Feeling Like Awesome Is Coming

Posted on by magicrat_larry

So I am sitting here today, feeling like awesome is coming.  I’ve been working very hard on this project and putting a lot into it and it does feel like it could pay off with a load of awesome soon.  I have no idea what that will look like, but that feeling is cool none the less.

We have a lot of things building up to a moment where we put our idea out to the world in a larger cohesive manner.  Where people can be brought into the fold of what is truly being built.  It will be both amazing and scary to ask the world, hey is this great or what?  Not sure what’ll happen, but it does feel like a giant delivery of awesome is about to arrive.

What I learned along the way though, is help others promote their projects so there is a vibrant community for yours to live in.  So I do take time every morning to find something that deserves a delivery of awesome and do my part by giving them feedback.  It is rewarding for me and them because we are all better for it.  It keeps projects moving, it fuels greatness, and makes passion thrive.

So all you game developers out there, or others with great projects, keep it up.  People are watching you.  If you bring it to the world, eventually the world will bring the awesome to you.  In the beginning you push your project, your passion, after a while it pushes you.

Hello, Let me Grab This By the Face

You know what I do?  I see something, I learn it quickly, then I grab it by the face and never let go.  Not sure if this is the right way to do things, but for game development it seems to be a good thing.  See, I love the visual effects, so what did I do?

I saw games, said I wanna do that.  I learned how to do it quickly just by doing things.  I then grabbed it by the face and have never let go since.  What do I mean by grabbing it by the face?  Well, I mean that you don’t just do it, you live it.  To really excel at something, you need to make it part of your life.  Part of your life so much, that if you stopped doing it, you would be left with an empty hole.

So that is what I do, I constantly feel like I’m riding a raging bull an I love every second of it.  Try it for a while and see how fun it is.  Take something you like to do.  Grab it by the face and see what happens.  It’ll hurt, it’ll be exhilarating, but it’ll be worth every second of it.
