Day 18 - There's actually a Day 17
Yeah, it's there. But I'm not showing it... yet. I'm keeping it as a draft post for now, for personal reasons. However, I'll show it out in time.
But in short, Day 16 was the worst day of my life, and Day 17 was not exactly the best, but it was an important day. It gave me a new sense of direction, and brought me back to the right path. I'm still using the pencil case that I got from junior college, there's the school motto painted on it - 'The Best Is Yet To Be'. Come to think of it, I haven't took a good look at my pencil case for a while.
I woke up early today and felt very good, after a whole week of not sleeping at night. It still took me quite a while to start working after idling for a few days, but after a while I picked up the pace. Frankly, starting again was hard. I fought hard against myself to stay on the chair. I decided to look for salvation before it was too late, that I might just fall back into my slump.
Fortunately, my aunt was there for me. I was always keeping things to myself, especially from my parents. But my aunt was my confidant. I spilled everything to her. And she prayed for me.
I regained some confidence after that. I wrote a little document (well, 5 pages) about game balance ad showed it to a colleague. He enjoyed it. We talked on our game for a while, and out came so many more great ideas that we were so excited to test it out tomorrow. Suddenly the path seems clear.
Right now, I can't wait to sleep, so that I can wake up the next day fresh and excited. It feels great - no, AWESOME to be a game designer. And by Saturday, I'll have the design document ready. I can't wait for that day either... just to think that so many people will be playing this game not too far in the future, but loving it!
I love my job!
Don't you envy me that I'm the designer for the best game in the world?
