Its been an awful long time since my last entry here, a lot had happened to me and Lunavark since.
We are now an OFFICIAL COMPANY, we have a publisher! and we're currently in a PRE-PRODUCTION STAGE working on a brand new project which we are unable to announce anywhere (due to legal issues), but Cosmic Couch unfortunately had to be put on the shelf for the time being. It hasn't been easy and certainly the last few months was basically a 'mixed bag of emotions' for me to say the least.
However, this 'devilish' offer we managed to secure with whatever perks or difficulties they may present us with - seems promising. I had my moments of uncertainty, and considered heavily on heading back to Asia, but now I'm 200% looking forward to pushing this project to see the light of day, very very soon.
There's not a lot that I can say at this very moment about what we're doing but damnit it is such a creatively uninspiring process - when all I desire is just to make a meaningful Video Game as my own company; that expresses emotions/ concepts which celebrates humanity (or inhumanity mostly) or just whatever I want to express at the moment as a human being, however in order to do this there are shit-tons of steps to follow that I feel so incredibly taxing as a creative person and especially as a fresh-graduate who spent most yrs of his life living in an artsy-fartsy bubble. I guess this is a good eye opener in a way and it'll just be the same for any corporate industry, well Lunavark and I pushed ourselves beyond our limits for this moment creatively and now, we've got the gig and I am well aware of what an incredible opportunity this is so I'm willing to take this insane challenge down (and teabag it).
Anyway, just like a lot of artists throughout time and space from Van Gogh to Warhol to Lennon to Sakamoto, who did SELF-PORTRAITS in various forms of media - I've done one to reflect upon this moment and also to commemorate this massive crossroad in my life.
REFLECTION (Nov 2013)
I probably need a haircut.
