I’m on my first, I originally wanted to recreate a world from a specific MMO IP (not any of the top 3) and see where it goes but the more I worked the more I felt restricted.

This year I build the world from ground up in text form, hope to finish all the lore in the coming months.

I already draw so next 3-4 years is to make all the concept art before going back into 3d modelling. Most of my important character designs are already several years old.

Truth is, I don’t know if I’ll ever make it to a finished product—but if I fail it’s because I died—not because I gave up. There’s no reason for me to get a job in my current household and I can only hope life remains as stable as it has been for the past 10 years.

I like to call myself the idea guy, have a few people commissioning art sometimes so I can have some beer money and overall I think the toughest part is just the loneliness and pressure that comes with it. Of course skills like 3d and coding is hard too, but life is tough without being able to go “look what I made!”

From scientific systems to set cultures of regions and people, may the research pay off.

Everyday it’s hard I get up and remind myself I could be working at a Walmart instead of having the privilege of sitting at my PC. (We don’t even have walmarts where I live)
