My stressful job and flat tire seem trivial now.
The hardest part for me now... is not being able to be creative. No time / energy.. and or at times... resources.. to be able to do great things...
What is it you create when you do have time?
If you look around, you will see some of my game design concept artworks. Most of my time was dedicated to this.
I have stacks of design works, going back since I was a little kid... but my art skills were far lacking. Ive been working
to advance these skills, and have produced some recent pictures, that far better illustrate what Id like to get made.
I also want to try my hand at oil and water painting. Ive done the bob ross stuff when I was 20.. but that
method is too generic and limited. Its time to learn the real deal. Ive also used acrylics, and recently helped
to restore a pinball playfield... but overall acrylics do not blend well, and lack translucency and vibrance of oils.
I Want to build a 100% mechanical ice cold beer game variation. Possibly using a pinball for more challenge...
Maybe a large scale "two player only" version.. with a bowling ball...
Want to try to redesign a pinball machine...
Have ideas to try for personal transport, like a bionic animal-gate converter.
Still want to build something to play the classics...
Would love to get the right people together, to create a better controller, for digital art input.
Have many other mechanical based game/toy ideas, as well as game experiments Id like to try.
Want to make some form of force-feedback simulator. Either something somewhat typical... or maybe:
- A fully cable driven harness, that allows you to be lifted, slid, moved... in all directions.
- A special game controller for Target Earth.. where you are attached to a counter-weighted arm/seat... that mimics the Mecha's floating jump gate...
thus adding a really cool feel to the game. Force feedback (motors and or bass shakers) to feel the explosions,
and separate feedback for your guns firing (solenoids).
- A special controller for the game "Kick". A unicycle like setup, with bike pedals / bike wheel - to deliver the analog speed and direction.
With a bar-suspended, air filled ball, that you actually have to kick, to active the kick button function. Maybe add the addition of a handlebar set, for
traditional bike games (or even something like Prop-Cycle. Paperboy converter?.. etc)
- Still have a great Multi-Spinner design Id like to try to put together.
- As well as some other special arcade controllers / converters.
- And I have make a Starwars yoke... considering that somehow, mine arcade yoke was either lost in the shuffles.. or outright stolen...
like my speakers, my ultimark encoder, my real high carbon steel chinese broadsword.. and a bunch more... =.(
- Want to experiment with Blacklight UV paintings...
So much I want to do...
