My first update as a ripe 26-year old.

Progress for Vol II has been a bit slow since I was pretty sick for the last couple of days, but apart from the usual cough, I'll feel as right as rain soon enough. Because my brain is still feeling a bit sluggish, I decided to dedicate some time to making maps rather than writing out cutscenes or doing the bum-numbing databasing ( overhauled the entire thing and did stuff from scratch ).




For all the prettiness, it just isn't enough to make me stand out as a dev...

I am pretty proud of my level-design skills and that the games I make all have a very distinctive look about them. Most people want to know how I get that atmosphere in my games ( and it is pretty bloody good, if I say so myself. Honestly, I just get drawn into the world of Tairngire whenever I put my headphones on and play the game in full-screen ) . Dunno if others feel the same way. I wouldn't know.

Music is my muse, guys. Music. And feedback drives me. Seriously, it does.

Because Enelysion is so steeped in Celtic mythology, I tend to listen to a lot of New Age tracks when designing my maps but most of the time I listen to Enya's early albums. It really gets my creative juices flowing. I wish I could do more with my abilities, but heh, I'm a lone wolf developer. Me against the 10+ team member games here... Which tend to be ridiculously overrated.

But I will come out guns blazing for 2014. I have a goal, after all. >:) And LoTL's getting no love. ;_; ( 77 downloads... Man, that is depressing as hell ).
