More work, less health!

This week: Adam whines a bit about his health, shows some stuff he did a couple months ago for Wizards of the Coast, and updates the Waterlollies graph that has become so compulsory.



I've been given the all-clear to mention my work for Wizards of the Coast on a new ONLINE GAME of theirs called "Uncivilized: the Goblin Game". This was yet another awesomely fun assignment, very similar to my 30 shorts project in which each day was a new and completely different challenge.

Without giving anything away about the game, I can reveal that my part of the job involved creating a few icon-sized graphics/animation, as well as a bunch of short animated scenarios (for which I also did a bit of voice acting) that play between levels of achievement in the game.

Here are some screenshots from those shorts:

Shakedown

For updates on the release of Uncivilized, keep an eye on Wizards of the Coast.

Little things are starting to go wrong with me and I put them down as a direct result of my long hours at the computer, for around 80 hrs per week over 2-3 years. Headaches, stomach pain, sudden dizzy spells, backache and minor waves of nausea, not to mention bones and joints that simply hurt when I get out of the chair. My body clock is so out of whack from working all night and sleeping until midday, 7 days a week.

With a tear in my eye, I've decided to quit WoW for a little while and go back to my earlier routine of exercising in the back yard between 2-3am. Perhaps that'll fix some of the biological mess that is my body.

Today was unusually warm for August in Sydney, so we went for a long walk around Iron Cove. I'd almost forgotten what it was like to feel sun and wind on my face. Gotta do more things like that.

Thanks for the comments in the chatbox.. it's required reading for me each day and gives me a much-needed boost.

Thanks (I think) to those few who aggressively demand a Waterlollies update and new graph. While those kinds of comments generally make me want to throw my pen in the air and quit, it does prove that there are people out there who are desperate to see the next Brackenwood. Keeping that in mind gives me the go-ahead nod that says 'you're doing something good'.

I can't wait to release this movie cos I think it's going to be great. Beyond Waterlollies though I can hear echoes from the future: "hurry up with the next one you lazy bastard!!"




I've removed the audio from the graph because it'll only take a few days for each part so therefore, won't be as slow-moving as the animation indicator. Speaking of which, Part C is about 4 minutes long so the graph will probably move slower week-by-week than A and B.

Love from Phillips.
