Dreams

Hello my friends,

I hope you all have had a wonderful week. This week has been pretty exciting for me. I can’t say anything exciting such as getting a job happened, but I did apply to a dream job. I applied for a Game Designer position that is at a dream company of mine. This is a job I saw it and knew it was the perfect job for me. I nearly jumped out of my chair reading it. This is a job I have never wanted more in my life. I will say it made me very paranoid. I’ve been very uneasy about the whole thing and worried that I messed up parts of the application. I’m very hopeful though and I’m ready to give it my all if I get the job.

Other aspects of the past week were exciting as well. I got to play D&D with my dad and brother. That was a lot of fun as I haven’t been able to in a long time. It’s been very nice to explore a world I created with them. I’ve been watching a lot Critical Role as of late to try and figure out more ways to story tell. The Podcast/Twitch show has helped me gain a better understanding of the rules and different strategies. I’ve also been reading the different handbooks to better understand the gameplay. It’s been very exciting for me. This is helping me better understand my craft and how to create stories. I’ve been having a lot of fun making new maps and stories.

Well till next week you guys. I hope you all have a wonderful week and the our dreams continue to move forward. I hope that this week brings wonderful news and more exciting times.

LA Career Event and old friends

Hello my friends,

I hope you guys had a great week last week. My week went very well I had a lot of fun at the career networking event. I also got a chance to see a bunch of different people I hadn’t seen in a long time. I also had a lovely time exploring LA. My first day down I met up with a friend, her fiance, and a few of her friends. We went to little cafe in Hollywood and just hung out for a good hour or so. It was nice seeing them as they moved to LA before I moved back to Seattle. After that I went to my hotel to prepare for the event.

The event itself was awesome. I got to wear my new suit that was my graduation gift from my mom. When I got to the event it started off well as I saw one of my old bosses was working the event, so we chatted for a good amount of time. While walking around the event I ran into a lot of old friends from school and hung out with a close friend and his uncle for lunch. I also met a lot of new people. It was very exciting. The event was lacking in gaming companies, but I still gave my resume’s out to a bunch of cool companies. After the career fair part was a mixer. At the mixer I was able to chat with a lot of different people. I also will be working on a new side project with my close friend, and I look forward to telling you guys more about it in the future.

Well till next time my buddies. I hope you guys have an awesome week and I look forward to telling you guys all about what else is going on.

Beginning D&D Campaign

Hello my friends,

I hope your week has been going well. My week has been very relaxing only a few road bumps. I spent this last week working on different documents. I’ve been writing and editing things for Tales of Mahabharata. Hopefully, they’ll be finished soon. I also spent time with my dad and his side of the family. We played different games and had a lot of fun. We also started a D&D campaign.

With the beginning of this new campaign I’ll have a chance to create a whole new world as well. I’m excited to come up with new stories. It will be interesting though to see how it develops. My brother and I did a mini-adventure in the world I was building, but I quickly learned how strong a level one character is versus kobolds. My brother’s character quickly fell unconscious. It’s difficult though to plan a campaign with only my dad, my brother, and I. I’m used to campaigns with at least four people. I’ll have to get better at planning around this, or find more players.

Well till next week you guys. I hope you all do well and I look forward to letting you guys know how everything is going.

Bollywood & New Kittens

Hello my buddies!

I hope you guys have been having a good week. My week has been pretty relaxed. this past week I put the job hunt on hold for a moment. I instead had to focus on editing and working on the story for Tales of Mahabharata expansion. I enjoy working on it the research itself is very fun. I tend to watch Bollywood shows and read a lot for my research. Some of the old Bollywood episodes are amazing. They also have really good music. So it’s been nice to dive back into it a bit. I’ve also started making a GDD and Story Bible for a game I would like to make in my spare time. Right now the game is more than likely going to be a 2D platformer so that I can encourage myself to learn code and basic art. It should be a lot of fun!

My mom also got two kittens this past weekend. One is a boy and the other is a girl. They’re siblings so they love to play together. The boy is named Moonpie, he’s a very mellow cat. The girl is Soleil, she’s very energetic. They’re quite the pair. Moonpie loves my feet and legs for some reason so he tries to climb them or play with them whenever I sit down to eat. He’s scratched me up quite a bit. They’re cute and fun like babies, but I’m more of a dog person so it’s been interesting.

Well till next week you guys. Have a fun time and enjoy the beginning of Fall!

Week of Rest

Hello my friends,

This past week has been very relaxed and easy. The most stressful parts of this week was the job hunt and the fact the Destiny 2 raid was released. The only reason the raid was stressful was because if you beat it by Tuesday you get access to a special jacket. Sadly, I did not get the raid finished. I will not get that cool jacket more than likely. Other than that my week went pretty well. I applied to several jobs and my cold went away for the most part. It was nice.

This weekend we also had a graduation party for me. It was a bit belated, but it was fun. It was cool to see a lot of people I haven’t seen in a long time. I got to talk to several people I haven’t seen since elementary school. I also got to see one of my oldest friends. My sisters and I always said she was our other sister, and she said we were her siblings. It was the first time we had all been in the same location in awhile. It was also really nice to hear the continued support from my family and friends who all believe in me and want to help me. I look forward to getting out into the industry.

Well till next week you guys. I hope you guys have an awesome week.

Brief Moment of Rest

Hello everyone!

           I apologize for the late post I was very busy yesterday. This past week was my first week being back in Seattle after graduation. It's been a fun week and it was a great way to show off the city to my friend that came up with me. We went to all of the different tourist destinations that we could. We also ate at many of the different restaurants in Seattle. We went to a Funko store in Everett. We also checked out Pike Place Market and the Piers. For food we went to Dick's Drive-In and Ivars. It was nice to just explore the city for a week and relax.

           This week is going to be a week of job hunting and meeting with people. I'm going to be fixing up my different platforms, including this website. I've been in contact with different people form around Seattle and I'm attempting to setup different meetings. I'm hoping these will help me get a better understanding of the job market and possible job opportunities. I'll also be updating my resume. I also have plans to help a friend at PAX West and I can use that to help meet more people.

           Well till next week you guys! I hope you have a wonderful week and I look forward to all of our futures.

Graduated and Back Home

Hello my friends!

           I'm sorry for the late post I was very busy yesterday with family. This past week has been pretty exciting. I got to hangout with family and go to Disney and Universal. I packed up all of my stuff to ship to Seattle. I also got to graduate from my degree. It was an awesome and fun week. I'm now back in Seattle and spending the week with my family again. My roommate also came up to Seattle with me. It's his first time up here so we're going to do all of the classic tourist things before he returns to Florida.

            As for my graduation it was bittersweet. I'm excited to have walked and am now free to go into the world. However, I'm sad to have left my family in Florida. I'm looking forward to pushing myself hard in the industry. I want to return to the Florida, and Full Sail, to see my Florida family and help students. It is time to move forward with my next set of goals. First is to get a job of course. The second is to then return to the school and help the students. Then third would be to become a Hall of Famer for my school. I want to be someone my school and people can rely on to help and work as hard as possible to push them forward. It's exciting and new, so the future is bright.

            Well til next time you guys! I look forward to keeping you informed of everything. I hope you have a fun week and an exciting future.

Crazy Week

Hello my friends!

            I hope all of you had a good week. I've had quite the week. I was able to see Infinity War and had a lot of fun with that. I also went bowling with a bunch of people from my studio. Bowling was great and I had a lot of fun. Sadly, I got a tinge of food poisoning I think from food at the bowling place. The rest of my week was nuts.

            The week started off well enough with studio work and class. However, when the Lead Producer came in on Wednesday apparently there were all sorts of issues. This past week has been us attempting to pick up pieces and figure out our battle plan. This upcoming week will be us continuing to move forward with our plan and trying to fix the issues that happened. The issues that happened were caused by such a minuscule thing any one of the leads, including myself, could have stopped it. I was very disappointed in myself for missing the problem. Now I have been lifted into the spotlight and am on watch to ensure I'm doing the best I can as Lead Designer. I thought I was doing a good job, but apparently I wasn't doing good enough. All in all this has been a huge learning experience and I hope to be able to stop any future thing.

            Well I'll chat with you guys next week. I hope your week goes well and you have a great time. I'm going to try and make it through this next week, without having to fight someone.

Showing off the Studio

Hello everybody!

            I hope your week has gone well. Mine was very busy. I've been running around everywhere. Jumping in and out of meetings. I've also been working around the clock on school and intern work. I had two moments to relax this week with Friday my carpets being replaced, and yesterday getting to have lunch with some friends from GDC. The week was a lot of fun, albeit stressful. I say Friday was a break but I was moving furniture for carpeting and doing homework. I did play a lot of God of War, but it was still a busy day. I'll try to write a review for God of War I need to beat it first though.

            I also got to give the Garry Jones, President of Full Sail, a short tour of the studio I work in. He sat with us for a good twenty minutes and talked to us about life and how proud he was of us. It was an awesome time. It was really funny to interact with him and give him a chance to see what we do. He didn't know that we existed, but now he knows of CelleC and what we do. He told us of a friend of his who is looking for Full Sail students to do some work in VR. This  could lead to the studio and students getting a bit more into the lime light.

            Well till next week you guys. I hope your week goes well, and I wish you all the luck in the world.
