I've moved to tumblr, due to the larger attention in social media. I will be posting mainly personal stuff (anime gifs and such) But I will release dev posts and will most likely be named like so:

Side Quest 003: {Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo} Gather Ideas and Inspiration from Anime - In Progress

Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo is an Anime Movie. It is a Adventure Drama.

The movie is about a young girl meeting a mysterious boy who saves her from a dangerous situation. That's all I can really say about the story without spoiling oh and she has a cute little pet!

The theme of the anime is Life and Death. The Anime is portraying a journey to find oneself and teaching the characters and the audience of the concept of Life and Death.

I quite enjoyed it, a big change from typical Anime tropes. I mostly liked how they portrayed the importance of everything rather than ignore minor characters.

What I learnt from this film is that when making stories, every character should have their own, no matter how minor of a character they are, although that's what this anime made me think, I don't think its shown as much in the film but all of the important character's development were explained well during the movie.

I guess I'd give this 8/10
I recommend to those who want a change of pace in Anime. Note that I haven't seen all of Studio Ghibili's films and I've seen 1 or 2 of em back in high school for a class and they felt similar.

Daily Quest: {1 month disappearance} Daily Happenings

Firstly I apologize for my absence for those of you who even follow my posts (Don't think there's many of you yet. xD)

My friends thought it was a good idea to get me back into Warframe, and that's where most of my time went, along with Anime and the usual stuffs. I was planning on studying on developing games these holidays too. I was really about to start 2 weeks before classes start, then BOOM - PAYDAY 2 BETA OUT NOW! Dropped everything I was doing and downloaded that shiz.

Well good news is that I got a new laptop! And it can run stuff on High! =D
Which means that I will probably get less or hopefully no lag when playing Oculus Rift games, which I am planning on doing in between doing classwork.

This semester I'll be learning how to use UDK and a bunch of other web stuff and 3D stuff. So I might actually update this with actual progress! Might start recording Payday 2 Gameplay too - if I get time or can be bothered.

Side Quest 003: {Aku no Hana 06} Gather Ideas and Inspiration from Anime - In Progress

So this Anime finally finished? No, apparently it was only Part One.

So this anime might continue one day, although I think a lot of people disliked it, mainly because of it's art style and slow paced story.

But I kinda liked this Anime in my own way, it made me think about myself, and what I would've done in those situations, and curiosity is what drove me to watch the next episode.

I think Aku no Hana was trying to show in realistic ways of a choice, the path which most won't take if they had to choose. Also I believe Aku no Hana was trying to portray a person's true colors even if that person is unaware of their own true colors. Or it could be the power of a person's actions can drastically change their and other people's lives.

I guess I give it a 7/10.

Side Quest 003: {Aku no Hana 05} Gather Ideas and Inspiration from Anime - In Progress

Truth. That is the keyword for episode 10 of Aku no Hana

I surprisingly enjoyed this episode, it showed a lot of emotion yet confusion on what goes on on his mind. But a truth has been told and we have some clarity to what goes into his mind and some clue to why he acts the way he does in the previous episodes.

Nothing really bad in this episode, nothing was dragged out like some other episodes.. It was actually really interesting progress.

Side Quest 002: {Shingeki no Kyojin Criticism /*No Spoilers*/} Recommend Anime to the Internets - In Progress

Shingeki no Kyojin Criticism /*No Spoilers*/

Don't get me wrong I LOVE THIS ANIME. 

But there is one thing that bugs me almost every single episode (so far), a lot of them drags on at different parts and progresses really slowly to the point where there is almost always a cliffhanger every episode.

Well I don't know if they're real cliffhangers or I'm just way too excited for the next episode, but a lot of the time, something important is about to happen and they end the episode.

Cliffhangers are good, but not nearly every episode, that just starts to piss people or maybe just me off.

BUT I still recommend this anime to everyone. It has a great story and great characters.

Although if you don't like cliffhangers each episode, you could just wait for the whole series to finish then watch it, but I can't since I'm not that patient. =/

P.S. MIKASAAAAAA!

Daily Quest: {Assignments & Future Company Name/Logo} Daily Happenings

I've been busy a lot these past months doing assignments and all, which is the reason why I haven't progressed too far on my game developing skills, I still am doing my assignments.

Although with one of my assignments I had to create my own game company website, so instead of creating it for just an assignment, I decided to make it my actual game company name.

It's called "BITSharp Studios". 

I did a quick Google search if it existed and it didn't! So don't go stealing my name other companies! 

Ignore the watermark. Can never be too careful these days.

Side Quest 003: {Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom} Gather Ideas and Inspiration from Anime - In Progress

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

I just finished watching this anime, I just couldn't stop watching it, I even gave up sleep just to watch it (I like to watch anime late at night, especially if it's a dark theme).

But I should tell you what the anime is about. To be honest, it's quite difficult to explain without spoiling the anime, even the description, so I'll just explain from what you'll learn from the Anime.

This isn't some badass Anime where assassins just kill everything (this is a Seinen Anime not a typical shounen), it has deeper meaning, I guess it's rediscovery of oneself. Rediscovery? Yes, the main character loses his memories of the past and is turned to an assassin.

But in this Anime, the main character not only attempts to rediscover himself, but also we learn in a surprisingly realistic way of what the life of a assassin would look like. Not only that, but due to many various events, you could expect anything to happen.

This Anime made me feel a whole bunch of emotions, happy, sad, angry, confused. I guess this is why I like Seinen Anime, they have more mature stories which creates many emotions, and is not bounded by typical Anime norms.

Recommendation

This Anime reminded me a lot of Gungrave and Darker than Black, and are similar in many ways. Although it is unique to other Anime of this type.

Ideas and Inspiration

This is another Anime which I could reference to for a deeper meaningful story and of one way of how assassins come to be. I also haven't seen many games that showed how the learnt how to use a gun, and they're just simply born with it. Also since I'm planning on having masked people in a future game I'm planning it helps a lot more.

I give it a personal bias 10/10, the Anime itself I probably give it a 9/10 due to some unexplained stuff.

Main Quest 002: {VR Cinema 3D} Oculus Rift - In Progress

I've finally found the VR Cinema, which I've seen back before I even got my Oculus Rift, thanks to the update from Oculus. https://developer.oculusvr.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1140

Also I also confirmed that I get very minimal motion sickness, when watching a movie in VR cinema (I watched The Matrix: Revolutions with no breaks which is almost 2 hours minus the credits)

The developer's website is: http://uxground.com/ and is in Korean but you can just scroll down and find VR Cinema 3D

There is also a 3D mode, where if you can find a side by side video (sbs) you can view it in 3D!

Side Quest 003: {Aku no Hana 04} Gather Ideas and Inspiration from Anime - In Progress

Aku no Hana

Yep this anime yet again to sum this episode up without too much of a spoiler is:

Walking, walking, walking, more walking, something actually happens.

Yay! Walking!

I think they made half the episode walking to build the suspense for what was about to happen, although they took it way too far.

So I heard you like walking, so here's more walking! =D

I recommend just skipping to the 14 minute mark and watch from there, maybe even a minute before to get slightly more suspense. The only thing that happens before then is that he goes home then goes back to school.
