Stuff Getting Interesting { B-) }
It has almost been six months in Seamedu, my first sem is about end. It's about time we would start doing something that should make us feel like we're doing something significant. These six months we've been given the basics and I think now starts the serious stuff.Two significant things have started off to mark my progress, one is official and the other something that I,m planning to do. Let's talk about the official thing first, well I've been made a part of a small team that has to work on a game that was made by a previous batch of game programmers. I'm not allowed to talk much about the game itself but I can say that it gives you a taste of what one might face while working with some real developers. So far we've been playing other published games similar to the one we're supposed to work so as to collect ideas that can be used to make the game better.
The second thing that I initiated is a "manga". This kinda sounds totally out of topic doesn't it, I know but I think it can also be a step to know closely how does stuff work here in the industry of animation and gaming. I think this will help because we all know how the Japanese counterpart of this industry works. They are famous for there awesome story boarding technique the "manga", then they make it into anime and then games and their stuff becomes very popular. So, that's why I decided to try my hand at story boarding the Japanese style.
Right now I don't have a clue what type of plot or scenario I'm going to make in the manga, but then I thought what the heck - if I keep thinking about stuff I would never get started so I decided to start anyways with just the protagonist's name and his background. I'm kinda planning on making up the plot and characters as I move further with this thing. Right now I'm just working on the intro of my protagonists. Well for rest of the details.... I don't plan on putting up much stuff out here since I recently learned about the copyright laws and right to intellectual property and all that stuff.. :-P.... yeah seriously, I don't want my idea replicated elsewhere. Well the basic idea is of a world where two different human forms dwell together, both have special powers which originated fro different sources and the protagonist happens to be a hybrid of the two.
I had recently watched(re-watched) the anime "Naruto" and discovered many interesting things that I didnt notice when I was a kid and was superbly influenced by it. I also am now reading the manga.... so this was kind of the inspiration behind the whole my manga thing, so it's pretty obvious that my work is going to have traces of inspiration drawn from Naruto. But even so I would never be able to match the kind of quality Masashi Kishimoto has produced, I'll try though....... Well that's that, I wanted to talk about my idea of manga... and yeah don't confuse it with the one I've posted there on the other tab it's just a really old attempt at story-boarding using existing characters of Pokemon.. :-P
