Life - Forget

Life - Forget

To be willingly forgotten, is to be cast away and the memory removed.  To be willingly forgotten.  To pretend the memories never existed, and pretend and wish and dream so hard that they never did.  To alter truth, and time, and space.  To willingly forget you knew a person.  To cast them adrift, in a sea of nothings that had never been, and become to one another as strangers again.

Without the light of acknowledgement in your eyes, did we ever know each other once?

I am pleased.

To have made your acquaintance.

Life - Sonder

Life - Sonder

"sonder
n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inher
ited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk."

Divine Horizon - Speech

Divine Horizon - Speech



One of the tasks I made for myself in working on Divine Horizon was to write an inciting speech by fictional Cardinal al-Rashid. It was a great assignment for myself in studying speech pathology, what works linguistically and what doesn't, and great speeches both in history and in fiction. Below is my first pass at writing this speech, which Cardinal al-Rashid gives in Damascus just prior to being assassinated. It draws heavily from Charlie Chaplin's Great Dictator speech.

Divine Horizon - Janelle

Divine Horizon - Janelle

So for one of the projects I'm doing right now, I've created a character for the 'communally written game' we're working on called Divine Horizon.  One of these things that we did as an exercise is we all created a character, 8 people, for our game.  These 8 characters would form the backbone for the playercharacters in the game.

UDK - Cloudfight

UDK - Cloudfight

Just posting some updates on my newest map, UDK - VCTF Cloudfight.

It's a capture the flag map between two massive towers where span bridges provide access to the opposing team bases.  Lots of jumping around, flying through the air and wide open spaces for fighting in.

Life - Ignorance

Life - Ignorance

You can't plead ignorance for the rest of your life.  "I didn't know", and "no one ever told me", will only ever work for so long...At some point, you need to know, to research, to respect, and to understand.

Potential needs to become growth sooner or later, or else it is forever wasted.
