New Years Resolution

  I got a New Years resolution going.  Nope, it's not finishing one my game projects - it's cleaning out my gaming backlog.  I'm currently halfway though the "A"'s.  A little worried about the "T" section 'cuz of all the Tom Clancy games I got.

  Was a nice simple Christmas here.  I got a refrigerator, yay!

Projects

  I did some concept art for my main game project.  I wouldn't mind some opinions on how to do the magic system.  I didn't want to copy Zelda 2's magic system, I wanted to do something with charge levels and elemental mixing - but I'm not sure how to go about doing it.  (Not implementing it, I can implement out the wazoo if I had the idea well drawn out)

  I also worked on refining my art style.  A notable thing about many games is character reaction shots when you fail to perform a basic move.  For example, if you swing your sword at a wall:  It's easy to just have the sword go through and spark with a simple "ting and flash", but it's a lot better if the character has a reaction such as recoiling or flinching.

Gaming

  I'm halfway through my games starting with A, currently on Assassin's Creed Revelations.  Next up would be Atom Zombie Smasher.  I got a LONG way to go.

Other

  For the whole year 2011 I lost 45LB - That's right, I lost weight programming and playing games. 

  2011 went by so fast - like a blink of an eye. 

Here's to 2012, Lok
