Now that I really think about it, I've actually done quite a lot in various aspects, I'll start off with myself and go onto other things...
MyselfAfter finishing school, i didnt know what I wanted to do with myself, get into a sporting carrer (working in a gym or something) but that wasnt for me. After looking around places, I decided to enroll into college and do games development because 1. I love me some games and 2. I enjoy seeing how they're made and how the mechanics work. As of now, i dont regret that one bit and i probably will never regret it. By the end of my 2 years there, i will have had the chance to actually MAKE my own game by myself or with friends and we already have an idea. This game wont be made on a low budget program like scratch but it will infact be made on either Unity or Cry Engine and we have already started making parts on Cry Engine (for those who dont know, Cry Engine is the equivalent to the Unreal Engine which is used in Far Cry 4 and such) As well as this, a Ubisoft brach just opened in my city and that is where im aiming to get to, Working in Ubisoft.
On top of all of the gaming, i've been doing a lot of work for charity. A couple of years ago, my brother in law, a couple of his friends and myself rode a bike from the north east of England (where i live) to London to watch a Football match (soccer for others). During this, we raised about £15,000 for breast cancer research and didnt get an injury as well as 'appearing' on the radio. The reasoning behind this was just 'Hey, lets do this for charity because we have nothing else to do' we done it because my brother in law lost his mother to breast cancer about a year before the initial fund raising and we all did it for her. now before this gets too sad, im going to move on.
GamingSince im doing a gaming cource in college, i get to play more games that anyone else does. Since i like seeing the mechanics and such, i've been working out little tricks and tip to help me improve. Lets take CS:GO for example. If anyone plays csgo and doesnt know about this, you might want to read. I didnt find this myself, i found a youtube video about it however i tried it with a few friends and it works perfectly. Now the trick is, when throwing a flashbang or other grenade off the ground, it bounces back up to about waist height. On the other hand, if you walk backwards when throwing it, it bounces over the height of 2 player models...remember that. Now im going to put you into a scenario. You're CT on dust II, behind the boxes on site, A terrorist is running in from catwalk and you miss your first few shots. If you crouch, look down at an angle, walk backwards and throw the flashbang the terrorist wont have time to react to it. By the time the flashbang hits the boxes, its already gone off, giving you a free kill. Try it, it works.
Osu!I've been making slight improvements on osu over the past few days, I passed my first maps that are 4 stars and AR8, but when i havent been doing so good, ive been watching back at my own replays as well as other peoples replays and an auto run of the beatmap to see where my problems are. I notice that i need to work on my jumps and my streams just a bit. I have also reduced the amount of times i retry a map from 5 to 3. If i dont pass the map in 3 tries, i play others for about 30 - 45 minutes and go back to the map im struggling on. I actually passed Everything Will Freeze [Insane] like this. I freaked out in chat :/
MusicAfter getting so into music, i decided to go out of my way and buy FL Studio 12 as well as a few plugins for it. Im now teaching myself, pretty much, how to make my own songs. I'm startig to make Hardstyle under the name ObliivEden and am still yet to finish my first song. It took me 4 months to make a hardstyle kick and currently hae a draft of my first song on soundcloud which i dont have a name for but i am tempted to name it 'Ambience'. Currently, i let my emotions decide the song will sound. If im sad, a rather emotional melody, if im happy, a nice up-beat melody. If you want to listen to the first draft of the song the link is
Here.
Sorry for the lengthy responce but that is everything. Doing all of this has made me so much happier because i actually get to do what I want to do and im not forced to do things like i was in school. Everything i have mentioned can link into my own happiness as well as my education and i couldnt be more thankful for this opportunity. I get to make my own things. Games, Music, Everything!
