Wow, this year has been a roller coaster of a ride for me. I've been through a lot of ups and downs, some of which I would have never expected.
The good: releasing 2 episodes of 4 swords that have been well received, Participating in a few collabs, winning some NG prizes and other Christmas gifts, meeting new friends.
The bad: My Siamese cat Tigger died in May (I got a new cat though), the negative backlash over a blog I made about sprite movies (Mainly from animation purists), Sprite TV 3 being panned my most critics,my grades were slipping in the university, My GF dumped me early this year and to top it off, I was sick during Christmas day (not fun).
Overall, this year was a mess for me, even though things did improve during these last few months.
What I'm hoping for is that 2009 turns out to be a better year for me. Who knows what will happen, but I'm hoping for the best.
When it comes to animating, I'd love to try something new next year. I've thought about making real drawn animations(apart from continuing my 4 swords series). Some users are even encouraging me to quit sprites altogether,but I don't want to do that just yet. It's still a big step for me to take and there are times that I don't feel ready to move on with bigger projects. But only time will tell. In the mean time, I'm going to continue working with what I do best. I know I'm not making any money out of flash at the moment, but that doesn't really bother me right now as long as I have a loyal fanbase who loves my stuff.
Well enough of that. I'd like to wish you guys a happy and safe 2009.
until next time.
