Tools of the Trade

Today was the day I had called a developer studio for the first time, and I recieved the answering machine. After leaving a very shaky voice message in their voice box I have decided to call again later, this time with a bit more bollucks in my voice. Seriously, my voice, on that machine, probably wasn't the brightest idea. I was more nervous than I have ever been previously.

On to the brighter topic of this post. In preparation for a job in the game industry, I have decided to gain some valuable skills as a dev member. Being more creative than analytical, I have chosen character modeling and level design as my avenue. While in Barnes and Noble I picked up an introductory manual on Maya, and also a For Dummies C++ book. The next item on my list of items to own is Unreal Tournament III. Since the game comes with Unreal Engine 3, and the modding community is thriving.

In the following updates I'll post my progress in these endeavors, but it will be quite a while for my efforts bear results.

Ciao for now!
