on animating those mechas and making the music. The character design may be nowhere as pretty as we saw in Gundam 00, but Macross Frontier is filled with some badass battle sequences. And it’s still lighthearted enough to provide us with some fanservice episodes too. ^_^
These are the first three thoughts that went through my head when I saw that, listed in consecutive order.
1) ZOMG, did Sixten finally join Lemmasoft!?
2) ZOMG, has he finally decided to make a visual novel!?
3) ZOMG, it’s just another guy…
Man, what are the chances of something like that happening? It’s not “Heart’s Contents” but “Heart’s Content” without the S. That’s a 13/14 word match. Could this just be innocent coincidence? Or is this the work of a title snatcher? Dum dum dum…
*sigh* In any case, I got excited today for no reason. -_-; *wanders back to making mechas for SunRider*
(Hopefully I can show everyone a cool looking WIP picture tommarow! ^_^)
Whew… It’s been another day of writing the script for The SunRiders. Right now, I’m about halfway through Chigara’s arc. Which isn’t good, since I was supposed to have finished everyone’s arcs by the 20th. (Haha, fat chance I’ll make the deadline now. -_-;;)
Looking back, a lot of things have changed since I wrote the script for Raidaa no Asahi. I’m not really sure anybody knows this, but the original script for that game was about 35 000 words long. It’s just that only the first 7000 words ever became realized. But I must say, I had a lot of fun writing those 35 000 words, even if so little of it was actually made it into the final product. Because back then, I wrote for my own enjoyment. I wasn’t working based on a fanbase and I pretty much had nothing to lose. I just wrote whatever I wanted to write, and if it didn’t turn out good, I just skipped on to the next page and kept on going.
Obviously, the situation has changed rather drastically since then. XD Now, people have expectations that need to be met. Hell, in just three days, I’ll be joined by more than half a dozen voice actors and actresses who are going to do voice overs for the entire thing! @_@ And this is kind of embaressing, but I think all of them are much better at their art than I am at mine. XD Haha, but don’t anyone tell them that. >:3 I honestly can’t believe the amount of community support this little game has found. I’m really happy this happened. ^_^ I’ve been making games for about six years now, and in every single one of those year, I was dreaming of creating things like the SunRiders. Hahaha. XD
Mmm… But I will not say that this is not without its drawbacks. Writing the script isn’t really as fun as it used to be. Back when I was writing Raidaa, I could just laugh at my mistakes and just keep on going. Now, I have to make sure every single part of the script is almost perfect before I can move on because there’s a lot of people who are counting on me. I guess I’ve stopped writing for myself, and now I write for my audience/staff now. It seems strange. Just a few months ago, I was saying that all that mattered was that I was having fun doing it. Game making back then was for my own fulfillment. Now, I guess game making is done for the fulfillment of the community.
Hah, what am I complaining about. XD I’m sure my fellow game makers will burn me alive and hang my corpse when they see this. Complaining about having too much publicity. What am I, a moron? Hahaha. Okay, I’ll shut up now and get back to working on the script. :3
