Writing this for those who've been wondering where I went.

School
I'm in what we call "Lower Sixth Form" at my school in Jamaica, it's literally "Grade 12" in an American system.

I've been stressed lately as I have had to complete a lot of Internal Assessments (Huge subject projects.) which are all due this week. When i'm done it will be straight to studying for the Inter-Caribbean CAPE Unit 1 examinations (sigh).

However when i'm done i'll be free! For a few months of summer holidays. My first exam is May 4th and the last one is June 8th. Can't wait. :)




Game Developement
Zane444 and I decided to create an RPG using some of Bleach Revolution's art. A lot of the game's mechanics are similar but we've changed the whole background of the game to a Mythological setting. I'll probably write more about this in my future blog post as we progress.

We both however have a desire to just release something for people to have fun with (and also to renew any diminished faith in our abilities to complete a project), so you can look out for smaller projects from the both of us (partnered and separate.) I've personally written a design for a tower defense game, i'm literally addicted to those type of games and having been playing Falacy's "Celestial Chaos: Guardians" I've developed the motivation to go forward with it. I'll probably release the game rather soon (Using placeholder art of course.)




Real Life Projects
A few of my friends and I had started a group called "Our Dancehall". We had started it to promote young talent in Jamaica and generally to circulate positive messages and create entertaining content for our fans.

Due to the work we've been doing I've been spending some of my free time lately learning to better utilize programs like Vegas Pro (Video editing software.) and Cinema 4D (3D rendering program.) it's been a lot of fun and i'm wondering now if i'll really major in Software Engineering or go into media. There is a market for it here in Jamaica so who knows.. May be a profitable field to enter?

Videos we've made can be found on the youtube page. Hey if you like it why not just become a fan on facebook while you're at it :] we'd like to go a little global. You may just find the music we promote to your liking too :D

!!!!GRUAHAHAHAAGHHGHGHGHHHH WALLZ OF TEXTZ!!!!
Think i'll introduce some images in my next post :) just to make it a little more interesting.
You're going to be working on an RPG using your old Bleach artwork? I've been making plans for one, but it's more of an action/adventure game. If our ideas are similar enough we might be able to combine our efforts.
@SA - Well my windows live address hasn't changed. (chris_gayle_jm[AT]live[DOT]com) Add me and we'll see.
A duo with you guys and Zane... that would be epic. I approve :D
Well I'm more interested in the ODH project, I mean I'm not the biggest fan of modern day dance or hip hop but I really like what you're doing...I feel that young kids need motivation and more projects like this dedicated to showing their talent.

Kudos*1 million. I'll be bookmarking the channel.
@SA - Added.

@ODazler - Thank you for the support :] tell your friends while you're at it.
Sorry to post it here, but are you ever gonna release the pixel projectile library? ;]
Good to see another Jamaican on BYOND. What are you currently studying in Sixth Form?

Also, good work on the Our Dancehall channel, I think I saw a couple of my old Jamaican friends. Haha.
@Asakura - I will when I have a little bit more free time. Not too long though it's just that i've had to redo some things.

@Unorthodox - I'm doing Economics, Pure Mathematics and Computer Science. Thanks man.
Thank you for finally replying :)

I've been attempting to bug you for a very long time xD
