Developers Relic are no strangers when it comes to the Warhammer 40,000 license with a number of successful games in the Dawn of War series which have seen a number of expansions and a sequel which has also seen it’s own expansions.
For Space Marine, Relic have changed things up with the third person genre, similar to what they did to RTS games with the launch of Dawn of War, they are offering a similar approach but switching up the rules, the result is for genre filled with cover-based shooters Space Marine is a refreshingly needed departure.
As a new year dawns in so do new opportunities, although the year is still young at four days it is never too early to implement some changes into your life. This mainly resolves around some self-doubt I had which mainly is due to the immensely shitty financial climate here in the UK looking for work is an up hill battle but I let it get to me. I’m leaving that behind me because honestly it is pointless dwelling on it I can only focus on finding a solution to the problem and I aim to do just that.
This year 2012, I’m going to focus a lot on my creative side because honestly I miss it. The two priorities are sketching, general arty stuff, going to do some basic sketch work, and I’ll be trying some new stuff with inks to finally nail my style of work. I feel I’m close I just need to go that extra mile to find it.
I’ll be picking up some new equipment and a new sketchpad today to kick start things in the right direction.
The second being video production, currently using Sony Vegas, I like it so far, took a little while to get my head around it after using premiere for so long. Just started off with some simple intro and outro sequences which I will be posting up here, they look pretty good if I do say so myself.
These a just a few changes I’m making but there are many more I’m just taking a stand, I know where I want to be in five to ten years and I want to make sure I get to the point I want to be at.
As for this blog initially it was more of a professional blog but like I said before it was just way too boring at times, from now on it will be have a varied amount of content and plenty more of my art work too. That is all for tonight there are things to be done in the morning.
