Commission board is.... opened...? I'm in a weird situation.
If you happen to be a German, I would need your help.
Ich wäre euch sehr dankbar für eure Hilfe, insbesondere wenn ihr Deutsche seid.
Hello, everyone. This may sound sudden or weird, but I would appreciate your help, especially if you are a German. I’m currently residing in Berlin with a working holiday visa. But there’s a limit of what I can do with this visa, as it doesn’t allow me to do the freelancing job. As you can see, I’m a digital artist with a game developer background, and freelancing artwork is my means of support when I don’t have a full-time job. Besides, I found the indie game development scene in Berlin quite fascinating from my experience with Games Ground and Talk and Play events. I’d love to participate in the scene but without the downtime or hurdles. So it is my goal to get the German Freelancer Visa. With that I can use my German bank account to actually open up my art/animation work services. To get the Visa, I need to get the letter of intent from a potential customer or companies IN GERMANY, but the current indie game dev sphere in Germany is… seemingly frozen, so I’m planning to set up the illustration commission board, and get a lot of commission letters from people instead. In case you don’t know, a letter of intent is not a contract. Which means it doesn’t have a legal power that I or the government can use to pressure you. So, casually, if you want to try out my service, or just want to help, it would be nice to send me a letter of intent. Also here’s my additional offering. If I get my Freelancer Visa approved, I would halve the cost of my first artwork for the clients who sent me the letters. No matter the type. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, even just a share would mean a lot to me.

#MagentaHorizon #indieDev #ActionGame Hope you like combo extenders. Not from you, of course. From the bosses.

Okay Wednesday season 2 is much much better than season 1 in every department. Maybe Tim Burton got his spirit back.

magenta horizon makes good on how hesitant a lot of games are to mix and match their enemy types in insane ways. this game has like 9 billion enemies and i would be surprised if less than like 80% of them showed up together at some point. even certain bosses will randomly get in the mix! it's fucked

Finally finished reading a german children literature; Wilkommen bei den Grauses. Took two months and lots of sticker notes. Nicht langweilig für ein Kinderbuch.

Trying to be on a high horse again, I think my game has made an answer for all the "design discourses" that happened in those games, and yet barely anyone is talking about it. It's like action gamers want to have more pit-fighting instead of playing actually good games.

I don’t know if the outcome is good or not, but cooking makes me feel better as a functioning person.

short naps should make me feel refreshed but they make me feel miserable instead when I wake up.

THE SLOP of South Korea - Army Soup. Toss the chunk of spam, ramen noodles, leftover kimchi into one pot, and voila you have a taste of miracle.

The pain of the award season is not about cringing at the nominees. It’s about reminding myself that there’s no way I can be an upper echelon developer by being true to myself. The dissonance between my ideal game and the general public alone would lock me forever in the obscurity.
