Progress Ramblings ~ 7.22.2013
Progress Ramblings are meant to be a Monday thing. Today, however, is a Tuesday. I didnāt post this yesterday because yesterday was a fucking nightmare for myself, my friends, and everyone else involved. Believe me when I say that no one knows drama like I do. I try to stay clear of that kind of stuff but when someone spends every damn day talking shit, eventually that bitch has got to fucking go, u feel me?
Anyway. Now that Iām done whining about things I knew were going to happen in a matter of due time, letās get on with the real business.
Last week was focused on developing a new concept - affectionately being referred to as Cuncept - as well as getting together the concept art for said concept; both of which goals were completed.
Not going to be shared. Because Iām having one of my moods where I donāt want to share anything with anyone and would much rather just make things on my own in the shadows where no oneās paying attention to what Iām doing. Iām really particular about the idea that, once you share something of yours with someone else, itās not really yours anymore. Part of it is still yours, of course, but another part of it belongs to whoever you shared it with. Since Iām an only child, I never had to share shit. I jealously guard the things that are my own - especially if itās something I made - even if itās something thatās meant to be sharedā¦like a game.
Just let me coddle it for a little while longer.
And, you know, not to mention that itās really hard to effectively present an idea thatās so underdeveloped. Itās a lot like a baker holding out a mixing bowl full of flower and butter that hasnāt even been mixed yet and saying, āThatās my cake.ā Well, itās not really a cake, is it? Itās just a shit ton of white and yellow stuff that doesnāt really look like anything. And thatās kind of whatās happening when I talk about my game or Cuntcept. The map Iāve showed and vague things I said are the butter and flour for a cake but itās not quite a cake at all. And I mean, thereās a lot of things that butter and flour is used for, u feel me?
People donāt really need to know every single little detail of development anyway. I see a lot of devs do that - they overshare and all the really important details get lost underneath the overwhelming amount of all the small things.
So, basically, the bottom line is that Iāll do the sharing thing once Iām done being a selfish and obsessive bitch over my own ideas.
