Ok, so I hope you are starting to get as tired of me as I am as this post will tie together the last parts which I still haven't talked about. And I can start writing about other stuff after I am done with it!
It will be great.
I am writing this with a man kind of standing a couple of feet away, it's a bit unsettling but well what do you do, I helped out trying to find people and I don't really even know what I was asked to help with. Now he is talking in phone and I am starting to think he might be contemplating something devious against me! :P
Anyhow, me and my family were done in Skövde, my efforts on Magicka 2 was all in place and I were quite excited to read reviews and hear comments on the game. However as you might know those things you spent so much time and work on never seem to be what others look at. I read reviews and stuff and nowhere did anyone say: "...and you could see the work which went into making that liquid go solid under your spray and the AI would adept to the circumstances" instead they might say: "The AI is a bit predictable and a bit too aggressive in it's chase!". However it's how it goes really, I mean I may also choose to be proud that no reviews took any of the stuff I worked on as a bad example, I mean if they didn't say anything bad about it when critically reviewing, it couldn't be too bad at least.
So I got a job working in advertising and mainly worked in javascript to create html-banners, and it might seem boring but it was actually a lot of fun. You really get to make use of the powerful tools and ways to work with them creating really awesome content! It is super fun doing banners, it's fast pace so you don't spend too much time on the same project and you always have something new to work on. It is generally quite rewarding.
At the same time I started out working on a project called Smelly Memories which is a small traditional stop-motion animated game with feminist values. I am really happy to have that on the side and I am in the last stages of finishing up the mock ups for the last level!
I however got an offer to work on a game which I couldn't say no to. I really didn't want to leave but at the same time I am a big fan of Robert Kirkman and his works, I am a fan of Skybound and the job I said yes to was one where I would work with a Skybound IP with connection to Norman Reedus. I felt like I had to take it. I however weren't at all happy with the work environment or the feeling I had at the place and I only stayed a month because I felt that it really weren't what I had hoped for.
I then started to look for a job, a job where I would like to be, where I could have more responsibility and where I could still have the time to see my family. In some kind of broader perspective I also wanted a job where I could start and make realistic and serious planning for a business-idea I've been carrying for some time. So I went to a couple of places but landed at the university hospital working in registries. And it's where I am at, the reason you are reading here is because I am at a place where I see a long term situation and I am starting out planning for the business I want to create.
It will still be some time before I am ready to move on, and I will be writing here daily because it is fun and rewarding and it is nice to see that people seem to read it. Now I am super tired and almost at home I added some parts so that I can publish this post, soon I have to get off the subway.
