I'm shocked at how fast this year has passed by. My greatest achievement was definitely the Ultima: Exodus Remix project. It's was fun, productive, and inspiring and I really want to do more. I really wanted to work on more after that project, but then I teetered off because of fixing up my online portfolio, applying for jobs, and then getting majorly distracted since October with the release of Super Smash Bros. 3DS and Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus. I still didn't produce as much audio as I wanted and I still couldn't land a job, though I thought I had a chance with the audio department at Riot Games, but I felt like it was still a productive and fun year. I'm going to work even harder next year with the excitement of creating even more music.
I've been kind of taking it easy this month of December, though I have been helping out a lot around the house since we were preparing for my sister's return today of which she'll be home for 2 weeks. The Black Friday sales, Cyber Monday sales, Winter Sales and Christmas sales have really influenced me this year as I bought quite a bit. I bought games like Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Child of Light and just received Valkyria Chronicles last night as a gift for PC; bought games like Conception 2, XBlaze, Embryo, Sword Art Online -Hollow Fragment-, and Freedom Wars for handhelds (3DS/PSV); and games like Project DIVA F 2nd, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and Drakengard 3 for PS3 the past month or so. With so many interesting games to play, I'm stretched thin on time of what to focus on. And since my sister is coming home today, I'll probably be playing games with her too. It should be a pretty fun Christmas, and I'm actually looking forward to next year. I still worry about not finding a job, but I'm really excited to be working on more personal projects to hopefully bolster my presence to the industry.
