Interstellar is Good.

I saw Interstellar yesterday and I have to say it's pretty damn good. Go see it if you haven't and you like sci-fi films. That is all.

Storyboard is done now and writing has begun. I already have a decent amount done so progress is pretty good. There is nothing else to talk about. Go do something more productive now.

Shirt Choices and World Religions

This week has been pretty good for me and pretty good for mankind.

First off, a probe has made a soft landing on a comet and I think that is not only an awesome scientific achievement but also something that sounds super freaking cool, and what happened to one of the people who helped that happen? He got berated for a shirt he was wearing. I'm not going into detail on my opinions here but this post written by some random person I don't know sums it up pretty well and probably more eloquently than I ever could: http://imgur.com/WYo534d.jpg

Now onto myself. Progress is being made slowly but steadily on all fronts from personal stuff, to uni stuff, to most importantly, game stuff. Storyboard is done bar one final scene or two and I've done a lot of work in developing the lore of my world. At the moment in fact I'm doing research into religions as I'm beginning to define each races religions and beliefs. Which is something that is actually pretty hard. I don't want to mirror real world religions too much with a stereotypical Egyptian belief system, a Christian system and some Cultists mixed in. But on the other hand a lot of stuff is forgiven if I do create religions similar to ones people may already know. Presumptions can be made on their behalf which will save effort on my behalf. It's a tough decision and not one I'm making quickly. Either way the races histories and culture is going to make leaps and bounds now and that is something that seems like it is going to be fun.

Just to make a simple (and if I'm honest actually quite lame) example. Think about writing and how it had evolved during the middle ages. Think of how only a small percentage knew how to read and write. Those people were either very rich or very religious. Religion has played a huge part in societal growth in our history and it'll be interesting to see how I can weave it into another history. Anyway stuff is happening and production is being made so, yay.

Storyboard NOT ACTUALLY COMPLETE AS ONCE THOUGHT!

Yeah... So it turns out that the final idea I had was a little bit more shit than initially thought. On the downside this project that was meant to be simple and little isn't going to be finished for a while still. On the upside however it is actually going to be a good bit longer when finished and hopefully a lot more interesting now that I've taken it from a small not that important story to something a little more interesting. Locations are being mentioned as are themes of magic and other creatures I haven't even invented yet. So with my writing skills and a little luck this should actually turn out to be quite an interesting story!

Onto other things. I don't update this nearly enough to call it a working journal, so to rectify that I'm now going to update it weekly every Sunday at least. I'll do the usual and write about how I've done less than I wanted but more than I expected to and I'm going to start making the place look a little nicer as we get into December. At the moment this blog looks crap. HINT: That's because it is.
