Day 15 - 20: Second Job, Sickness and Movies

The Casino where I work has finally decided to give us extra hours (which I need in order to pay back the loan I took to come to the US), so I'm basically working 12 hrs or 14 hrs each day.

These past few days I have tackled game design from a minimal aspect and have decided to take on a different approach, one that surprises through the hidden.

I thought about it and said to myself, "If they are not long games, at least they should have a comical aspect to it, some philosophical lining, some magic to extract from within.".

Nothing has come up until now that has made me quit. The idea that I might not have a clue what to create has escaped my thoughts completely and been replaced by the joy of discovery.

I have also been sick the past 3 days. Shit. I haven't been sick the whole year.

Been watching all the movies about Indie Game Development I could find. Surviving Indie, From Bedroom to Millions, The Witness NoClip Documentary, Indie Game The Movie - was really curious the type of things other devs face, the struggles and the happiness, the magic and the grinding - learning a lot.

Love!

Eli.

Dude, Branching Paths is what motivated me to go forward with this project! Really loved the entire movie and I hope to one day be there in Tokyo”

This fills my heart with joy. Hella love from this side of the world man.

As a side note, being sick gives me a different point of view on things. One that I don't have when I am healthy. So, in time, I taught myself to appreciate being sick. It's the busy days that are harder to deal with. Cause you gotta sleep in time so you can wake up, eat (do other human stuff for a bit) and go to work for another 12 hrs.
