49 DAYS

49 days, should be even around the same time since my last post, so what has happened, where have I disappeared?

Too long give me a summary

There has been a lot and I mean A LOT of things going on, I tried switching jobs, I tried selling my old car, I tried buying a new car, I tried selling my girlfriends car, I got one year older, my Steemit user has now been here for over a year, I started developing my own phone game with a colleague and so on.. I will now sort of describe who-what-where in case you're interested.

Switching career

As most of you hopefully already know, I currently work at an Casino game company, and we are creating Online Slot Machine games. I've been working in this company since the beginning of January 2017, so almost close to 1.5 years now. I started off as an intern and grew myself to be a full-time Production Artist/Designer Level 1 - Translations.

Translations you ask? I make sure to request game specific translations which I transfer to graphical translated assets, make sure to do them correctly and add them to game. Also my tasks are creating layouts using VFL, creating dynamic paytables using HTML5, CSS3 and SASS.

Some screenshots I'm allowed to actually show of my previous game called KingTusk

So back to the point, this is what I am currently doing, but I'm sort of fed up from doing the same thing over and over and for a pretty sad salary I guess, so I wanted to start developing, I contacted a company which was really interested in me and they gave me a test job which I had to create using PIXI.JS framework. The test was really challenging but really-really awesome, because of a lot of new things I had to learn during the test and a lot of awesome features I had to use such as adding in Spine animations and actually controlling them. Overall goal of the task was to create a combat slot game, so if you spin the reel and an face rolls out, the other NPC will lose an health, if you bet correctly you will get twice your value back.

Sadly I didn't do the test well enough, and I don't blame anyone, because I'm pretty new to framework developing etc, but it was a really fun experience and I'm grateful for this opportunity to develop myself even, I will still train myself to become a better developer and hopefully within the next year I will be able to change my career path to developing.

Cars

So, as mentioned - I tried to sell my and my girlfriends old cars and I have been trying to sell them for like a month now for sure, but things are not going as well as I planned. I almost got rid of mine, we were actually about to seal in the deal, but then the person wasn't able to properly start the car, because I have one electrical issue, so it usually works, but in case of like high humidity weathers, it doesn't want to properly work. So the person bailed and now I'm stuck with it - again haha.

Then about buying new car, I'm a really big fan of German cars, so BMW/AUDI's are really pretty for me and I would love to drive with them, so I decided over an BMW again, I had it all looked out, I even talked with the seller, so I started consulting with the bank, the first car I chose was too expensive for me, and I didn't really want to live anywhere near over my capabilities so I dropped it, the next car was also a bit too expensive for me, so I found the third car, beautiful dark blueish BMW 318 Touring with an Facelift modification, aahhh I really liked the car..

_{This is the official picture of the car}
I talked with the seller to ask if the car is available and it was, so I started talking with the bank to lease the car, the bank gave their agreement and I called the seller ~1 day later to ask if she's ready to sign the papers. That's when she let me know that - "oops the car has been sold, for like a week now, sorry for inconvenience.."

At that point I was ready to give up and cry, because there's not pretty car for me that I can actually have - UNTIL NOW!
I will talk about this in the future post, because first I don't want this one to get too long, and It's not still sure what will happen, and if I even get an agreement, or if the car actually is still available haha.

Birthdays

I got a year older, I know have a number 2 as a first number of my age, I also discovered, that I have created my Steemit user on my actual birthday, which is really awesome and I think it just got confirmed on the 28th of April or something, because I actually did the user before that in my opinion but oh well, now I can celebrate both days at once! So I've now lived in this world over 2 decades and my Steemit user has been here for one full year. Nothing really interesting in this, but just something to write about!

Own Phone Game

There's not really a lot to tell you about this, it's pretty much just the basic project of ours to learn Unity Development and how to get a first thing out to the market, the game itself is actually pretty absurd and pretty simple. I don't want to talk a lot about this, I think I will rather do a post once it's first out on the market, just so you guys would now what is going on in my life, and why the lack of posts.

So that's about it, thank you all for reading this, and remember -

life is beautiful, respect it!
