The Galactic Council Episode Three

Decided to take it down a more comedic route this episode, not sure if it was too over the top but I prefer it being funny as I feel it wouldn't do well being serious! This is the longest episode yet thanks to the opening dialogue, hopefully this is one of many more to come, not sure how many episodes I'm going to do before I call the season ended

The Galactic Council Episode Two

The Second in the series, this episode follows the captain as he passes an orcish empire warning post and catches a glimpse of the red ship. this episode is slightly longer than yesterdays and has a whole lot more script and voice acting, glad its finished though. Hoping I can keep it up and maybe gain some kind of following for it, if it's any good

The Galactic Council Episode One

Trippy Space Skull

Wastes Videos

Having done a little run through of the wastes I got a taste for doing lets plays of them and did another, I may do more, the best idea for growing the youtube channel is content, so I'm gonna keep it coming

Old Animations

I've converted some old .swf file flash animations I did a few years back into video format and posted them on my youtube channel, it's got me thinking about doing new animation serieses, I was thinking about doing a little sci-fi animation series about exploration and weird stuff.

Here are the four animations I've uploaded today.

Voice Acting Update

As a result of 30 auditions for various roles I have been given three roles in a fallout 4 mod, it's unpaid and it's just a mod, but I am a big fan of mods and have always wanted to be part of one! though its unpaid it's a start for my voice acting portfolio! I'm excited

Warsim 0.6.3.9

Coded a new update of warsim today, here's the changelog

Originally this update was going to be an update based around fixing old things but for the most part the crowning gem of this update are the new buildings, every kingdom now has three buildings, each give bonuses of some kind, there are currently five.

Totem - does nothing currently
Fortress - provides 1 extra soldier per land
Outpost - provides 1 extra soldier per land
Gold Mine - provides up to 15 gold per land
and Village - provides a relevant amount of peasants per land

They will never change and they follow an architectural style which will be unique to that faction, I have also added a few new things and tweaks and suggestions as well as made a start on updating independent leader reactions to things making diplomacy even more dynamic. Also huge thanks to u/justjohnitalia for being the first donator to warsim! It means the world!

* Updated Menu with new ascii characters (credit u/Kerbobotat)
* Fixed half- creature text bug
* Fixed no land shown for minor bandits in spy report

Warsim Growth!

It's nothing huge but with 10 new subscribers last night and 33 this morning the warsim subreddit is growing a lot more, hopefully with this new injection of players the sub will be more lively!

I can't wait to code and post a new version of the game to see the response

New Youtube Channel - Luna The Dog

Having recently gotten a cute little labrador puppy I thought it might be wise to upload videos of her to a special youtube channel, animal videos are popular on youtube so perhaps I could be a part of that, the channel is empty as the moment but there will be more to come!

Redbubble

I've bought things from Redbubble before and though I haven't got much in the way of t-shirt designs there are certainly a few things that would go well as stickers, I've uploaded some of my old trippy designs and photoshop experiments.

   
I was thinking of also adding a bunch of the randomly generated faces and things from Warsim onto Redbubble, some of them look quirky and would make decent stickers the art style may appeal even to those who don't play the game



Though perhaps when the community of warsim grows a little more there will be some people who might like a randomly generated face sticker to support me and the game as well as having a nice little souvenir!

Voice Acting

Haven't got much experience with voice acting, but I have a computer with a microphone, I have set up an account on www.castingcall.club and I'm recording samples for everything I can get my hands on, the plan is to practice voice acting through this, gain some experience under my belt and build a little portfolio to help me get the paid jobs!

The Plan

This blog may never pick up, and it may be dropped but for the time being it exists to follow my progress attempting to reach my dreams, my dream is to motorbike across south east asia for a few months, I plan on building several income streams that will make me money while I travel and saving up some money on the side, I am trying to do everything I can and currently have several projects on the go.

I've never enjoyed my previous employments so much, officework, barwork and hotel work, but making money myself has been a very freeing experience! I hope to push beyond the need to work for someone else and have enough sustainable income myself
