![]() ![]() Thank you for continuing on making games for us! Even though the road is long and hard, you can do it ^^ I do have one question though. No matter how old I am, I shall never lose the spirit of learning.Įfffang asked: Hi! I've been a huge fan of your work for a couple of years. My favorite phrase in life is “Live till old, learn till old”. Knowing that I still have room to grow is always better than realizing the limitation of your own skill. I feel I still have a long way to go, and that in a way is a good thing. Maybe I’m just being too greedy, because I want to improve in every aspect of game making, and that of course includes arts. It’s sad because I feel I’m being left behind in this chase of mastering art. Have I progressed? Or stagnate? Or worse, regressed? Have I gone anywhere? I certainly don’t draw as much, nor do I have time to experiment with arts anymore. However, there are times I stop and ponder - what has become the skill set that I painstakingly tried to learn for the past decade. For someone who loves to tell stories, that’s a skill I’m really happy to have. For one, I feel I have become a better writer. I don’t necessarily hate this change, as I gained many other skills in the process. But I sure did lose a crap ton of followers just from the shift. I don’t know how many people lament about my sudden change in focus, since I’m sure there are many who preferred my arts over my games, or just not a gamer in general. Known more as an indie game developer than an artist. Nowadays, I’m just a shadow of my former self. In the past, I used to have an online presence as an artist. It’s ironic, I’ve gone from someone who drew all the time, took notebooks to sketch wherever I went, to someone who hardly draws anymore. While 90% of them is really bad, it serves as a wonderful stepping stone.Īnd then in 2006, I got Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which is my second turning point of life. I made sure that every year I produced at least 200 pages of manga, and I have succeeded in doing that from 1995 to 2006, accumulating over 2000 pages of them. For someone who has zero artistic skill, it’s a tough wall to climb, but I persevered. Ever since I made that decision, I drew almost every day. It did however impact how I lived my life. Just another hardcore manga fan wanted to imitate their favorite creators. I decided that I wanted to be a manga artist. ![]() There are at least two large turning points of my life. Being old makes you reflect on things more often - like what kind of life I’ve been living and so on. So another year has passed by, and I’m older by a year. ![]()
