I just turned 20 Years old, been here since I was 13, can you believe that... actually old cigarettes could.
Since its my 20th I'd like to give a shout out to Blockland itself being the one thing that drove me to where I am now. With out it I wouldn't of believed that game development was possible, creating 3D art and enjoying life in general. I am currently writing up a several page story on my Blockland Journey but for now this'll do.
Started playing Blockland back in 2005, by the end of that year I started messing with Milkshape 3D which then over time developed in to rubbish "Mods" for v0002, after that picked up a copy of Torque Game Engine and started messing with it, couple years on I did a Cert II course which taught me the basics of 3DS Max, continued to mess with that, 2 years ago started a Cert IV, last year continued that into an Adv. Diploma of Game Art Development and now.... I'm currently starting an Indie Company.
All thanks to lil old Blockland.
When I look back in the early days I was actually going through some really bad depression but I always had something to fall back to that really helped me, even though I struggled with simple things like Grammar and simple language skills.
Side note, when I get a chance I'll be doing some 3DS Max Blockland related tutorials as Manty showed me that someone had developed v24 DTS for 3ds max's latest versions.
Edit:
Playing as a Zombie Stunt Man Extra in a local film called "Theater of the Dead".
Forgot to mention, I'm going to America in about a weeks time! I'll be attending the Game Developers Conference through my scholarship with my school (
AIE). So I'll be in Sans Fransisco, I won't mind meeting anyone if they're attending GDC (Highly unlikely) but I will be cursing around SF. Quick mention about AIE, they're the school I've been getting all my game development education from and they're finally setting up shop in the USA... I highly recommend them mainly due to the fact I now teach part time with them.
