Being a man of adventure and opinion I of course want to
express myself. As a result I often get
into debates on my Facebook page, much to the dismay of my friends and
family. So I have decided to stop
posting my opinions, complaints, politics, etc. on FaceBook and instead started
this blog. In addition I'd like to keep
a public journal of my goings on as a Videographer, Tech Contractor and Game
Designer. Facebook has devolved away
from actually posting what's going on in your life (ie an open digital journal)
and is now more about liking photos of people's babies, cats and sharing
memes. So this blog will be functioning as a journal too.
So Who Am I?
Game designer, director, writer, scientist, visionary; these
are the terms I wish I could use to describe myself. Graduating into a down-turned market left me
pushing grocery carts with a Bachelors Degree.
Now, another degree later and in my thirties, my employment situation
hasn’t improved much. Throughout my
college experience, I wrote a large number of screenplays that have taken to
collecting dust upon a shelf. In a
desperate move to feel some sort of accomplishment in my life, I have taken to
adapting these works into a series of novels and video-games. Will this bring me success? Riches?
A sense of self worth? Probably
not, but only time will tell.
So who would want to read this?
I have no idea, I'm writing this for myself more than
anyone. Maybe someone who likes to read
about the process of Game Design, the art of special effects in movies, screen
writing, sculpting miniatures, making
pen and paper Role-playing games?
TheWorldBurns.com is essentially my digital thought board. I will be documenting the progress of my
various projects, which will hopefully include my upcoming Ludum Dare solo
mission on the 17th. I am also taking online classes
through Udemy to advance my Tech certification as well as familiarize myself
with a variety of game engines / build up my programming skills.
Oh and my name is William.
