So I'm either on to something or going insane

Post by pkay » Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:46 pm

Last night sold entire dj setup (minus monitors), both relatively large tv's, sold about 1/3rd of my record collection, cashed out my 401k, cashed out my CD's, sold my PS3, sold my xbox 360, sold my killer instinct 2 arcade cab.

Took money and bought 2 x Sony XDCAM EX PMW-EX3's, bought 5 iphones, and a second imac.

So my living room/office now consists of a couch, a recliner, 2 guitars, a bass, my drum kit, and 2 camera's to record every second I am working on whatever I plan to work on. Ultimate goal is to make an indie game/namely phone port/ with original music (been done i know) but at the same time document the 100's of hours of work involved.

My mom thinks I'm insane and that I did drugs at SxSw. While not exactly false I did have an epiphany that I need to do something 100% mine.

Literally had retirement goal and tv's 48 hours ago.... now i have nothing to do at home but work on this project.

Maybe slightly insane, but it's what you want!

That sounds like an awesome project, keen to see what you make!

Just had my iPhone 4S stolen a few weeks ago so right now I'm rocking a Galaxy S, but as soon as I get it replaced I'll be happy to help :W:

Joking though, good luck with your project! Maybe you should consider a smaller budget though but that's just the part of my brain that's always afraid of shit speaking.

I'm a video game artist by trade (modeler/animator namely)
I've played numerous instruments for 20+ years (since like age 3 piano)
I have many programmer friends.

My goal is to make an indie game based off the cash I have and that a friend of mine have from slaving in corporate gaming for the past 4 years.... at the same time I want to do the soundtrack as well... and for no good reason document it all.

not like documentry greyscale douchiness.... just mounted cameras at certain points while recording, or show how a programmer programs, or how i animate, and how that translates into the level you just played.

budget wasn't really too huge. I dont plan to live past 55 so why exactly am I saving CD's and a 401k? Stupid right?

anywho... i have a bitchin girlfriend who has allowed me 1 year of insanity and then i have to go back to work.... unless i make something innovative then she has to dress up like like Lana from Archer.

Oh, an indie game. Thank fuck for that! For a minute I thought you were sinking all that cash into an indie band. :corntard:
Phew

Good luck, pkay. Really hope everything works out for you!

i actually know of moonbot... forgot where met them.... their app Bullseye is ultimately what I'd be searching for as far as blending app/game with music.

that or superbrothers S&S. I know for a fact i can do art better than 90% of the apps out there so its just coming up with an idea and concept that will mesh with music.
